Part 1

We are recruiting people for a confidential online screening survey of health and medical information. We are looking for healthy volunteers. The survey takes 15 minutes to complete, and covers:

Basic information, such as your age, height and weight;

  • Brief medical history;
  • Your mood and quality of life; and
  • Whether you can safely enter an MRI scanner.

You will not be paid for the online screening survey.

Part 2

If eligible, we will invite you to do one or more of the following:

  • Have your brain scanned in an MRI machine, with no injections or radiation (2 hour scan time, plus 1 hour preparation);
  • Answer questionnaires (20-30 minutes);
  • Perform physiological testing (1 hour);
  • Using a smart-phone we provide, each day, answer questions, take your blood pressure and do other tests at home (20 minutes/day for 6 weeks/ 42 tests);
  • Do a smart-phone based, stress reduction program (20-30 minute tests/day for 6-12 weeks/42-84 tests) or simple physical exercise (10 minutes/day) program for 6-12 weeks.

You will be compensated for each procedure you do ( scan $200; MRI physiological testing $100; home testing and programs up to $260). These procedures require visiting UCLA. Parking costs are covered. We will give UCLA you a copy of your brain images from the scanning. We may invite you MRI to do more procedures (follow-up surveys, sleep study), for which you will also be compensated.
