Proposed study

• Vary these three factors within one study
• Acoustic detail, facial blurring, linguistic
  predictability
• Sparse scanning, 3X2X2 design (2,4,6 channels, 15
  and 45 levels of Gaussian blur, and low and high
  predictability), plus a severe blur/continuous
  noise condition.
• TR 9 seconds
• 260 trials in total, 20 sentences per condition,
  and 20 baseline trials - 2 blocks of 20 mins?
