Learning structures, an online and fMRI study
25 April 2024
We are looking for volunteers to participate in a decision-making study online and potentially in the fMRI scanner. You will complete:
1) A computer game and some questionnaires online (approx 1 and a half hour)
and depending on your performance on the task,
2) Play a very similar computer game in the fMRI scanner (1.5 hrs in scanner + 15 minutes for setup and debriefing)
Anyone 18-40 can take part, without psychiatric or neurological diagnosis, or claustrophobia.
Requirements
- We are looking for people who:
- Do not have a history of psychiatric or neurological disease/injury
- Are aged between 18-40 years old
- Are fluent in written and spoken English
- Have normal/corrected to normal vision.
- The experiment might involve being in the fMRI scanner. Because of the nature of the experiment, the following people WILL NOT be able to take part:
- Have metal anywhere in the body e.g. implants such as pacemakers or any sort of dental work with metal( i.e. braces, permanent retainers, etc. )
- Have tattoos less than 6 weeks old
- Have a fear of small and confined spaces
- All the participants also need to be registered with a UK based GP in order to take part at the study.
