fMRI study on reading comprehension

Av Christian Renet Skapad: 2024-11-27

We are looking for healthy volunteers between 18-45 years of age. In the experiment, you will read brief stories and answer simple questions about them while we record your eye movements with a camera and your brain activation with the MRI scanner. You will answer the true/false questions by pressing buttons on a box you will be given to hold in the scanner. You need to be able to lie still for roughly an hour. The total time of the experiment will be around two hours, as we need to set up and calibrate the eye tracker, plus we ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire at the end. To participate, you must be healthy, not pregnant, and not have any metallic implants in your body. You also need to have sufficient English comprehension, as the stories and questions will be in English. Before participation, we will confirm all these matters via a phone call.

The compensation will be 6 gift cards worth 99 SEK each (594 SEK total). Additionally, if you choose to, you can participate in an additional experiment for which you need to stay in the scanner only 6 minutes longer and answer two brief questionnaires (around 5 minutes). The compensation for that extra experiment is two movie tickets.

These are the inclusion criteria for the study: Fluent in English; No intellectual disability, neurological disorder, medication, addiction diagnosis and/or psychiatric diagnosis; No bad eyesight that cannot be corrected by glasses or contacts; Not claustrophobic; Not pregnant; Safe for MRI
