Please RT: I am looking to hire a research assistant to help recruit, schedule and run human participants in auditory perception experiments at MIT. Preferably full-time, but could be part-time. Ideal for someone looking to get more research experience in advance of grad school.

New research from @buslhs Faculty Elin Roverud and Virginia Best examines the influence of "stimulus properties" when using hearing aids. Read more in the latest issue of @ASA_JASA. pubs.aip.org/asa/jel/article…
Listening with hearing aids can cause sound externalization, whereby sound images are perceived at or inside the head instead of out in the world. This study examined the influence of stimulus properties on externalization. doi.org/10.1121/10.0028381 #acoustics @buslhs @BUSargent
