Electroencephalography and behavioral studies of speech and sound perception
[CLOSED] Electroencephalography and behavioral studies of speech and sound perception
Western Interdisciplinary Research Building (WIRB)
Humans without hearing loss have the extraordinary ability to listen and understand speech or other sounds even when there is background noise. We are interested in understanding how the brain helps us make sense of sounds in complex listening situations.
Both male and female
17 years old to 35 years old
Healthy Volunteers
Who can participate in this study?
We are recruiting participants aged 17 to 35 without any hearing or neurological issues in the past.
What is involved?
Participants are asked to perform a behavioral test that assess hearing and cognition. During the test, participants listen to sounds and perform simple tasks, such as discriminating between sounds or detecting changes. During that time, we record their brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG; electrodes placed on scalp with electrolyte gel). EEG picks up the small electric signals at the scalp that come from the brain. The study takes about 2.5 hours to complete.
