Researchers at the University of Queensland are seeking healthy participants for a study on music and speech processing. The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of how music listening after a stroke may stimulate speech and language recovery.
They would love to hear from you if you meet the following criteria:
- 55-65 years old
- English is your first language
- No history of neurological disease, mental illness, or head trauma
- No metals present in the body which would be unsafe in an MRI scanner
Where: In person at the Herston Imaging Research Facility (HIRF), Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Brisbane
What will it involve:
- An MRI brain scan while completing music and word listening tasks,
- Brief music, cognitive, and language assessments.
The study will take about 2-3 hours to complete, and you will receive $30 for your time and effort.
This project has been reviewed by the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee, and was found to meet the National Health and Medical Research Council’s code of conduct for human research (HREC Approval number: HREC/2018/QRBW/43699).
