Research Participants required
-----------
Researchers at the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at The University of Melbourne are looking for volunteers for a study looking at the neuroscience of reward learning and decision-making. Participants need to be between 18 and 35 and right-handed, with no history of epilepsy, migraine, or any neurological illness.
The experiment investigates the neural processing that takes place when people learn from rewarding feedback. To investigate this question, participants will complete a task in which they have to make a series of decisions regarding a changing visual stimulus. Learning from reward is a crucial component of learning, and is involved in many of the decisions we make every day.
The experiment takes place in the Redmond Barry Building at The University of Melbourne, Parkville. If you’re interested, you can complete an electroencephalography (EEG) study (1 hour 45 minutes), which also involves taking measurements of brain activity using an electrode cap, and completing some questionnaires.

You will receive $20 for the EEG study, and will have the chance to increase this amount to a maximum of $30 depending on task performance.

For more information or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Karen Sasmita at decision.neuro.melb@gmail.com

The study is conducted by researchers at The University of Melbourne in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Services, and approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of The University of Melbourne (project no. 1339694.2).

We are looking for volunteers for a study looking at the underlying brain mechanisms of simple categorical choices. Participants need to be between 18 and 35 and right-handed, with no history of epilepsy, migraine, or any neurological illness.

For this study, participants will complete a computer-based task during which they have to make a series of simple choices between two different visual stimuli. During this task, brain activity will be recorded via electroencephalography (EEG). This technique is non-invasive and completely harmless.

The experiment should take no longer than 75 minutes to complete and consists of a single session taking place at the University of Melbourne Parkville Campus, in the EEG laboratory on the 4th floor of the Redmond-Barry Building. Participants will be remunerated $20 for participating in the task. For more information or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Maia Tarrell at decision.neuro.melb@gmail.com
