Need a brain break? Let me study yours!

By Students

Research Participants needed!

Dear Albion College students,

You are invited to participate in a research study looking at brain waves associated with trait resilience and memory. This research effort has been granted IRB approval, and you will be asked to consent to participate at the beginning of the experiment. This study will require 30 minutes of your time!

You will be asked a set of demographic questions, wear a headband to record your brain waves as you look at a set of pictures and listen to a narrative and memorize a series of words. Immediately after, your memory will be tested on these items.

If you would like to participate, please sign up for a time.

Thank you for your time,

Tori Balog
