Participants wanted (those who rarely remember dreams): In-person study of dreaming, attention, & anxiety
Do you rarely remember your dreams? Would you like to earn £5 and help us understand why that is the case?
You are invited to participate in a study about dreaming, attention, and anxiety, conducted as part of my (Sofiia Dabizha’s) MSc research project in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews. During a 1-hour-long in-person session, you will be asked to complete (a) a questionnaire about your dreaming habits and feelings of anxiety, and (b) 2 musical attention tasks, during one of which your brain activity will be recorded with a brain-sensing headband. Please note that you will NOT be asked to share the contents of your dreams or worries.
To participate, you must be an adult (16+ y.o.) student or staff member at the University of St Andrews and have…
- no known neurological or psychiatric disorders
- normal hearing
- normal or corrected-to-normal vision
- history of less than 1 year of musical instrument/singing practice outside of compulsory education programmes

- never recall their dreams
