Alice Bullas, a graduate intern at the Centre for Sports Engineering Research, is appealing for more participants for her research study, especially women.
The primary focus of her study is to determine the effectiveness of three different peripheral electrical stimulation methods in priming the brain to learn. Such methods could be used in rehabilitation sessions for stroke victims, or those learning a new skill.
The research involves volunteers receiving three different stimulation patterns to one forearm, over three sessions (one two-and-a-half hour session and two two-hour sessions) preferably a week apart, at the same time of day. All of it is pain free.
All testing will take place throughout June and July and during afternoons with two slots per day: 1:30pm to 4pm and 4:30pm to 7pm.
