I am a research fellow of the Sackler Centre of Consciousness Science at the University of Sussex.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently undertaking a study to see explore if training on a series of cognitive and perceptual tasks can improve a person\u2019s short term memory and perception.<\/p>\n<p>This experiment is different from the others you might be asked to participate in, as it involves many more hours of participation: You will be asked to carry out 4-5 interesting computer based cognitive and perceptual tasks for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for a period of 5 weeks. These tasks are designed to help improve certain aspects of your memory and perceptual performance and as such will require your full attention. <b>The training tasks will be carried out online on your own computer and in your own time.<\/b> Only one training session per week will be carried out in the Sackler Centres behavioural laboratory, Chichester 1, room 163.<\/p>\n<p><b>However you will be reimbursed for any time involved in this experiment (at the equivalent rate of 5 pounds an hour).<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The knowledge gained will be of general theoretical interest and may in the future be a promising new tool for vulnerable clinical groups to enhance general mental ability.<\/p>\n<p>If you would be interested in taking part please reply to this email to arrange a time to come in for a chat about the study. If you have any other questions please don\u2019t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for your participation,<\/p>\n<p>David Schwartzman<\/p>\n<p>(d.schwartzman@<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fsussex.ac.uk&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNH8UtMZzup9eOipLyIWmS5xahjeAA\" target=\"_blank\">sussex.ac.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n<div>Dr David Schwartzman<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small\">Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science,<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Chichester<\/span> 1, Room 166,<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small\">University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, BN<span style=\"font-size: small\">1<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: small\">9<\/span>RH, <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small\">Tel: <a href=\"tel:%2B44-1273-67-8213\" target=\"_blank\">+44-1273-67-8213<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all, My husband, David, is looking for participants for a study he&#8217;s running here at Sussex.
