Volunteers needed for Exploring Psychophysiological Responses to Environmental Design Using Virtual Reality (VR) Settings
On-site Lab Study (2.22 – Second Floor), Liverpool John Moores University, Tom Reilly Building, Byrom St, Liverpool, L3 3AFI am running sessions from Monday-Friday, 13-17 April 2026 (8am – 7pm).

We are looking for volunteers aged 18 to 65 to take part in a one-off virtual reality (VR) study about how people respond to different bedroom and workplace designs. The study looks at how interior design and room layout may relate to people’s psychophysiological responses. We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping and a significant portion of our waking hours at work, which means the design of bedrooms and workplaces is particularly important for wellbeing and productivity. The findings will contribute to evidence-based approaches to designing healthier living and working environments.

You would be invited to come to the Psychophysiology Laboratory 2.22 (second floor) at LJMU, Tom Reilly Building, Byrom St, Liverpool L3 3AF, for one lab session lasting about 45–60 minutes.
All participants will receive a £15 shopping voucher.

During the session, you would:

Read an information sheet and give written consent
Complete a short health screening and brief questionnaires
Have simple, non-invasive sensors attached to your fingers and chest so that we can record basic body signals (such as skin conductance and heart activity). These are research measures only and are not medical tests or diagnoses.
Wear a VR headset and look around several different virtual bedrooms and workplaces
Rate how you felt in each environment and complete questionnaires at the end

The study is open to people who:

Are 18–65 years old
Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and do not need to wear glasses all the time for seeing clearly in the distance. Contact lenses are fine, and reading glasses are not needed for this study, as there will be no small text to read inside the VR headset; however, there will be questionnaires to read and complete, so please bring your reading glasses if you normally need them for this.
Are comfortable wearing a VR headset and having sensors on the skin
Have no known allergies to adhesive materials used for electrode attachment
Can read and understand English and are able to provide informed consent

Unfortunately, you cannot take part if you:

Have severe motion sickness or have felt very unwell in VR before
Have a known allergy to medical adhesive (for the sensor pads)
Have strong claustrophobia that would make wearing a VR headset difficult
Have a history of epilepsy or seizures
Currently have nausea or vomiting
Are pregnant
Usually need to wear glasses all the time to see clearly in the distance (for example, for general daily use, walking around, or watching TV). Unfortunately, these glasses will not fit inside the VR headset.

All participants will receive a £15 shopping voucher (Amazon, Marks&Spencer) as a thank you for their time.
The £15 payment is the same whether or not you complete the whole session, if you stop for safety or comfort reasons.Further information is provided in the Participant Information Sheet.Taking part is completely voluntary. Saying no will not affect your course, marks, employment, or relationship with LJMU in any way. You can pause or stop the session at any time without giving a reason.
