Earn £15: participate in a study on sensory information and motor function control
21 April 2016
The aim of this research is to understand how sensory information received by the brain may be used to control our motor functions.
You will feel a sensation but it will not be painful. While you undertake this task researchers will record your brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG). This involves placing small electrodes (wires) on your scalp and recording electrical activity from the brain.
