The Buchsbaum Lab headed by Dr Bradley Buchsbaum at Rotman Research Institute in Baycrest Hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto is looking for healthy males to participate in a computer-based functional-magnetic-resonance-imaging (fMRI). The study consists of a single session of up to 1hr 30 min where you view pictures of different objects such as a bookshelf presented on a computer screen while being scanned in a
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. You will be tested on your memory for the object while learning about the usefulness of fMRI to answer interesting questions on the functions of the human brain as necessary for continued progress in research in the field of Cognitive
Neuroscience.
You will be compensated $50 for participation in the 1 hr 30 min study
The fMRI study is being conducted by Jordana Wynn, a PhD candidate in the graduate Psychology program at UofT.
You are eligible to participate if you:
– Are between the ages of 18 to 35
– Are Male
– Have 20/20 vision or wear non-coloured contact lenses
– Do not have metal implants
– Are not claustrophobic
– Do not have any history of psychiatric or neurological diseases.
