Seeking healthy volunteers age 55 or above for MRI study

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab at Johns Hopkins University is seeking participants for an MRI experiment that investigates the effect of visual developmental experience on cognitive and language processes in the brain. The lab is looking for participants between the ages of 55 and 70, who have normal hearing and normal or corrected vision. Additionally, participants should have between 13 and 21 years of education.
