Healthy Brain Development Study

We are looking for Black and African American children in Omaha to be compensated for participating in a project about the brain!

Historically, the world of brain research has left out racial minorities, leaving a critical blind spot in how the outcomes of those projects can reach people of diverse backgrounds. Because of this, this study seeks to address this blind spot by including communities of color.

We are seeking Black and African American children to help us understand how the brain grows and how different life experiences influence this development. Participants will contribute to the project through a series of brain imaging scans, all of which are harmless and noninvasive. Help make a difference and advance research, and get compensated while doing it.

In this project, you will:

  • Complete 2 visits

  • Complete MEG and MRI scans

  • Complete brain games

  • Provide saliva samples

Children who are eligible:

  • Identify as Black or African American

  • Are between the ages of 9 and 16 years old

  • Are able to complete a series of brain games.

Children will receive a 3D printed model of their brain! There is no cost to you, and transportation and meals will be provided if needed.
