Stall Catchers is an online citizen science project developed by the Human Computation Institute in partnership with researchers at Cornell University. It allows anyone to contribute to Alzheimer's disease research by analyzing real data from the lab. Volunteers help identify "stalls" blocked blood vessels in the brain, which scientists believe may be linked to the progression of Alzheimer's. By crowdsourcing this task, Stall Catchers accelerates the pace of discovery and helps researchers test potential treatments more quickly.
