Research

  • Language Experience and the Brain

    We are looking for:

    • Individuals who identify as European-Americans or Mexican-Americans

    • Individuals who speak only English (18 - 25 years old) if you are European-American

    • Individuals who are bilinguals (18-25 years old) who speak English and Spanish

    • Individuals with no history of hearing or neurological disorders

     

    As part of the study, we will record brainwaves from sensors placed on your head, and we will ask you to wear a digital audio recorder for two days.

     

    There are 2 brain assessment sessions (up to 3 hours each). Participation in this study require at least one-week of commitment.

     

    This study will be performed on the University of Connecticut Storrs campus.

     

    Eligible subjects can receive up to $70 in Amazon gift cards for participation.
