A Research Project Investigating Reading Processes in Higher Education
15 July 2017
I would like to invite you to participate in our project which investigates aspects of reading. We are interested in whether heart rate may be a physiological indicator of one’s emotional state when completing reading and non-reading tasks. This project is for my Master's thesis at Newcastle University. It is hoped that the project could provide useful information for researchers investigating reading processes, providing recommendations for both fluent reading and intervention.
