University of Nottingham research participants offered voucher of £30 & travel up to £60

LoTUS study (Learning and Breaking Habits in Tourette Syndrome)
      
• If you join in, you will play a fun computer game in two sessions, held on consecutive days. It will help us find out more about how well children learn and keep new habits.
• This will provide valuable new information about the brain mechanisms that underlie the development of tics.
• The computer game involves moving a racing car towards a chequered flag. You have lots of turns to get used to the game, but the car might disappear so you have to learn what to do then!
• We will ask you to do some simple activities to help us find out more about how the brain controls our movements.
• We will also ask you and your parent to complete some questionnaires.

Each session should last no longer than 2 hours and will take place at the University of Nottingham either in the School of Psychology, University Park or at the Institute of Mental Health, Jubilee campus.  You will receive a shopping voucher for the value of £30 on completion of the study and travel expenses up to £60  are available.
