Participants Needed for Study of Sensory Integration and Body Image in Anorexia Nervosa
Researchers in the lab of Dr. VS Ramachandran in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego are recruiting individuals ages 13-55 who are currently underweight and have a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.  We are studying how sensory integration relates to disturbances in body image.  The study involves 1 hour of behavioral testing on the main UCSD campus for $20, then (optional) about 3 hours of brain imaging (MEG and MRI) with tapping of clothed body parts at an imaging center near campus, paid $20 per hour.  For more information or to inquire about participation please email Laura Case at the Center for Brain and Cognition, UCSD: lkcase@ucsd.edu.
