We are currently recruiting participants aged 18-30 with normal or corrected to normal vision and participants aged 18-89 with Macular Degeneration/Stargardt's Disease for a clinical research study that aims to understand how individuals learn to use their peripheral vision following the loss of central vision. This study is being conducted in the Civitan International Research Center and involves a total of 27 in-person visits over the course of 1.5 to 3 months. There are 2 MRI visits (1 at the beginning of the study and one at the end), 5 assessment visits (3 baseline assessments and 2 post assessments), and a total of 20 training sessions (in between the baselines and the post assessments). Compensation for full participation in this study is $350.
This is a great opportunity for all to gain experience participating in a clinical research study. All participation would not only contribute to advancing our understanding of perceptual learning and how the brain processes vision, but also holds the potential to improve outcomes for those with central vision loss.
If you or someone you know may be interested, please consider participating.
For more information or to express interest, please email mcmaxwell@uabmc.edu or text or call 205-410-4041, or visit go.uab.edu/brainstudy to sign up!
