About the application:

Stall Catchers is an online mini game that anyone can play - no experience important. In the mini game, you look at films from the brains of mice and test to identify vessels as flowing or stalled. This helps to speed up Alzheimer's illness research at Cornell University. Stall Catchers is part of the EyesOnALZ project. The mini game was built on one of the oldest volunteer thinking projects: stardust@home, and is using the Virtual Microscope developed by their squad. Who knew stardust and blood vessels should be so similar? Currently, our catchers range from 6 to 88 years old. A really big part of our community contains middle school students, seniors, caregivers and Alzheimer’s patients themselves. The mini game is simple to grasp, and we walk you through in the beginning. Check out the 'How to' section in the main menu if you need assist at any time. Don't worry about making mistakes - each blood vessel is analysed by multiple catchers, and we ensure we generate reliable crowd answers in the end. EyesOnALZ is a citizen science project developed by the Human Computation Institute. The project enables everyone to contribute to Alzheimer’s illness research and speed up the find for a treatment. Our first citizen science mini game - Stall Catchers - was launched in October 2016 and now gathers thousands of volunteers. The idea was born in 2015, when by a lucky coincidence, Pietro Michelucci met Chris Schaffer, whose lab was in need of citizen scientists’ assist. The project was funded by the BrightFocus Foundation and officially began in early 2016. EyesOnALZ contains collaborators from the Schaffer-Nishimura Lab at Cornell University, stardust@home squad at U.C. Berkeley and SciStarter.com. Previous collaborators contain Sebastian Seung’s Laboratory at Princeton University, WiredDifferently and others. EyesOnALZ and Stall Catchers are being developed by the Human Computation Institute, and supported by a squad of collaborators, advisors and volunteers from Cornell University, UC Berkeley, SciStarter, and elsewhere worldwide. The EyesOnALZ Android device apk is being developed for Human Computation Institute in partnership with Mini games For Health Europe by Mini game Solutions Lab. EyesOnALZ is supported by the BrightFocus foundation and its generous donors. Learn more about their Alzheimer's Illness Research Tool.
