POEM fMRI

This is a 2-day MRI shock study that takes place at the Health Discovery Building. Participants may sign up for a virtual time slot to reserve a phone screening time where a member from our team will call your phone number associated with your SONA account to determine your eligibility.

For your first day, we will schedule a 2 hour block of time which will include preparation for the MRI, a task in the scanner, and surveys to be completed at the end of your visit.

For your second day, we will schedule a 3 hour block of time to go through MRI preparation, tasks in the scanner, and a computerized task at the end of your session. Participants will be compensated at the rate of $20 an hour.

CCXT

This study has four sessions total; the first visit is a virtual interview, and the second, third, and fourth sessions involve MRI scans at the Dell Medical School Health Discovery Building.

The virtual interview will happen about a week before your scans and can last between 2-5 hours. The in-person visits last about 2 hours, first two in-person visits are 24 hours apart. The third in-person visit will happen 2-4 weeks later from the first two. You will be paid $15/hour for your virtual interview and $20/hour for your in-person visits.
