The MEG lab (at Dell Children's Hospital) is recruiting research participants for $15/hr.

The participant will listen to auditory stimuli (a beeping sound and a sample of an audio book) and see a visual stimulus on a display screen.

Brain activity will be measured by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) simultaneously.

Please contact me via email if you think that you might be a qualifying participant.
