Research Participants required

Researchers at the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at The University of Melbourne are looking for volunteers for an experiment looking at the neuroscience of reward learning and decision making. Participants need to be between 18 and 35 and must speak and read English fluently.

The experiment investigates how people gather information during decision-making under uncertainty. To investigate this question, participants will complete a task in which they have to make a series of decisions regarding the probabilities of future events. Gathering information is a crucial component of decision-making, and is involved in many of the decisions we make every day. The experiment will consist of one session, lasting approximately one hour and thirty minutes. The experiment takes place in the Redmond Barry Building at The University of Melbourne, Parkville.

Depending on your performance in the task, you will receive a one-off monetary reimbursement between $10 - $25 for participation in the study. For more information, please contact Daniel Bennett 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. 1341084.1).
