By appointment only
Dates: Weekdays, August 29 to mid-September (may be extended).
Place: 1 minute walk from Finsbury Park tube station, London N4
Time: Any time between 10am and 6pm.
As a participant you would be asked individually to spend up to one hour in the specially constructed chamber. Participation may involve periods of exposure to infrasound and/or magnetic fields. You may experience mildly unusual sensations and will be asked to keep a record of these.
"Infrasound" is sound at frequencies below approx. 20Hz, which is generally too low for humans to perceive as sound. The magnetic fields will be generated by electromagnetic coils and will be similar to those generated naturally by the Earth. The levels used in the experiment will be at or below levels detected in the natural environment. These too will generally not be perceptible on a conscious level and are well under ICNIRP guidelines for health and safety.
In some cases, participants will be exposed to neither phenomena, though these participants will not be informed of this until the end of the experiment. In these cases, participants will be given an opportunity to experience the space with all phenomena active, though the results will not be included in the dataset.
If you are interested in participating please let me know by emailing with:
Your name:
Your availability: Day / Date / Time
Any family history of epilepsy?:
I will respond to confirm or suggest an alternative date/time and will include full address and directions for the experiment site.
If you choose to participate, please be aware that you may withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason without being required to provide an explanation. Data will be held securely and in the strictest of confidence. In the final report the results will be presented in such a way that the individual identity of all participants will remain strictly anonymous.
Thank you!
