Healthy volunteers needed for brain research: MAPrc
At the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc), we do a number of human
studies where we explore how the brain works, and how we can make it
work better in people who experience mental illness. This means that we
are always in need of healthy volunteers to act as “control”
participants. This may mean we are looking for volunteers
to come into our centre and carry out behavioural or computerised
tasks, or have a brain scan or undergo one of
several brain stimulation techniques.
