How Electrical Stimulation Reshapes Our Ability to Juggle Multiple Tasks
02 May 2025
This experiment involves eye-tracking and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The experiment includes two parts: the first session lasts for 2 hours, and the second session (one week after the first session) lasts for 1 hour. You will receive £35 for completing both sessions.
Requirements
- Eligibility criteria (read carefully):
- 1. Native British English speakers, aged 18-35
- 2. Right-handed
- 3. Less than 3 years of musical training
- 4. No speech or hearing deficits, no neurological or psychiatric disorders (e.g., dyslexia)
- 5. No severe dry eyes
- 6. No extensive experience with degraded speech
- To ensure you are tDCS safe, you should NOT participate if you:
- • Have a history of epilepsy or seizures
- • Have any implanted metal or electronic devices (e.g., pacemakers)
- • Have a history of neurological or psychiatric disorders
- • Are pregnant
