The SPINL Lab at CU Boulder is currently recruiting participants for a research study exploring how stress and wellbeing change across the menstrual cycle. If you're someone who tracks your cycle or experiences noticeable shifts in mood or stress, this might be something you'd find interesting to take part in.

Eligible?

• Ages 18 and up
• Regular menstrual cycles for the last six months
• Not currently using hormonal birth control
• Experience premenstrual symptoms

What does the study involve?

Participation involves a few brief activities spread out across one full cycle, including smartphone-based check-ins, a short survey and at-home ovulation tracking (materials provided). We expect you to divulge about three hours of commitment throughout your cycle. 

• In total, about three hours spread out across a month
• Baseline questionnaires
• At-home ovulation tracking (supplies provided)
• Six-minute smartphone assessments every other day across your cycle

Participants will also be compensated for their time and can earn up to $50 for their participation. If you're curious to learn more or think you might be eligible, feel free to check out the attached flyer or complete the short pre-screening.

Feel free to reach out to spinl@colorado.edu with any questions.

During campus portal maintenance, which is next scheduled for Saturday, July 26, you can still access Canvas and some other campus services through direct links (e.g., canvas.colorado.edu).

The SHINE Lab at CU Boulder is recruiting participants for XR research assessing and optimizing cognitive load. This entails identifying when and how to reduce cognitive load and improve training in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

Who can join this study

• You are between 18–65 years old
• You can speak and read English
• You have normal vision (20/20) or corrected vision with contact lenses. Glasses are not recommended to be used with VR headsets.

Where

Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC), Room 184E*
1777 Exposition Dr, Boulder, CO 80301

*This room is inaccessible without a key, so someone will meet you in the lobby.

Details

In this research experiment, you are invited to complete an assembly task while inside of a consumer-available extended reality head-mounted display (HMD). This means that you may be in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). You will also wear a full head of neurological sensors: functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG).

The experiment takes 120 minutes. There are no direct benefits to you as a participant, but you will be able to gain some understanding of XR research. HMDs may increase the potential for humans to experience motion sickness symptoms or simulator sickness. Experience of these symptoms is greater for participants who have a history of motion sickness. As with any research, there is some possibility that you may be subject to risks that have not yet been identified.

You will receive a $40 Amazon gift card for your participation.

Please register for an experiment slot.

As of July 1, hold pickup and material return services at the Bartlett Center have been discontinued. 

If you have a hold in that location, please email libraries@colorado.edu and select one of six library locations on Main Campus to pick up your hold; or you can have your hold sent to your campus box via campus mail, which can take up to two weeks. If you have materials to return, you may do so at any of the six library locations on Main Campus.

The CU Museum of Natural History, located in the Henderson building on Main Campus, will be temporarily closed between July 1 and the end of the year.

Museum Institute Director Nancy Stevens said, “This closure has been timed to coincide with the very end the Hellems renovation project, and both buildings will reopen concurrently, refreshed and ready to warmly welcome students, the larger campus community and visitors to our campus”.

Until then, CU Museum will be accessible to campus partners by appointment only and on a case-by-case basis. Members of the public can engage with special content and programming via the Museum From Home page. Please contact cumuseum@colorado.edu to submit a request for more information.
