The NeuroListening Lab is located in the CMB building at hte corner of Guadalupe and Dean Keeton streets on the UT Austin campus
Participate in Research
We are currently looking for adults ages 18-70 to participate in studies examining how our brains process speech in challenging environments. You will receive a full hearing screening. You will listen to sentences while we measure how your pupil dilates during listening as a measure of listening effort. You will also wear an EEG cap, similar to a swim cap, with electrodes and gel while we record brain activity during listening. Participants are compensated for their time.
Join our lab!
