[Infovis] Expand your research: Try some medical perception and/or cognition research

[Chen, Jian]

Dear VIS and VR colleagues,

I am posting this message on behalf of Prof. Jeremy Wolfe at Harvard. Please take a look at the CFP, stay in touch, and submit your application(s).

I think this is a great opportunity to evaluate / validate our methods with real users who are expensive and difficult to find. Now, you get them for free.

Please help spread the words.


Best regards,
 — Jian

Hi Jian…Are the places you could post this where visualization people might see it?

Try something a bit different
 TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO CONDUCT
MEDICAL IMAGE PERCEPTION / MEDICAL COGNITION RESEARCH!
Oct 3-5 at the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP)
Nov 25-30 at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)

Investigators conducting research on medical image perception know that it can be difficult to attract radiologists or other experts to participate as experimental observers. For the last two years support from the NIH National Cancer Institute (NCI) has funded the Perception Lab in the Learning Center of the RSNA annual meeting in Chicago. Last year, fourteen labs tested over 200 radiologists. We are happy to announce Year 3 of the Perception Lab will run from: Nov. 25th to Nov. 30th at RSNA in the McCormick Place in Chicago.
NEW in 2018: In addition, if we get NCI funding, this year a similar opportunity will be available at the ASCP Annual Meeting, Oct 3rd – 5th at the Baltimore Convention Center.
At the RSNA Perception Lab, you can test radiologists and others on relatively brief experiments (~30 minutes maximum). The annual RSNA meeting provides an unparalleled pool of potential participants: attendance is upwards of 50,000, including ~25,000 professionals in some aspect of radiology.
The ASCP Perception Lab is a new venture that will run on the same principle. Here you will be able to recruit observers from among the approximately 2,000 pathologists, residents, and lab professionals in attendance.
We are inviting applications for investigators to participate in either lab…or both.
Facilities: There will be six small, darkened testing areas. At RSNA, each will be equipped with a desk, two chairs, two 47-inch monitors (Samsung LN-T4665F, color with VGA and HDMI, 1920 x 1080 pixels), power, and internet access. At ASCP, there will be a single monitor. There will be a registration/waiting area. RSNA and ASCP will provide some help in recruiting observers and with general publicity. In addition, registration fees for the meeting will be waived for participating researchers. Individual researchers will need to provide any equipment other than the monitors described above (e.g., if you need medical grade monitors, computers, eye-trackers, you need to make arrangements). You will also need to provide personnel to carry out the experiment. Finally, investigators will be asked to contribute a modest amount to a fund that will allow us to run a participant lottery (an Amazon gift card did well last year).
Applications by Aug 1 (or, at least, tell us your application is coming).
For application details, send a note to Jeremy Wolfe (jwolfe at bwh.harvard.edu)<mailto:jwolfe at bwh.harvard.edu)> and/or Jennifer Trueblood (jennifer.s.trueblood at vanderbilt.edu<mailto:(jennifer.s.trueblood at vanderbilt.edu>)
