To be completed by investigator after
reading RIT policy for the protection
of human subjects in research. To be
awarded to John M. Waud, Chairman
of RIT Institutional Review Board
1. Investigator's Name Lisa A. Markel Phone Number ______
Address________________________________________________________________
2. Data Submitted: December 4, 1997
3. If student, name of faculty sponsor: Jeff Pelz
4. Project Title: Correlation Between Color Reproduction Preferences nd Eye Movements
5. Description of criteria and subject selection procedure, inclueing number, source, etc
18 subjects, mix in age, gender, student/faculty,
friends. Subjects must will not have color
deficiencies, no glasses, contacts
are ok.
6. If informed consent is to be obtained(type II, III, IV), attach
completed, unsigned copy of the
form to be given to subjects
and/or parnets or guradians. (To avoid possible delay,
investigator is urged to
submit informed consent form unless confident the project will be
classified as Type I).
The consent form is the one found in Appendix A.
7. Expected benefits to subject or contributions to new knowledge,
if any. (If an abstract of the
proposed research has been prepared,
and if attched to this form, that may suffice)
The proposal for
the research was attached to this form
8. Summary description of types of existing data to be used in
this project, if any, including whether
they were originally collected primarily
for research purposes.
There is no existing data on this topic. There is data on the
equipment, ASL eye tracking system
included.
9. Variables involving direct participation of subjects.
Indicate treatment procedures and nature of the
data to be collected; attach copy of
test, questionaire, interview protocol, etc, or decription thereof.
Participants will be asked to view pairs of images while wearing the
eye tracker unit. They will
be asked to judge the color reproduction quality and pick their preferred
print. This will be repeated
for 36 pairs of images.
10. Time required of each subject and whether it will involve
class time or out-of-class time.
Out-of -class time, voluntary time will be required of each subject.
11. Describe any possible risks of injury to subjects, even only
remote or negligible in their effecrs, and
taken to minimize these
risks and/or reduce injury.
The headband may become uncomfortable with prolonged use. The
IR illuminator used to
illuminate the pupil/eye is at a level that, at its maximum setting,
is 1/10 the level when exposed
to normal daylight. The setting used in this experiment will be
closer to 1/100 the level of daylight
