Research Participants Needed: Understanding Brain Signatures for Approval Using fNIRS

We are looking for participants who are willing to participate in an experiment involving preference evaluations. A portion of the experiment will involve preference evaluation of beverages and another portion will involve preference evaluation of some engineering requirements. During the experimental session, participant brain activity will be recorded with the help of a special cap containing sources and detectors (fNIRS cap, similar to EEG but faster and cleaner). This method has been safely used with infants, children, and adults.

Participants must be:

· At least 18 years of age

· Right-handed

· No neurological disorders such as autism, seizures, or cerebral palsy

· Can be either monolingual or bilingual. However, if bilingual, English must be the primary language

· Able to consume water, apple juice, and ginger ale

The experiment consists of a session lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. Additionally, participants’ heads will be measured with a flexible measuring tape prior to the session (to ensure the appropriately sized cap is prepared). Upon completion, participants will be paid at a rate of $15 per hour. Participation in this study is completely voluntary and volunteers can withdraw from the study at any time.

Experimental sessions may be scheduled now with timeslots available between 7am and 9pm, and will be filled as needed. The experiment will take place in HERL 44 at Purdue University (177 S Russell St., West Lafayette, IN 47907).

If you are interested in participating, please email Jake Hunter at purduebrain@gmail.com and you will be contacted to confirm your participation.
