Interested in participating in our studies?

We use a combination of neuropsychological and neuroimaging methodologies to understand brain-behaviour relationships in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Currently, in addition to using magnetic resonance imaging​ (structural, functional, resting state, diffusion), we are collecting eyetracking and magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from one of only two centre's in Australia with a MEG scanner. 

We are currently looking for participants for our studies.  If you are aged between 18 and 60 and fall into any of the groups below then we need your help. 

• Healthy adults with no neurological disorders or history of mental illness
• Adults diagnosed with bipolar I disorder
• Adults that have a first-degree biological relative diagnosed with bipolar disorder but do not have bipolar disorder themselves 

Get in touch about participating. You will be reimbursed for your time. More information here.
