The University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL)
invites students at the University of Maryland to participate in a new study
in 2011. The study investigates the relationship between a person's brain
waves as detected by EEG (electroencephalography) and verbal creative
problem solving ability. Simple cognitive and language tasks will be
administered in addition to the use of EEG.

English was the first and only language spoken at home until at least age
five), right-handed, between 18 and 60 years of age, hold US citizenship,
have good reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills in English, and
have normal or corrected-to-normal vision (eyeglasses and contact lenses are
fine).
Research participants should NOT have any of the following: personal or
family history of seizures, history of neurological and psychological
disorders, or learning disabilities.
Compensation: $20 per hour for 1 hour. Research center is off campus at 7005
52nd Avenue, College Park, MD. Free parking at research center and metro
