Participants wanted for eye movement study in June

Students, earn compensation or extra credit in June through an eye movement study. Research participants are needed for the study, which lasts just a half-hour. Compensation for the study is $10.

The study is available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout June.

To be eligible for the study, you must be 18-years old or older, have normal or corrected-to normal visual acuity (you must wear your glasses or contact lenses), and have no history of flicker-induced epilepsy. A mask must also be worn in the lab.

During the study, participants will repeatedly search for a target randomly embedded in a display. Eye movements will be monitored. There is no risk to participants’ health.

Those in participating Psychology courses may also earn extra credit towards their class. The study will take place in room 204 (Vision Research Lab) of Reno Hall, which is located on the McNichols Campus of Detroit Mercy.
