The age of space exploration is upon us. Now is the time to leap ahead….

Are you ready to be an explorer in our SCIENTIFIC STUDY examining personality traits and performance in a virtual environment.? In the first half of the study your personality will be assessed to see if you are a good fit to explore the surface of the red planet. After your recon mission, you will then debrief by answering questions about the information that you have gathered.

Don't worry for now, everything is explained in the briefing room…

Should you choose to accept this mission, note that you will be contributing to an active academic experiment.

The first 100 participants will receive a £2 amazon voucher by contacting Dr Thomas at lxt062@student.bham.ac.uk. You need to state time & date of participation and complete the whole study.
