Arrival Day in Stockholm (June 19th)

After arriving in Stockholm we waited in the underground station while the professors sorted out our ticket "situation."  Professor R loves this word ... so it's become a staple in our vocabulary as well. ;)  Then we made our way to Mosebacke Hostel which was to be our 'cozy' abode for the week.

After Lunch, we went to the Stockholm University Linguistics Lab. Here we were treated with a tour of their facilities which included a smaller but still cool Anechoic chamber.  Then a demonstration of an EEG lab. The picture of the infant with the electrode cap on includes the same child that is now 9 years old. His father works in the lab so while he is not involved in a long-term study he does get to partake in "tests" of equipment and demonstrations for students.  Hey Lorri -- Notice his shirt!! ;)  As you would say, "GO DUCKS!!"  Apparently, the father works with U of O's linguistics labs as well. This was a cool demonstration as it allowed us to see the measures of brain waves when the participant is asked to complete different functions; i.e. blink his eyes, move his head, watch a movie.  It was fascinating!
