Eye-tracking Study: Exploring Listening Effort in Speech Perception
23 August 2024
You will listen to acoustically degraded sentences in the experiment. After listening to each sentence, you will need to repeat what you heard aloud. While listening to the sentences, your pupil dilation will be recorded using an eye tracker. Additionally, you will undergo a hearing threshold test and a cognitive test as part of the experiment. The entire experiment will last approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, and you will receive a £12 Amazon voucher.
