You're of course aware of power and sample size considerations. With 20 participants, you'd need a pretty precise instrument or a very large effect size to get a useful answer, no?

I haven't done research in cognitive science. Do you have fine measures of important cognitive function? Is expecting a large effect realistic?

Very cool if you can get some useful data though!
