Prof. Sylvie Hébert’s Audition lab is currently looking for native French speakers to take part in a study on emotional modulation of the startle reflex.
1) You are between 18 to 30 years old, or between 55 to 70 years old ?
2) You are in good health physically and mentally ?
3) You have good hearing capacities (no tinnitus, no hearing aid, etc.) ?
We are currently studying the emotional modulation of the startle reflex in the Quebec native french population. The study includes a hearing test of both ears and a task measuring the startle reflex following the presentation of some sounds in combination with pictures with an emotional content. To do so, 3 electrodes will be placed under the eyes and the muscle contraction will be recorded. The experience will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. All the procedures take place at the BRAMS Laboratory (Université de Montréal), 1430 boul. Mont Royal, Suite 0-120, Outremont.
