What will you be asked to do?
You would come to the lab in Tobin Hall for a one-time visit. During your

will be recorded by a cap of electrodes that will be placed on your head.

for participants willing to wear doubled surgical masks are open.
How would you be compensated?
You would receive $12 per hour, rounded to the nearest half of an hour. The
