Volunteer for Maths Gene Project

University of Cambridge researchers in the Department of Experimental Psychology are recruiting participants for their maths gene project.

Do you and your sibling both have a Grade A at A Level Maths? The aim of this project is to find genes associated with mathematical ability.

The project comprises two phases. In Phase 1 you will be asked to complete an online maths test. This will take about 20 minutes. You will then be asked to invite your siblings to participate, if they also have a Grade A maths A Level. In Phase 2, you will be invited to donate a DNA sample via a simple, quick and non-invasive cheek swab.

All participants must be aged 16 years or over. This study has been approved by the University Ethics Committee, all information remains confidential, and in Phase 2, DNA will be stored anonymously. You may withdraw your participation at any time without having to give a reason.
