MIZZOU INFO 6/10/2026 - 6/16/2026

Have you experienced speech, language or reading challenges at any point in time (e.g., learning disability)? Do you find yourself having trouble keeping up in conversation or spoken lectures? Or do you read the same thing over and over and have trouble understanding what you read?

Dr. Larson from the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Mizzou is doing research on language in the brain. We are enrolling adults ages 18-40 with a history of speech, language or reading difficulty.

What’s involved? You’ll spend a few hours doing tasks involving language and problem-solving over Zoom, and you’ll receive a brain scan using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on the University of Missouri campus (1416 Carrie Francke Drive), lasting a total of 2-6 hours of your time.

You will be compensated up to $100 or via extra credit, and we can provide a formal report describing language and cognitive assessment performance.

Contact us for more information: (573) 882-2969 or llclab@missouri.edu.

Are you married or in a long-term cohabiting relationship for at least one year? Are both partners ages 45–64, overweight or obese and does at least one partner have type 2 diabetes? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a University of Missouri research study examining how couples’ daily routines—such as sleep and activity patterns—and relationship quality relate to cardiovascular health and everyday well-being.

Participation involves one or two in-person research visits at the University of Missouri, followed by a 20-day at-home period. During this time, both partners will wear a wrist device that measures sleep and activity and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn on the arm, complete brief smartphone-based surveys four times per day and return devices at the end of the study.

Each partner can earn up to $215 for full participation, for a total of up to $430 per couple.

Location: CTSU West, University Hospital, 5th Floor, 1 Hospital Dr, Columbia, MO 65201
