Participate in Our Research Be a part of our groundbreaking research initiatives by volunteering! Our research delves into understanding the complexities behind severe psychiatric illnesses. Our studies may involve - non-invasive methods like EEG recordings, where sensors are placed on the scalp to capture brainwave activity MRI brain scans simple measurements of button-press responses or eye movements blood sample which will be used for genetic and stem cell studies For more information about which studies are currently recruiting volunteers, click the project names to read about the work and go through the hyperlinked information & consent forms listed below. If you are eager to participate as a research volunteer, click the project you wish to volunteer for and fill out the Google form. Once registered, we will reach out to you when a suitable study becomes available. Your involvement plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the human brain, and we welcome you to be a part of our exciting journey in pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. Who can volunteer? Unaffected Volunteers PARAM ENIGMA Anyone who has not been diagnosed with a severe mental illness, nor have any of their immediate family members. Anyone without major/severe development delays who can sit through a neuropsychology assessment and answer questions would be eligible for our assessments. Healthy elders, persons with Alzheimer’s dementia, and persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI—a stage between normal cognitive functioning and dementia)
