Volunteers Needed … for a Brain Imaging Study on Perfusion in Alzheimer’s Disease.
We are recruiting volunteers to participate in a non-invasive brain imaging method called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Brain images of the participants will be obtained while they perform memory tasks and at rest.
The study appointment will take approximately two and a half hours. Participants will receive a contribution toward expenses they may incur due to participation in this study. Participants are encouraged to have a family member accompany them.
Volunteers must:
1) be older adults (ages 65 – 90)
2) be fluent in English
3) have normal vision OR if you are uncertain about your vision without glasses, there is a sample diagram you can try.
4) meet all MRI safety criteria (no metal in your body)
5) be either cognitively healthy OR have mild Alzheimer’s Disease with no other cognitive impairments
6) be a healthy adult meeting the criteria outlined in (1 - 4 above)
