You will undergo a scanning session and complete a cognitive and (if you are a non-native speaker of English) an English proficiency task. You will also be asked to fill out a Language Background Questionnaire before the scanning day.<\/p>\n<p><em>How long will it take?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The MRI scan lasts about 60 minutes, and the whole session will last about two hours.<\/p>\n<p>You will receive a contribution payment of \u00a320 towards travel expenses and\/or compensation for your time spent with us.
