With less-than-ideal strategic planning, I have arranged to run my experiment in the middle of the University’s inter-semester break. This has severely reduced the supply of undergraduate students wandering around the building waiting to be measured.

Would anyone out there like to be a research participant? The experiment takes about 45 minutes, and involves clicking on things with a mouse in the Special Research Annex of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, in the Erskine building (Maths and Computer Science). It requires some letter-rearranging and colour-distinguishing, so it may be unsuitable for people with a history of dyslexia or colour-blindness. You will get a keen plastic card. I’m told that the people at the Warehouse are unable to distinguish it from a ten-dollar note, and will accept it in exchange for items to that value.
