A study into the effects of sex hormones on cognitive tasks
I am currently undertaking my psychology Masters Dissertation project, into the effects of sex hormones on a number of cognitive tasks on facial emotion processing.
The experiment involves 4 short computer-based tasks and is located in the psychology department in Durham University. I need both males and females aged between 21 and 35. The study requires people to come in to take part in two 30-40 min sessions approximately 14 days apart.
There are special requirements for the Women in this study, so if you are interested then we discuss them privately to see if you are suitable for the study.
For participating in the study people will be entered in a competition for vouchers with the winner receiving £50, 2nd + 3rd receiving £20 and 4th place receives £10.
People willing to participate in my study can contact me by email (William.enever@durham.ac.uk) or mobile (07972050573).
