Volunteers are needed to participate in research study at The University of Connecticut investigating how the brain processes sound. Participants will listen to sounds and make decisions about them.
As part of the study, we will record brainwaves from sensors placed on your head while you hear different sounds. We will also measure brain structure using MRI. MRI allows us to take detailed pictures of your brain and does not involve radiation.
There will be 3-4 sessions (average of 7-8 hours total). Sessions will take place on the University of Connecticut (Storrs) campus with an option for one virtual/remote session. Scheduling is flexible. Participants will receive payment ($10/hr) at the end of the study and will receive a hearing test and picture of their brain.
To be eligible, you must:
- Be between 18-70 years old
- Speak English and Spanish
- Have no history of a hearing or neurological disorder
