Emotional Speech Processing Research Study at UMN Looking for Participants

IRB approval: STUDY00016791
Title: Age-Related Hearing Loss and Neural Sensitivity to Emotional Prosody

We are looking for participants to take part in research investigating processing of emotional speech in the brain throughout the age spectrum. You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • are between the age of 18-80
  • have no history of neurologic disease, speech and language disorders, or brain injury
  • speak American English natively

Payment is $40 total for around two hours of participation.
Free parking is also provided next to our lab in Shevlin Hall.

This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for human subjects at the University. Even though the study has no direct benefit to you, its results will still provide useful insight into the perception of emotional speech and the impact of age-related hearing loss.

If you are interested in learning more about this study, please contact

Erica Kuntz (Research Assistant, ude.nmu|331ztnuk#ude.nmu|331ztnuk)

We provide free onsite parking next to the lab (within 30 feet walking distance).
