Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I join your registry?
By joining the registry, you agree to be contacted by our researchers to participate in the studies where you meet the criteria. (Our registry is shared with collaborating labs across Northeastern University where you may also meet the requirements to partake in studies). You may request us to remove your contact information at any point if you no longer wish to be contacted by us or the collaborating labs.
How and when will my family be contacted for a particular study?
You and/or your family will be contacted through your preferred method of communication (email or phone) once our researchers have confirmed your eligibility to participate in the study.
What are the requirements for participating in a study?
Participant requirements tend to vary by age, sex, and conditions that the research is seeking to study. If you are interested in participating in our study, please check out our Projects Page which will tell you the specifics of each research!
What are study sessions like?
The first step of our study session is reviewing the consent form with you to inform you of the purpose and the procedure of the study, risks, and benefits, and the data collected from you when you participate. Once you perform the various tasks, we will debrief you with additional research information, such as the specific measurements we have collected from you, to help answer any questions you may have. We will compensate you for your time and may schedule any follow-ups if the study requires. Please note that you may request to stop participating and be removed from the study at any point.
Do you pay people to participate in studies?
Yes! The rates and method of compensation may vary by the study.
