Participants sought for neuropsychology research project

Healthy young people (aged 5-16 years) are wanted to take part in a UCL research project: Neuroimaging investigations of language to aid paediatric neurosurgical decision-making . What is involved? - Participants will visit UCL for neuropsychological assessment (intelligence and language). They will also have the opportunity to visit Great Ormond Street Hospital for a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scan. MRI is a safe brain scan, which uses magnetism to create a picture of the brain. As a thank you for their time and co-operation, participants will receive a £10 gift voucher and a picture of their brain to take home. Interested? - If you are interested and would like please me directly: - Lucy Palmer, BSc - UCL Institute of Child Health - Developmental Cognitive Neurosciences Unit - 30 Guilford Street - London - WC1N 1EH Tel: 020 7905 2729 - Email: l.pamer.12 [a] ucl.ac (p) uk Project summary - We have developed a set of child-friendly and developmentally-appropriate language games for children aged between 5 and 16 years, called the 'Panda Games'. These games can be performed inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scanner to identify parts of the brain supporting language.
