We are looking for participants who take part in our research study investigating the neural
mechanism of the link between body and spatial perception. The experiment consists of three-day
sessions: psychological testing for 30 minutes held at Karolinska Institutet on day 1, fMRI testing
for 2.5 hours (including preparation) held at Stockholm University on day 2, and day 3. We will
compensate you with one cinema ticket for day 1 and 600 SEK (before tax) for your participation on
day 2 and day 3, respectively (1,200 SEK in total).
On day 1, we will assess your eligibility to proceed with the fMRI sessions. Please keep in mind
that we will have to decline your participation in fMRI sessions if you do not meet our
requirements.
Task
You will wear a head-mounted display that displays videos filming a mannequin's body receiving
tactile stimulation on its torso and legs using a stick. At the same time, you will receive the same
kind of tactile stimulation to your own body. After the stimulation, visual stimuli are presented on
the screen. You will have to respond to a button when a specific type of visual stimulus is
presented. This task will be performed while you are lying down on a bed in the testing room at
Karolinska Institutet on day 1, and inside the fMRI scanner at Stockholm University on days 2 and
3.
Who?
To participate, you must:
-be fully healthy, with no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, and no
neurodevelopmental disorders
not taking any medication that affects cognitive functioning
-be between the ages 18-40
-have normal vision or be corrected to normal with lenses or glasses
-not have any metal objects in or on your body
-not be pregnant
-not be claustrophobic (fear of small spaces)
-have a Swedish personal number
-understand and speak English
Where?
Day1: Karolinska Institutet, Solnavägen 9, 171 65 Solna (Biomedicum building)
Day2 & 3: The Stockholm University Brain Imaging Centre (SUBIC)
