Adults (aged 18-59 years) are invited to participate in a paid, in-person study about how the nervous system responds to driving tasks in a driving simulator. Participants will be equipped with noninvasive, wearable equipment that will be used to relate task performance to physiological responses such as heart rate and brain activity.
The study will take place in the Psychology Building on the TTU campus. The study will be completed in a single session lasting 3 hours or less. Participants will receive $25 per hour for participating.
To participate you must:
- Be 18-59 years old
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be right handed
- Have normal vision or wear contacts that correct vision to normal
- Have normal hearing and motor control
- Have no history of neurological or vascular disorders
- Be willing and able to abstain from stimulant and depressant drugs for 12 hours before study session
- Possess a valid and unexpired driver’s license
- Be able to come to the study session without hair styling (e.g., no ponytails, braids, or extensions) or hair products (e.g., no hairspray, gel, or oil).
