You are invited to take part in a research study on bilingual speech production. We use a brain imaging technique called MEG (magnetoencephalography), which passively records your brain activity while you perform a task. It is like an MRI but completely silent!
The study takes place at Macquarie University's MEG Brain Research Laboratory (1 of only 2 in the southern hemisphere!), located in the Australian Hearing Hub. The test session takes approximately 100 minutes, and you will receive $40 cash as a thank-you.
This study runs between August ~ October 2019.
Please ensure you satisfy the following criteria:
- Age: 18 to 39
- Right-handed
- Do not have any non-removable metal in your body (e.g. braces, fixed retainers, crowns, screws, hearing aid, etc)
- Must be highly proficient in both Mandarin and English
- Do not speak any other languages (e.g. Cantonese, French)
- Have spent at least 1/5 of your life in English-speaking countries
- First exposed to Mandarin before 6 years old
- If you have any formal training or experience in translation/interpreting, this must not exceed 1 year
We are happy to answer any questions. Please contact: [email protected]
