Brief description of study
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) shapes the way we think, talk, and communicate. After a brain injury, people sometimes notice changes in how they connect with others. Your participation can help us learn more about how people communicate and rebuild social connections after experiencing a TBI.
We are looking for individuals who are healthy (have never had a brain injury) to compare to individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to take part in a single online session.
All activities are done remotely—no in-person visits or travel are needed.
Detailed description of study
You’ll be asked to attend one online session that takes about 2 hours total.
- During the session, you'll complete a few short thinking and language activities
- You'll also answer questions about your social connections
- You will receive compensation for completing the session.
