We invite you to participate in a lab study where we will be looking at your neural activity during different computer tasks. The 2-hour lab visit will involve completing a survey and these computer tasks. During the computer tasks, we will measure your brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG). For this, we will ask you to wear a cap that contains recording disks filled with gel, and we will need to apply the gel on your scalp. This gel is water soluble and washes off completely and easily. The EEG will only record your neural activity, it will not transmit anything into your brain -- it is painless and completely safe.

​

You will receive $20 for participating in this part of the study (including the 30 minute questionnaire and 1.5 hour lab visit). You will then be followed over the course of your first-year at university to complete online questionnaires and/or lab visits. You are free to withdraw from the study at any time. 

 

To participate in this study you must have normal or corrected-to-normal vision. It is also necessary that you are able to comfortably answer fairly extensive questionnaires in English. We must have access to your scalp (e.g. remove wigs, hair pieces, etc.) and your hair must be dry. You must also be a U0 student at McGill (i.e., no CEGEP) and over 18.

 

Thank you very much -- without you our research would not be possible!
