What is an EEG?
An electroencephalogram or EEG is a
recording of the electrical activity in a
person’s brain. By placing electrode
sensors on the scalp, we are able to
record this activity while participants
complete computerized tasks to find out
what kind of activity happens in different
parts of the brain when people complete
different tasks.
By conducting this study we
hope to gain a better
understanding of differences in
brain activity and sexuality so
that we can develop new and
effective treatments for those
with certain types of sexual
disorders.
Your Role as a Participant
 Attend one 2 hour session
 Fill out paper and pencil
questionnaires
 Complete computerized tasks while
undergoing an EEG recording
Why Are We Doing This Study?
People with sexual disorders often
respond differently to types of sexual
stimuli than others. We are conducting an
EEG study to try and observe the
differences in electrical brain activity
between individuals diagnosed with a
sexual disorder as they view images of
different types of sexual stimuli.
What Are We Doing?
We are recruiting participants to examine
the differences between individuals
diagnosed with a sexual disorder and
those without. Individuals will view
computer generated images while
undergoing an EEG recording.
