More Details
RESEARCH DESIGN
PARTICIPANTS
Graduate or undergraduate students in Duke Kunshan University. Total subject number is 60, with half Chinese students and half international students. Genders of Chinese and international students should be balanced.
RESEARCH LOCATION & TIME
AB 3114, 3116 and 3108 in Duke Kunshan University.
Nov. 19th- 23rd, 2018. Students can scan the QR code to register as participants. We have many time blocks available per day from 8:00am till 10:00pm. At most 3 participants can take experiment together. It takes about 40min for the whole experiment.
EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
Two physiological signals are recorded for each participant during the whole experiment: (SCR) Skin conductance response & EEG.
12 pictures taken at the same place with varied PM2.5concentrations background are presented randomly and in alternated with 12 climate change pictures between any two PM pictures. Participants are asked to rate on two emotional scales: valence & arousal.
Pictures are displayed for 3s, and ratings are self-paced. The experiment has 8 blocks and 24 trials for each block. In total we have 8*24 = 192 trials for each participant.
APPARATUS
INTRO TO EEG
EXP II
Landscapes and mental status: A pilot study based on mobile EEG
【RESEARCH OBJECTIVE】
Take advantage of EMOTIV mobile EEG devices as well as BIOHARNESS portable ECG devices to explore the potential impact of different landscapes on mental health.
【EXPERIMENT APPARATUS】
EMOTIV wireless EEG devices.
BIOHARNESS ECG & Respiration recording devices.
MICRO PAM PM2.5 and O3 portable monitoring devices.
Kestrel 5500 mini weather stations.
【RESEARCH DESIGN】
Participants：The same group of students in EXP I.
Research location and experiment procedure: Two typical landscape types in or near Duke-Kunshan University. Proposed landscape types: Green space and traffic road. Rest-state EEG data will be recorded for each student for 10 min at each site. Meanwhile, ECG and respiratory signals will also be monitored during the whole experiment. Two kinds of pollutants: PM2.5 & O3 and several weather parameters such as wind speed, temperature and humidity etc. are monitored at each site, to examine any interaction or mediation effect caused by these factors.
Experiment time：Nov 22nd- 26th, 2018. Time schedule for each day will be released in the email.
