Double meson production of eta and pi mesons in the threshold region is investigated in order to determine chiral properties of the nucleon. The eta can be used as a probe for the negative parity nucleon N ∗ ≡ N ∗ (1535), produced in the intermediate state. The coupling of the low energy pion in the final state is then used to extract the sign of the Yukawa coupling, gπN∗N ∗ , which distinguishes the two realizations of chiral symmetry, naive and mirror, for the nucleon.
