Research Study Description

Thank you for your interest in our language study! The aim of this study is to understand language processing in the brain as it relates to your learning and language abilities in autistic and non-autistic adults. The study consists of a 2-hour in-person assessment session and a 1.5 hour on-site fMRI session at Northeastern University. We will be collecting both an MRI scan of your brain and cognitive and language assessments.

Participants will be compensated $20 per hour for the MRI portion of the experiment, and $10 per hour for the assessment session via an Amazon gift card voucher.

We are seeking adults between 18-14 years old who are autistic (formally diagnosed) or non-autistic with English as their native language.

Please reach out if you have any questions. We can be reached at 617-651-1160 or [email protected].
