Ah, makes sense - thanks Reenie.

My name's Rob and I'm doing a Postdoc in the south of Ireland. The experiment is part of an extension of my PhD research in HCI/interface design. This research has to do with the visual perception of interface items, hence it has a heavy neuroscientific side (although that's not really obvious from the experiment itself). All you have to do in the experiment is basically navigate a Website to find a couple of items.

I'd better not discuss it in too much detail, lest I skew people's perspectives going into it but if anyone is interested, I'd be happy to discuss it more in other threads, or by private message.

There's no reason why not, as long as there aren't unusually strict NDAs that make it impossible to publish results. If it's good theoretically-solid research it shouldn't matter whether it's being carried out as part of some professional work or not (in fact some disciplines would see that as a plus in terms of guaranteed industrial relevance)

The main danger I would concern myself with would be juggling the need for rapid progress associated with your professional stakeholders with the need for sufficient procedural rigour for academic credibility. I don't know your domain well at all though, so maybe that's not as much of an issue as other areas.

Hi All,

It should take 2-4 minutes tops and would be really helping me out. It's also kind of fun in a weird sort of way.

Huge thanks to anyone who can spare the time,
Rob.
