Male Identified Students Needed for Brain Study
Researchers at Ball State University are seeking participants for a study examining brain activity in response to emotional facial expressions. This study has been approved by the Ball State University Institutional Review Board and involves the use of EEG (electroencephalogram) technology during a computerized task.
Eligible participants must identify as male, be undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 59, be native English speakers, and have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
If you are interested in participating in the study contact Qianhan Xiong at qxiong@bsu.edu.
Learn Chinese!
CH101 is an introductory course designed for beginners with no prior experience in Chinese. Students will develop a foundational understanding of the Chinese language and gain insights into Chinese culture. By the end of the course, learners will be able to engage in basic daily conversations, including topics such as personal introductions, family, food, prices, and hobbies.
