We’re looking for participants for these unique, and quick, Building Studies to help us better understand ourselves – quite literally! We’ll be taking them down by end of month and could definitely use your help in the meantime, to broaden our understanding of how people take in their surroundings – in subliminal ways that most of us remain unaware of!

Anyone with a laptop or PC with webcam can sign in; on a Mac, link to it from Google Chrome or Firefox (and it’s best to do so in a quiet space with minimal distraction.)

Building Study–#4: Results should be out soon;

These Studies use state-of-the-art eye-tracking and facial-expression-analysis software from iMotions.com, a global purveyor of biometric tools for human behavioral research. Once on site, the studies direct you to eye-tracking calibration slides – where you simply focus on a shape as it moves across the screen – before image viewing begins. Studies takes about 4 minutes in total, and conclude with a brief series of calibration slides. It then takes a minute-or-two to upload your collected data.
