You are invited to participate in a study to better understand the long-term outcomes of traumatic brain injury.

Participants will be compensated at a rate of $20/hour, and will be asked to complete questionnaires, paper-and-pencil tasks, and computer games. Participants will also complete an MRI scan. 

To be eligible for the study, you must be between the ages of 18-55, have a history of traumatic brain injury, and be able to complete an MRI scan. 

For more information, contact the team at illinoismemoryresearch@gmail.com or fill out the online screening form.

Seeking participants between the ages of 25 and 75 in order to investigate the relationship between arterial health and aging and how this relates to changes in cognitive control (e.g., multi-tasking) throughout the lifespan. There will be four sessions lasting between two to four hours. This includes a neuropsychology session that assesses cognitive and motor functions, an MRI, an EEG, and an optical imaging session. Parking is provided and participants will be compensated $15/hour. We very much hope that you will be able to help us explore this relationship between brain/arterial health and age-related cognitive changes.

If you would like to participate in this study, please email brain-research@illinois.edu or call (217)-300-3171. We look forward to talking with you more about this exciting study!

A research team led by Fatima Husain, a professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science, seeks individuals who have tinnitus, are at least 18 years old, and are located anywhere in the world except China.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of COVID-19-related tinnitus, and to understand factors that might affect the severity of tinnitus during the pandemic. Individuals who developed tinnitus after the diagnosis of COVID-19, as a symptom of COVID-19 or long COVID-19, or after the vaccination for COVID-19 are considered as those who have COVID-19-related tinnitus.

Participating in this study will involve answering survey questions which will last 20-25 minutes.

This research is conducted under an exemption from the Institutional Review Board at the University of Illinois under protocol No. 23379.
