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
