Summer 2011 - New Projects at the LABlab

The Language and Brain Lab has a number of projects launching this summer, including a new branch of the The Processing and Learning of Pitch in Speech project, studying the differences in tone perception between musicians and non-musicians using EEG, as well as the Audio-Visual Accent project, led by Saya Kawase (MA student).

If you would like to participate in either of these studies as a subject, visit the Participants Needed section of the LABlab site to see if you qualify. We need lots of participants, so don't be shy - email us today for more information.

Participants receive $10/hour, with our gratitude for your participation in furthering language research!
