Description:

Join us for a hands-on game of Stall Catchers to support Alzheimer's research! You'll have the chance to meet the project scientist, learn how to play, and collaborate with participants from across the country to help scientists analyze data more quickly. Everyone is welcome to join a live Zoom session with the research team and then play the game together. You can classify vessel flow (whether it's flowing or stalled) using your computer or smartphone. Feel free to arrive anytime between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to assist researchers in their efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

Stall Catchers is an online game that anyone can play, and no prior experience is necessary. In the game, you will watch videos of mouse brains and identify whether the blood vessels are flowing or stalled. This activity helps accelerate Alzheimer's disease research at Cornell University.

Creating a free account on SciStarter.org will allow you to track your participation in Stall Catchers and other Neighborhood Science projects.
