Do You Own a Dog in the Atlanta area? Our laboratory is enrolling a new team of dogs for our safe, noninvasive, and exciting fMRI and behavioral research projects! A tryout will be held in March to see if your dog's obedience skills are up to the study requirements.... Dogs can participate in many studies, so given the training required, we'd like to see you and your dogs for a while (e.g. please be planning on staying in the area for at least a year). Why: To examine how dogs process information (odors, pictures, people, etc.), how this information is represented neurally, and what this can tell us about nonhuman cognition For more information or to sign up your dog, please visit the website http://www.neuropolicy.emory.edu/ or click "Sign Up" on our Facebook Page
