The Bristol Interaction Group (BIG) are conducting research to advance understanding of perceptual cognition in the field of human-computer interaction.
This in-person study aims to understand the perceptual toughness (break-ability) of physical objects, through physical impact testing (a method used to test the toughness of a material) and principles of ecological psychology (a non-representational theory of perception). Anybody who meets the study criteria is welcome to take part. Participation should take 30-45 minutes and on completion of the experiment participants will receive a £10 Amazon voucher.
Experiments will be undertaken at the BIG lab, Queen’s Building, University of Bristol, BS8 1TR.
