involves recording electrical activity generated in your brain, while you read words on a computer screen and give responses to them. In order to record your brain's electrical activity, we will place a special cap with recording sensors on your head. We will also place small amounts of water-soluble gel on your scalp. Some gel may be visible in your hair after we are done; the gel washes out with water. The entire experiment will take about 80-90 minutes from the time you arrive.
