********************
Volunteers sought:
A group of researchers from the Department of Computer Science at NUI Maynooth
are looking for a number of subjects to take part in an experimental study of
Braille reading. The aim of the experiment is to gather detailed data from
visually impaired, fluent readers of Braille. Subjects will be asked to read a
series of short texts from a refreshable Braille display and from Braille
printed paper. The experiment will take place during 11-14 May at NCBI head
office on Whitworth Road, Dublin 9.
A session should take no more than one hour and subjects will be paid €10 per
hour along with any reasonable travel expenses.
If you are a fluent Braille reader and would like to assist with this piece of
research in to the perceptions of how the Braille reader interprets image from
finger to brain, please let Niamh Connolly know and she will pass on your
contact details to the research team. You can contact Niamh at
niamh.connolly@xxxxxxx
