We are looking for healthy women to participate in a study investigating pressure around the brain. It's known as "Idiopathic [unknown reason] Intracranial [inside the skull] Hypertension [pressure]", and it mainly affects overweight women of child-bearing age. We would like to find out whether or not memory and thinking processes are affected in this condition.

We're looking for healthy body mass index (BMI) matched control participants to undergo cognitive testing.


If you are aged between 18-50 please get in touch to see if you're eligible! Testing sessions are conducted at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. Tasks include novel cognitive testing using eye movements as well as a short computer game.
