Researchers seeking participants for brain imaging study

Auburn University researchers are looking for people between the ages of 19 and 55 to participate in a brain imaging research study on the effect of stressful life events on a short-term memory.

This study involves up to two visits to Auburn University. During the first visit, eligible participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires followed by an interview with a researcher. Questions will relate to mental health and stressful life events. Some participants will be invited to a second visit during which they will be asked to undergo an MRI scan of the brain while completing a short-term memory task.

Participants will be compensated $15 for the interview and up to $35 for the MRI scan.

Exclusions from this study include:

• Metal in the body (not including dental work)

• Claustrophobia

• Body piercing jewelry that cannot be removed

• Pregnant or possibly pregnant
