Are you interested in participating in a speech experiment at the University of Missouri? Are you within the age range of 18-89 years with normal or corrected to normal vision, normal hearing and no history of stroke, brain injury or neurological disease?

About the study:

The Neural Substrates of Speech and Timing Lab is seeking participants for research studies consisting of 1 visit lasting 1-2 hours, to be scheduled at your convenience. The study consists of a task where you will produce words or sentences. We will make audio recordings of your speech during these speech tasks. We will also ask you to wear headphones during the speaking task, so we can play back your voice or other sounds.

You may also complete some neuropsychological assessments of cognition, attention, speech, and movement.

You will be paid $15/hour for your participation in the project.  These studies take place at Lewis and Clark Halls at the University of Missouri.

If you are interested in participating, please visit mizzou.us/speechstudy to fill out a quick eligibility screening. You may also email speechtiming@health.missouri.edu if you have any questions about the study or visit our website to learn more about the lab.
