Participants required for research - Tuesdays and Thursdays - Denmark Hill


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


My name is Martin, and I'm a research assistant at Kings College, Denmark Hill. I'm currently recruiting volunteers for a study looking at different patterns of brain activity between people who meditate and people who don't. Right now I'm looking for control participants (i.e. people who DON'T meditate) to take part. You only need to be right handed and available for a couple of hours on either a Tuesday or a Thursday, though unfortunately due to the equipment we use I cannot test people with dreadlocks or afro hairstyles, sorry!


The study involves the use of EEG, a completely non-invasive and painless procedure that allows us to record brain activity through the scalp. It involves wearing a cap with some electrodes attached to it and the application of a small amount of gel (which can easily be washed out).


If you are interested in helping out with scientific research (and also seeing what your brain looks like when it is thinking!)or would like to know more please get in touch either by replying to this post, or emailing me at [email protected]. To sweeten the deal I can also compensate you ?15 for your time.


Thanks!


Martin

    • Not fair on the patients or the consultants, either. 
    • These very anti social fireworks went on for at least fifteen years and were unbearable for both humans and pets.    Was extremely relieved that they moved a couple of years ago.  Never experienced such close proximity loud fireworks before.   But the ones that go off in the middle of the night are also very upsetting and annoying.  
    • Not they've gone. Everything has been ripped out. No sign of anyone new yet. 
    • The frequency of fireworks seems to be increasing. If revellers selected the low noise variety that would help, but the trend seems to be the louder the better. I do not think sensitivity to stimuli is the same as timidity. Unexpected, extremely loud bangs and unusual noises will startle most of us. Humans, unlike other animals, have the luxury of knowing what fireworks are and what the noise represents. Some animals do learn to cope but many do not. It could be their hearing is not as sensitive. We should not forget that many animals, including cats and dogs have hearing that is much more developed than ours.
