Background & Aims language processing visuo-spatial processing SL processing streams?
Stimuli & Design • 2 tasks: hand shape & location • 2 runs, separate list and task for each • stimuli not repeated across lists • within list each sign presented twice • order randomized across subjects
Proposal Slide • 4 Groups (15 subjects each) • deaf native BSL • deaf non-signers • deaf native SSL • hearing non-signers • two 19 min runs • mixed design • jittered ISI (3 - 6s, mean = 4.5s) • Whole brain coverage (3x3x3 mm) • TR = 3s, TE = 50ms • analysis (SPM8) • standard fMRI analyses (1st- & 2nd-level)
