The Interactive Mind and Movement Lab (IMM Lab) is studying how different parts of the brain work when children learn new skills for hand-eye coordination.
The research team is looking for children to participate in a neuroimaging study (MEG/MRI) to evaluate children’s learning of new motor movements through a behavioural task.
About the study:
In this study, participants will first complete a quick visual assessment and then play a video game in the MEG scanner. The video game involves using a mouse cursor to interact with animated images on the computer monitor. This will be followed by a short MRI scan, where the participant will be asked to lie in the MRI scanner for 15 minutes.
Participants will receive an honorarium. The study requires one visit at Surrey Memorial Hospital and will take around 2-2.5 hours.
Eligibility:
Children aged 6-11, who have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and no metal in their body.
Location of study:
Surrey Memorial Hospital
Eligibility:
Children aged 6-11 with healthy vision and no metal in their body.
