    Help with PhD study

    Hi all.

    Do any of you fine folk fancy helping out with a PhD study?

    An acquaintance of mine is currently studying how artists view things and how their eye movements differ from non-artists when looking at pictures and objects. Unfortunately she is struggling to find enough artists to help in her research.

    The criteria is anybody who is a qualified and/or experienced artist or designer. If you don't have qualifications but have worked in your field for yonks, then that counts just as much as some fresh-faced whipper-snapper with a shiny new qualification.

    The big snag is, you need to be in the Leicester area. The eye-tracking equipment she uses is too large to travel with, so anybody interested needs to go to her and is the main reason she is struggling to find artists.

    I confess I don't know much more about the project, but if anybody is interested or wants to know more just let me know either here or via PM.

    Thanks in advance.
