FW: Can you help?

by Sylvia Barnes

Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041 -----Original Message----- From: Sandra Quinn Sent: 02 March 2005 10:20 To: Sylvia Barnes Subject: Can you help? Hi, My name is Sandra Quinn and I am in the 3rd year of my PhD. I am looking for participants for my last 3 experiments and wondered whether you might be able to help me. The experiments take between 1¼ hours and 1½ hours. I'm looking for willing participants and will generously reimburse people for their time. Is there any chance I can use the research list to bring it to their attention. I usually wouldn't go to these lengths, but I need to get these done so that I can start to write up. Would this be ok? The experiments involve listening to auditory sequences and making responses on a keyboard and would be done over 3 different sessions. I look forward to your reply.
