Effects of Spatial Attention on Visual Processing
Lab Study (2.11 - Second Floor), Liverpool John Moores University, Tom Reilly Building, Byrom St, Liverpool, L3 3AF
Are you interested in taking part in a research project that aims to understand how the brain processes visual information when attention is directed to different locations?
We are looking to recruit participants for a study that examines brain activity associated with visual attention, using EEG (electroencephalography).
Book to take part in this study
Who can take part in this study?
To take part in this study you must meet the following criteria.
- You are an adult aged 18 or older.
- You have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
- You do not have a history of epilepsy or migraines.
- You do not feel uncomfortable answering questions about your mood, anxiety, or mental health.
What will the study involve?
If you decide to participate, we will invite you to our lab in Tom Reilly Building. During the session, you'll be fitted with an EEG (electroencephalography) cap, which measures electrical activity in the brain. To ensure good signal quality, we apply conductive gel between the cap and your scalp. This is completely safe and painless, but it does mean your hair will feel greasy or wet afterwards. You may want to plan to wash your hair after the session, and you're very welcome to use our shower facilities (you may find it helpful to bring a hairbrush).
You will also complete a period of resting-state EEG recording and a set of questionnaires. The session will take approximately 2.5 hours in total.
What are the benefits of participating?
At the end of the study, you will receive an Amazon voucher worth £20. You will also be contributing to a large international research collaboration called EEGManyLabs, which aims to improve the reliability and trustworthiness of findings in brain research.
