You must participate in two hours of experimental credit for cogs 101b. Have the experimenter email the class TA with confirmation that you participated. If you are in another class consult your instructor for their experimental credit requirements and how to confirm that you participated in an experiment.
Participate in an experiment studying binocular rivalry for
approximately 30 minutes and receive $5 for your time (or course credit)!
Participants must
be native English speakers, and they must experience the McGurk effect
(most people do, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Subjects needed for a visual illusion experiment. Your task is to view visual
illusions
and judge their strength. Time commitment: 20-30 minutes for 1 hour of
experimental
credit. Experiment can be repeated on separate days if you need the credit.
Requirement: normal or corrected to normal vision.

To participate in a language processing study and receive 1 hour of
experiment credit, email Jenny at jcollins@cogsci.ucsd.edu.
Participants will answer a series of questions about their
impressions of various word. Native English speakers.
Subjects needed for an fMRI experiment looking at visual and
somatosensory processing.
Subjects must be right-handed, neurologically intact, *no metal in
their body* (fillings are OK, but no braces, no metal implants, no
jewelry that can't be removed, etc.), and must be able to hold still
in the MRI scanner. No claustrophobia.
The experiment involves five or six 9-minute scans during which a task is
performed, and two 9-minute scans during which they only lie still,
doing nothing - the latter are "structural" scans that show a
high-resolution image of the subject's brain. Subjects can get free
brain pictures. The task involves touching LEGO bricks with the right
hand to determine the location or number of targets present.
Training on the task happens before the scan (1/2 hour); with setup etc.,
outside the scanner, I can give you credit for about 3 hours of experimental
participation, although actual scanning time will be around 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
We can also do the two high-resolution structural scans in a separate 1/2
hour session, a couple of days before the experiment/ task.
Note that you can get class credit for more than one class if all that's
required is 2 hours experimental credit per class.

Brainwave study: See your brainwaves! Takes 2-2.5 hours -- you'll get
combination of credit and $ for extra time. Can schedule during daytime,
evenings or weekends.
Requirements: Right handed, no learning, mental or neurological
disorders. English must be the ONLY language you were exposed to as a
child. Email Arielle if not sure about any of the requirements.
Contact Arielle at aborovsk@ucsd.edu for more information.
Storytelling Project
Description: This observational study involves telling stories to another
participant and listening while you have stories told to you. (In order
to participate, you must be willing to have your storytelling activities
videotaped). The study also involves filling out some brief
questionnaires. 1 hour.
Requirements: Native speaker of English (need not be monolingual).

Anna: I am seeking native English speaking adults for an ERP experiment. Three
hours of credit are available. Testing is held at the Lab for Research
on Aging and Development, which is in the office complex behind rock
bottom. I take subjects for evening and Saturday hours, if requested.
Subjects participate in a task-switching follow up study, sorting simple
stimuli by shape or color. This is done while capped in a session taking
1.5 hours. An additional, on hour session is purely behavioral, and
involves some simple memory control tests and inhibition tasks.
They can email (aeholt@ucsd.edu) me or ask me during class to sign up.
We have a couple 2 hour FMRI studies for which we can give your students 2
hours of experimental credit or $25. Here's a brief description:
The laboratory of Dr. Joan Stiles is conducting FMRI studies at the UCSD
Center for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (on campus at the School
of Medicine). Participants will be asked to make decisions about pictures
of faces, shapes or objects during an MRI and will receive either 2 hours
of experimental credit or $25, plus pictures of their brain. Please see our
website for full eligibility criteria and available appointment times.

Study contact: Janet Shin - jshin@ucsd.edu or 858-822-0798
The experiment lasts about 2 hours. For a portion of that time, each
subject views some definitions and words on a computer screen and responds
with buttons while having their EEG recorded. They will also be asked to
fill out some questionnaires and do a couple of other activities.
The requirements are they they be a right handed, native English speaker
with no history of neuropsychiatric disorders. Anyone interested is
welcome to contact me for more information.

Brainwave Experiment: Watch short video segments and look at pictures
while we record your brainwaves. The experiment lasts from 2 to 2.5
hours. We will award academic credit, or a cash/academic credit combo as
needed (we pay $8 per hour). Time slots are flexible and can be selected
around your schedule.
Requirements: To participate, you must be a right-handed, monolingual
native English speaker without significant hearing impediment.
If you are interested, please send e-mail to Ying at ywu@cogsci.ucsd.edu,
or call (858) 869-7014.
The experiment lasts about 2 hours. For a first part of the experiment, each
subject will fill out some
questionnaires and do some memory tests. In a second part, each subject will
be asked to inspect
pictures and read sentences. The task is to decide whether or not picture
and sentence match.
The requirements are that participants be right handed, native English
speakers (not bilingual)
with no history of neuropsychiatric disorders. Anyone interested is welcome
to contact me for more
information.
