Take part in a motor action research study and earn cash

Maria Gkotsi, PhD student from the UCL Institute of Neurology is recruiting participants for a study which focuses on understanding whether planned motor action can be inhibited.

Researchers will ask participants to sit comfortably in a chair, a watch-like device will be attached at the wrist and will send tiny vibrations that are painless. Participants will feel a sensation but it will not be painful. Researchers will ask participants to undertake a behavioural task that would be a simple reaction time task throughout the experiment.

What would taking part involve?

• Taking part in this study will involve one session of 60 minutes
• Ask you to do a behavioural task.
• Testing sessions will take place at 33 Queens Square, London, WC1N 3BG on the 4th floor.
