On-Campus Studies
Scoops
Primary Investigator: Dr. Tashauna Blankenship
Age: 4-5 years old
Duration: 1-1.15 hours
Compensation: $50, a certificate and a small gift
In this study children will play a memory-based computer game to make virtual ice cream cones. This study involves electroencephalography (EEG), which is a noninvasive way to measure brain electrical activity. Your child will wear a cap with electrodes for the duration of the experiment. A gel will be applied to parts of their scalp. Towels will be provided to wipe off most of the gel after the study. We also have a wash area if you would prefer to wash off the gel after the study.
If you're interested in participating please email us at [email protected] and one of our team members will schedule a time that works best for you and your child!

Glow Box
Primary Investigator: Dr. Tashauna Blankenship Age: 4-5 years old Duration: 45 mins to 1 hour Compensation: $30, a certificate and a small gift In this study we are interested in how children imagine the future. Children will play with two toys that glow red and blue. They will use some novel shapes to play with these toys. Importantly, our study involves electroencephalography (EEG), which is a noninvasive way to measure brain electrical activity. Your child will wear a cap with electrodes for the duration of the experiment. A gel will be applied to parts of their scalp. Towels will be provided to wipe off most of the gel after the study. We also have a wash area if you would prefer to wash off the gel after the study. Please feel free to email us if you would like further information on this procedure.

Abstract Shapes and Sounds
Primary Investigator: Dr. Vivian Ciaramitaro Age Range: 9-11 years old Duration: 15-30 minutes Compensation: $20, a certificate and a small gift In this study we want to understand how children put information from our different senses together. Your child will touch some objects and make judgments about these objects based on a sound played through the laptop, while we record your child’s responses and hand movement (a camera will record your child’s hands, but not their face).
