Take part in an experiment

I'm posting an email message here from a colleague looking for help from any of University of Sunderland readers:

PARTICIPANTS SOUGHT:

For PhD research in media arts using affective computing, we need participants who can give 20 minutes of their time.

What:
You will be asked to listen to the Sentic Cycles by Manfred Clynes. In short, this is a 15 minutes sound sequence where the participant is asked to feel various emotions.

During this cycle, we will capture your heart rate and GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) in a non-invasive way and use this data to train a classifier which will be used in an artwork.

When:

• Wed the 1st of April 2009 between 2-4 pm, or
• Thursday the 2nd of April between 6-8 pm, or
• Friday the 3rd of April between 10 and 12 am.

Where:
University of Sunderland, St Peters Campus, The Media Centre, room 139, studio 4

If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact Adinda van ‘t Klooster on adinda_18@hotmail.com
