We are recruiting healthy volunteers and people with Parkinson's disease (PD) of all ages to participate in a study involving a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. This study may contribute to improving the quality of life of those who are suffering from Parkinson's disease. We are trying to assess the therapeutic value of this stimulation technique in PD patients as compared to healthy volunteers. Initial participation in this study requires volunteers to attend four visits over the course of a month. You may also be selected to participate in additional experiments (up to 12 visits). Each visit lasts no longer than 3 hours. You will receive $30.00 in compensation for each visit that you attend. Complete initial participation in the first four visits pays $120.00. If you are interested in helping us with this study, please contact Ryan Eaton or Brian Coakley at Oregon Health & Science University.

D octor and author to discuss inequity in psychology by J aymee R. C uti T he P ortland O bserver A prestigious and pioneering A frican-A m erican psychologist brings to light the experiences of minorities in a field touted as being one of the last disciplines to em brace diversity. Dr. Robert V. Guthrie, author of “Even the Rat was White: A His torical Vie w of Psychology,” is vis iting Portland this week to speak about the historical contributions o f African-American psycholo gists. He says there's a need for more African American research in the field. “Psychology was very reluctant toembrace a lot of the issues affect ing people of color,” said Fred Miller, principal investigatorof the Alzheimer’s Disease Center. A ccording to M iller, the re search about A frican A m ericans frequently com pares people of color to C aucasians, and does not explore differences betw een more traditional African A m eri cans and those assim ilated into white culture. Scientific research often perpetuates cultural stereo-’ types. “If we make the argument that all blacks fit a certain category, then can create a problem because we are pigeonholing people,” said Miller. Guthrie will speak at the Cascade Dr. Robert V.
