Peer Study Participant

Our study primarily focuses on bringing groups of people together to better understand how peer relationships affect our health habits with alcohol usage. Our participants get to experience this really cool fMRI hyperscanning technique! Unlike your usual fMRI scan, hyperscanning allows us to get simultaneous brain records from multiple brains at once!

We make the process for participants to join super easy! If you are around the age of 18-19 and can speak English, we highly recommend you apply!

From there, we’ll schedule a quick phone screen with you to make sure all things are in order, and from there well get you set up with our team to join the study! What we do is have our participants come into the lab for a one-time session with a peer, and from there, we will have online follow-ups with them after 3, 6, and 12 months. Joining our study is a great opportunity to see the ins and outs of a lab, be a part of groundbreaking research, while making up to $225 dollars in the process.
