Action Observation and Touch Processing Study

Action Observation and Touch Processing Study

 

Participants Needed

 

You are invited to participate in an IN-PERSON research study conducted by the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto examining action observation and touch processing. In this experiment you will be presented with videos of reaching and grasping movements and asked to detect weak touch sensations on your hand.

 

Are you:

1) between 18 – 40 years of age, and

 

2) have normal vision or corrected-to-normal vision, and

 

3) free from major neurological conditions

 

You may qualify to participate in this study. You will be compensated $15 for a 1-hour experiment. This will be in the form of cash. The risks associated with participation in this study are very minimal and will be explained to you on first contact with the experimenter. At the same time, we will ask some questions to confirm your eligibility.

 

Note: COVID-19 safety procedures will be implemented at all times (e.g., masks, social distancing, etc.) and you will be asked to complete a COVID-19 screening questionnaire. More details will be relayed upon first contact.
