Description

This study investigates the lateralisation of language function using six different language tasks. Two methods for measuring lateralisation are compared: (1) functional transcranial doppler sonography (fTCD), and (2) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants are healthy neurotypical adults who attend two sessions: in the first they perform the six tasks with fTCD and in the second they perform the tasks with fMRI. This fMRI protocol is used in the second session.

During the MRI scan, noise cancelling headphones are used to minimise the scanner noise during the language tasks. A short BOLD scan is used before the task fMRI scans to train the noise cancelling software.

The protocol includes:

- localiser

- training fMRI scan (no task)

- fMRI scan, task 1

- fMRI scan, task 2

- fMRI scan, task 3

- B0 fieldmap

- T1w structural scan

- fMRI scan, task 4

- fMRI scan, task 5

- fMRI scan, task 6.

The total scan time is around 75 minutes.
