Righthanded adult subjects (age 18-35) with no history of neurological disorder/disease and no counter-indications to MRI. Native Dutch speakers with normal vision or contact lenses and a reasonable knowledge of English.
Potential participants will be prescreened for contra-indications for fMRI, which include metal implants, heart arrhythmia, claustrophobia, and possible pregnancy (in adult females). They will additionally be prescreened for head trauma, premature birth, learning disabilities, and history of neurological or psychiatric illness and/or use of psychotropic medications. Because language and bilingualism are the main interest of this study only native-Dutch speakers can participate. They need to have a reasonable knowledge of English and will be prescreened for any history in language disorders such as stuttering and dyslexia. Finally, left-handed individuals will be excluded from the study because some left-handers have substantially different brain organization relative to right-handers.
