General

  • Duration: Max 2 hours
  • Compensation: 30€
  • About the study: In this study, we investigate the neural mechanisms involved in speech comprehension under varying background noise conditions. The insights gained contribute to the improvement of hearing aids and cochlear implants.
  • About EEG: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a completely risk-free method for measuring electrical brain activity via the scalp. Contact gel is used to ensure good signal quality.The gel can be washed out on-site with shampoo.

  • About the study: Two people take part in the experiment at the same time. During the study, you will have conversations about pictures that are shown to you. While doing so, we measure your electrical brain activity (EEG), speech muscle activity (EMG), and eye movements. All measurements are non-invasive.
