Body and mind-for money

In this past week one of my light minded friends inform me that he was part of a study that one of the Universities was having. I asked him why?, he then told me that he was being paying $500 for a few hours of his time. So I decided to do some research on this subject, OK boys and girls here is my findings.

It is one of the easiest ways to receive extra money without hard work. You can actually participate in research studies hosted by your local university. You see my friends, scientists and pharmaceutical companies are in constant need of volunteers for research. There are actually individuals that are making a living this way.

If you sign up, these gigs can land you anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars for using your body and mind. There are two main options when it comes to research-observational studies and clinical trials.

Observational studies are used to add to the world's current medical knowledge, the type that you see that are typically advertised by local universities. Depending on what kind of study you may sign up for, you might need to belong to a certain demographic on have a certain medical condition or even some specific genetic trait, there are some studies that have stricter guidelines than others.

For example, to get that body and mind money, some studies just may ask for females aged 25-65, while others may ask for males aged 21-35 who have smoked at least 10 cigarettes a day over the past year. Let us consider the following example. A researcher might be attempting to determine what happens to the brain waves when you drink coffee before you go to bed. (This is a real research that was done that gave money for individuals body and mind).

The researcher gets a group of 100 people, divides them into two subgroups and then give one of the group regular coffee and the other decaffeinated. All the subjects then attempt to sleep while they are connected to monitors, and the researcher collects the data.

By doing this study, the researcher hopes to paint a better picture for other scientists and doctors of how our body reacts to coffee before we all go to bed. However, other examples of observational studies could or may be virtual reality and touch response, or simply filling out a survey regarding your impressions of certain advertisements, as my girlfriend did when she was attending college.

Usually, simple tests like surveys will land volunteers a few dollars, or a more involved study will land hundreds of dollars. Now for the biggest payouts, for your body and mind, you might end up lying in a bed 70 days like a few individuals did for NASA, in which case they made $18,000. It probably goes without saying that the more money you are paid, the most time your body and mind may be require or the higher the potential risk to your health.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, BY NO MEANS AM I SUGGESTION FOR ANYONE TO MAKE MONEY THIS WAY. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING.

Interesting way to make money. When I was in college, I participated in one research project, and they gave me $30 for about an hour and a half, and I basically didn't have to do anything. This was in the '90s, so that would be more now. Something to think about. Thanks for the pointer.

This sounds like a fantastic way to earn a few extra dollars. Jim
