Dear All,
I'm pleased to announced that we're about to start a new study which will
look at the relationship between the size of the hippocampus and performance
on a topographical memory task.
The aim is to make use of MRI data collected in connection with previous and
ongoing studies. We are looking to make contact with potential participants
(healthy adults, aged 18-50) who have already had an MRI scan at YNiC or who
will have one over the next 6-9 months. An additional constraint is that
they should be available to take part in a brief (15-20 minute)
psychological test later in the year.
If you have already or are about to conduct a study with suitable
participants and are willing to help, we would like to hear from you so that
we can begin the process of contacting subjects and identifying studies in
which they have participated. We aim to make this as easy for you and the
potential participants as possible. There is a also a panel of volunteers
who have agreed to be approached regarding future studies at YNiC, and we
intend to approach these via the Director. To respond, please use the link
below (please be careful not to "reply to all"!):

a-study
You may yourself have had a scan and be interested in participating - if so,
please contact us, and we can then begin the process of tracking down your
scan and obtaining permission to analyze the data. There is no need to make
a firm commitment at this stage, and as with all such studies, you would be
free to withdraw at any time. If this fits you, please use the following
