The UW Vision+Cognition Group is looking for video game players to participate in a research study on visual attention.
The UW Vision+Cognition Group is starting a new project on the effects of video games on visual attention. The study is 3 hours over 3 sessions on separate days. This project is still in piloting, so to work out the kinks we’re looking for enthusiastic participants who fit the following criteria:
1) “Hardcore” video game players who play video games (i.e = first-person shooters, RTS games) regularly over the past 6 months or more (please state your experience)
2) Non-video game players who have not played video games in the past 6 months
Participants are compensated $10/hour for their participation, for a total of $30 over the 3 sessions. Please reply if you are interested in participating in this study and tell your friends they are eligible as well. Participants will be doing tasks on a regular computer such as tracking an object around the screen, and will have their “attentional space” mapped to determine the range of their visual attention.
Please contact Jeffrey Lin at:
