December 11th, 2019

The US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) in Natick, MA is seeking volunteers for a research study investigating the effectiveness of a non-invasive tool that uses mild electrical stimulation of the face to improve learning. The purpose of this study is to determine whether this tool could reduce the amount of time Warfighters need to acquire marksmanship proficiency. If you qualify for participation, you will be asked to answer questions about yourself and your health, complete marksmanship tasks involving a simulated M4 rifle and have your heart rate monitored. Your participation in this study will last approximately 13 hours, which will be spread across 4 days.

To be included in this study, you must be 18 to 30 years of age, exercise at least twice a week, and speak/read English fluently. You cannot have prior military/law enforcement service, and minimal or no prior experience with firearms, including pistols, shotguns, or rifles.

You may receive up to $300 for completing this study if you do not work for the government. Reimbursement may be available for transportation services.

To find out more information please call (508) 206-2432 or email william.h.neumeier.mil@mail.mil
