Special Note:
Adult Autism/Asperger Study
The Riesenhuber Laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience
at Georgetown University Medical Center, in cooperation with
Children’s National Medical Center and its Center for
Autism Spectrum Disorders, is conducting a behavioral and
fMRI study investigating visual processing in autism spectrum
disorders.
We are seeking adults (age 18-60) who have been diagnosed
with an autism spectrum disorder and have normal or corrected-to-normal
vision (glasses/contacts). You cannot participate in this
study if you have medical implants in your body, such as
a pacemaker, or even orthodontic braces.
The study will consist of two sessions, the first for paperwork
and diagnostics, which may take place at the Rockville Outpatient
Center for Children’s National Medical Center, and
the second for behavioral and fMRI measurements on the campus
of Georgetown University in Washington, DC. In the behavioral
portion of the study you will watch images presented on a
computer screen and respond by pressing buttons. In the fMRI
portion you will be asked to lie still in a large device
that measures your brain activity while you watch and respond
to images. You will be paid $10/hr for behavioral and $20/hr
for fMRI testing. Free parking will be provided. You may
also have the opportunity to participate in further studies
in the lab.
