The UC Irvine Working Memory & Plasticity Lab (PI: Susanne Jaeggi) in collaboration with the UC Riverside Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being is conducting exciting work focusing on harnessing modern technologies to understand and improve brain fitness. We have numerous opportunities for participation as a research subject or as a research assistant. Please see below for opportunities:

TRY OUR SOFTWARE BY PARTICIPATING IN OUR STUDIES
We are recruiting undergraduate students for several studies that will continue through Summer and Fall 2021! Our studies involve playing video games on your cell phone, tablet or computer and are designed to test and/or improve various cognitive and perceptual abilities! Our games combine many principles that individually lead to perceptual and cognitive improvements; however, we do not know the extent of the improvements and the exact contribution of each component. Your participation will help us improve our games and determine how different principles contribute to better cognitive function, as well as identify
which aspects are more FUN! Some of our studies may last only 1 day or up to 4 weeks, while others may last up to 3 quarters.

If you are interested in participating in one of our studies, please use the link below and fill out the short survey. We will contact you in a follow-up email with specific study details once we receive this information.
