Risks are minimal aside from potential discomfort from answering questions about past experiences. If you have any questions, please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Zoe Smith (Dr. Z; zsmith5@luc.edu).

 

Our research team at the Biological Rhythms Research Laboratory of Rush University Medical Center studies sleep patterns and the 24-hour (“circadian”) clock. Currently, we are conducting an NIH-funded study about the timing of bright light to reset the body clock of young adults to make it easier to sleep at an earlier clock time. The results of this study could be used to develop strategies for young adults who need to reset their body clock for things that require waking up early like classes and work. For more information on the study please visit here.

The Bilingualism and Psycholinguistics Research Group at Northwestern University (Evanston campus) is recruiting participants for an EEG study on language and cognition. We are interested in finding out how languages are represented in the mind. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a safe and non-invasive neuroimaging technique. We are recording the neural activity at the surface of the scalp as it naturally occurs in the brain. The testing session takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. For your time and effort, you will be compensated $15 per hour plus the cost of transportation. You may qualify if you are: Between the ages 18 to 35, right-handed and a Native English speaker who has no or minimum knowledge of another language. If this study is of interest to you, please contact researcher Dr. Ashley Chung-Fat-Yim at ashley.chungfatyim@northwestern.edu or 847-467-2709
