Are you researching me?

Are you an older adult who would like to participate in a study?

Rhode Island Hospital and Miriam Hospital are conducting a study to find new markers for the early detection of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s dementia.

Who is eligible to participate? Adults aged 60 and over with and without a family history of Alzheimer’s dementia.

Information: You will be asked to perform computer tasks that require you to look at images and press buttons. While you complete these tasks, you will wear a cap that measures the electrical activity of your brain. The cap is non-invasive and will not cause pain.

The study includes 1-2 study visits, paper and pencil tests and cognitive tests.

Compensation will be provided for participation in this study.

For more information, please contact Julia Sinople at [email protected] or call 401-444-9061.
