Birthdate and Gender Identity Survey (BGIS)


How do demographics affect brain function and behavior?

Collecting demographic information is standard and critical for brain and behavior research. It provides data on who the research participants are and whether they are a representative sample of the target population. It also allows researchers to ask whether certain factors, like age and gender, may explain their study results. The Birthdate and Gender Identity Survey is a shortened version of the Demographics Survey in that it only asks for age and gender identity.
