Active research surveys at UNSW

Contribute to currently running surveys endorsed by UNSW below. Read the requirements for participation carefully, including eligibility criteria and incentives for completion.

Cognitive load-based Human-machine Teaming Training

Participate in a UNSW research study on human-machine teaming and personalised adaptive learning environments.

This study aims to explore how training systems that adapt to a person's cognitive load can improve learning in tasks involving human-machine teaming. To learn more, read the participant information statement and consent form.

Eligibility

Age: 18 - 31
UNSW student
Comfortable with computers
Not colour blind
No visual impairments.

Commitment

90 minutes of your time is required, in-person on Kensington Campus. You'll complete the following tasks while wearing physiological sensors:

Questionnaire
Pre-training assessment
30-minute training curriculum
Post-training assessment
Short transfer learning task
Short aptitude test.

Incentive

You'll receive a $50 prepaid Coles/Myer gift card for your time.

Investigating the Role of Brain Frequencies in Working Memory

Participate in a UNSW researcher study investigating the role of brain frequencies in working memory.

We are exploring how brief changes in brain activity can affect memory functions.

For this study, we will use a method called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). This technique allows us to temporarily adjust specific patterns of brain activity. We will apply tACS to specific brain regions and observe how these changes affect memory tasks. To track these effects, we will use electroencephalography (EEG), a type of brain scan that records brain activity.

Your participation as a healthy volunteer is invaluable, as it will help us gain deeper insights into how our brains manage memory based on different brain activities.

Eligibility

You may be eligible to take part if you're:

Aged 18-60 years
Are not taking any concurrent medications that may affect brain stimulation effects (e.g. benzodiazepines)
Have no current history of drug or alcohol abuse, or dependence
Do not currently have a neurological disorder
Have no recent history of any neurological illness, seizure, stroke or any serious medical conditions
Have no recent head injury
Have no metal implants or devices in their body that could be affected by electrical currents
Are not currently pregnant.

Commitment

One initial visit and two tACS sessions. Each session takes approximately 1 hour.

Incentive

For your time, we'll give you a $30 per hour gift voucher from Coles Group & Myer.

Young Drivers’ Eye Gaze Performance

Participate in a UNSW researcher study about young drivers’ gaze patterns during driving.

Eligibility

The study is looking to recruit people who meet the following criteria:

18 – 25 years of age
Australian provisional driver licence holder
Does not suffer from motion or simulator sickness during driving.

Commitment

You will be asked to complete the following research activities if you agree to participate:

An online screen questionnaire expected to take one minute to complete (three questions)
Then,
- Three simulated drives using a computer-based driving simulator
- One demographics questionnaire
- One computer-based training exercise.

The total time expected to complete the research is no longer than 90 minutes.

Incentive

You will receive a $50 Coles gift voucher as compensation for your time participating in this study.

How Australian medical students use generative AI in their learning

Participate in a research project on AI and medical education.

Eligibility

This study is looking for participants who are:

Current medical students
Enrolled in a Doctor of Medicine, MBBS or MD course in an Australian university.

Exclusion criteria:

International or overseas students participating in a temporary exchange program at an Australian university.

Commitment

Participants will be asked to complete a 10-15 minute online questionnaire containing questions about your use of generative AI, including patterns of use, frequency of use and your attitudes and behaviours towards generative AI.
