Corroborating the controversial Bilingual Advantage hypothesis using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging

尽管COVID-19限制了研究，但越来越多的数据正在收集，以测试是否有证据证明有争议的双语优势假说，使用近红外光谱（NIRS）、口头流利性任务和表达性（英语）词汇测试相结合。到目前为止，我已经收集了6个参与者的数据，下周初还有两个参与者。此外，我还制定了用于在实际条件下收集数据的标准化协议，包括解决与设备维护、软件问题和参与者调度相关的潜在问题。

Despite COVID-19 restrictions to research, increasing data is being amassed to test whether there is evidence for the controversial bilingual advantage hypothesis using a combination of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a verbal fluency task, and an expressive (English) vocabulary test. I have managed to collect data from 6 participants so far, with two more scheduled for early next week. Additionally, I have standardized protocols for data collection in real-world conditions, including trouble-shooting potential problems associated with device maintenance, software issues, and participant scheduling.
