Participate in brain research

We are always looking for volunteers to participate in the research projects taking place in the Centre. These can range from short, one-off computer-based behavioural tasks, to longer-term studies using our larger imaging equipment, such as our MRI scanner. 

Studies sometimes offer incentives for participation, such as payment, vouchers, freebies, etc.

Volunteer eligibility criteria differs for each study (e.g. age, sex, language proficiency etc), and will be outlined by researchers upon recruiting.

Our Centre is used for research and educational purposes only, and as such, we, and our researchers, do not provide medical advice, diagnoses or treatment.

Once you have filled in the above screening form, you will receive an email to confirm that you have been added to one of our mailing lists. Many people, from birth to older age, sign up to our mailing lists. To reduce the number of study invitations you are not eligible for, we will add you to mailing lists that are more relevant to you, based on your age. This will help ensure you receive details about studies you are more likely to qualify for. If at any time you would like to be removed from a mailing list please email us at chbh@contacts.bham.ac.uk. 

Data protection

Please note that by signing-up to our mailing list above, you agree to your data being processed in accordance with the University of Birmingham's privacy policy.
