Touch FX Study

We are looking for volunteers with full mutation fragile X syndrome (aged 3-45) to join our study that aims to better understand sensitivity to touch. We hope that this study will help to develop an objective measure of tactile impairments in order to aid the development of appropriate treatments. We are also recruiting a comparison group of people who don’t have a neurodevelopmental condition to complete the same assessments.

Taking part involves filling in some questionnaires and having an EEG whilst holding a device that will deliver tactile stimulation to the fingertips. We will also measure your heart rate activity and blood pressure. You do not have to be able to do all of these to take part – any information they can gather is helpful.

If you sign up to take part on either side of this conference, then travel expenses and one night's overnight accommodation will be covered.
