What affects your perception of sound? fMRI Study
University College London, GB
This study will involve:
- A hearing test;
- A 30 minute computer task, in which you will be presented a series of ‘trials’. Each trial is a few seconds long, and involves listening to a series of audio tones through headphones, and seeing a visual cue. You will subsequently be presented...- 150 Min(s) to complete

Eye-tracking Study: Exploring Listening Effort in Speech Perception
University College London, GB
You will listen to acoustically degraded sentences in the experiment. After listening to each sentence, you will need to repeat what you heard aloud. While listening to the sentences, your pupil dilation will be recorded using an eye tracker. Additionally, you will undergo a hearing threshold...
