Healthy Adult Study:

We are currently recruiting volunteers for simple computer-based, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and/or TMS experiments in the lab. Participants will be compensated $10-$20 per hour depending on the type of experiment. If you are interested, please email desrocherslab@gmail.com. Participants must be: 18-35 years old and right-handed.

Directions:

Dr. Dersrochers’ Office or Lab Offices

Address: Sidney Frank Hall (SFH) for Life Sciences building, 185 Meeting Street, Providence, RI 02912

Enter the building through the main entrance on Meeting St. You’ll be on the 2nd floor of Sidney Frank Hall. Walk straight ahead and the elevator will be on your right. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor (Neuroscience Department).

When you exit the elevator you’ll see a sign straight ahead indicating the direction to the Research Tower. In front of the elevator (slightly to your right) is a long hallway, which leads to the Research Tower. Walk to the end, across the sky bridge, and take the clear door into the Research Tower. You’ll be on the 3rd floor.

Turn right, and walk all the way down this hallway where another set of elevators will be on your left (just past the stairs). Take the elevator or the stairs next to the elevator to the 5th floor. Exit the elevator and turn left.

Dr. Desrochers’s office (Rm. 562) is about half way down the hallway on the right. The lab’s office (Rm. 583) is at the end of the hallway.

(Note to the Brown community: While there is an entrance to the SFH Research Tower on Olive St., it does not have general card access and you must have specific access to that part of the building. The main, Meeting St., entrance is unlocked during business hours.)

TMS Study

Address: Robert J. & Nancy D. Carney Institute for Brain Science Rm. 424 (164 Angell St. 4th Floor, Providence, RI 02912)

The study will take place in the Carney Institute (164 Angell St.) on the 4th floor in Rm. 424. This is the building with the Brown Bookstore on the first floor.
