Project Description

Description of the Experiment

During this study the in which you interact with the game Tetris will be analysed using a specifically created webpage.

The total time requirement for this study should be no more than seven minutes.

Once the data has been collected, our aim, as mentioned previously, will be to use this data to develop a method of uniquely identifying an individual based on their playing behaviours.

General Points

The project will run until 28th February 2018.

Participation in this research is entirely voluntary and you are free to withdraw at any time without penalty by advising the researchers of this decision.

To protect your anonymity you will not be identified in any reports of publications that result from this study.
