[UG/MS] Research study recruitment

The following announcement is from [HaRVI Lab]. Please contact them directly if you have any questions.

The HaRVI (Haptics Robotics and Virtual Interaction) lab is conducting an IRB-approved user study to explore how sub-threshold (imperceptible) electrical stimuli (stochastic resonance) applied to the base of the non-dominant palm affect tactile texture discrimination and identification. We would like to invite you to participate in our study.

The experiment has two phases:

1. Sensitivity Calibration
2. The Actual Experiment

Prior to calibration, we will affix electrodes to the base of your non-dominant palm to calibrate your electrical signal sensitivity threshold. After calibration, you will hold a cylindrical vibration device and perform a texture discrimination/identification task. You will be asked to identify textures against a test sample from two choices while wearing noise-canceling headphones.

• Location: Ronald Tutor Hall, 4th floor, RTH 416/A
• Duration: The entire experiment will take about 40–45 minutes.
• Registration Link: https://calendar.app.google/JaVWKSSmGxqiGP6Z6

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at fangtaoz@usc.edu or sandeep.kollannur@usc.edu.

Best regards,

Fangtao / Sandeep
