At the PoLaR Lab, we undertake extensive testing in the field of EEG (ElectroEncephaloGram). This involves measuring the brainwaves of participants and analysing these to detect how the brain processes various tasks.
We currently have an experiment in progress that looks into the Norwegian language. If you are interested, please read the information below and use the link provided if you meet the criteria.
*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION*
To participate in this study, you must be:
– a native speaker of Norwegian (i.e., exposed to Norwegian from birth)
– over the age of 18
About the experiment
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. You’ll feel little or no discomfort during an EEG.
You will first take a questionnaire about your language background. Then, you will take a simple sentence reading test using EEG. You will be compensated with 250 NOK after the experiment.
It is recommended that you shower after EEG testing to get rid of the gel on your hair. There is a shower space in the lab and we have everything prepared: shampoo, conditioner, towel, and a hair dryer.
Important information regarding the experiment
In order for the experiment to run smoothly, please make sure to wash your hair the night before the EEG, and don’t put any products (like sprays or gels) in your hair on the day of the test.
