Description:

We’re running a new fun, interactive study that explores how rewards influence attention and decision-making using the classic video game Tetris. To help you decide if you would like to participate, here is some information about the study: Task: Play Tetris and view stimuli related to the game of Tetris. Experience is not required at all Duration: One 2 hour long session Location: Elliott Hall at the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities (free parking available) Compensation: $60 preloaded Mastercard While you play Tetris, we will collect EEG (electroencephalography) and pupillometry data to help us understand what the brain is doing during the task. These methods are completely non-invasive; EEG simply requires a water soluble gel on your scalp for reading clear signals. If you’d like, you can rinse out your hair before you leave, there is a shower in the Elliott Hall bathroom with towels and shampoo available. Reach out to me at chish071@umn.edu if you're interested in participating!
