Study Details

Dear participant,

 

We would like to invite you to a behavioural experiment involving performing a movement associated with a tactile feedback, and judging the length of the touch.

 

The study is divided into a preliminary phase (about ~15 min) involving training and a screening test, and a main phase (~90 min). Participants who do not meet an accuracy requirement at the screening test will not be able to take part in the main phase.

 

The study will last approx. 105-120 minutes and will be paid at 10 pounds per hour. The study takes place at 3 Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, WC1N 3AZ, London.

 

You should meet the following requirements to participate in the experiment:

 

REQUIREMENTS:

 

• aged between 18-45

 

• NO psychoactive medication (prescription drugs that affect the brain – please ask if you are unsure) or recreational drugs

 

• NO sensitive skin

 

• Get sufficient sleep (at least 6 hours/night) before the experiment

 

Thank you,

 

Tavishi and Antonio
