We are currently running a study which is open to children between 5 and 11 years of age. The study is presented as a game in which children are asked to indicate which of four rockets flashed to show that it was running out of fuel. Children place their fingertips onto vibrating pads, which vibrate when the rockets are ready to ?launch?.

Participation in this study will help us to build on our understanding of how children use tactile stimuli to direct their attention. We are interested in what this can tell us about how children keep track of events in the world in relation to their own bodies.

Children are rewarded for participation with stickers, a bookmark and a certificate.

Participation in this study requires a single visit of around one hour to the InfantLab (at Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross).

If you have a child within this age range who might be interested in participating then please email ([email protected]) to find out more or book a slot.

- Interesting solution to owning a cargo bike

  Quicker than a car…crikey how fast do they go? I have PTSD from a folding bike I had as a kid that snapped in half when I did a jump! I look at things like this and Bromptons and get the fear which is why I stick to sturdier bikes!

  Earl…that isn’t misinformation it comes from the very report the 20% increase (in cycling stages) claim was taken from and regurgitated by many without actually checking the facts. Unless, of course, you are saying that TFL is spreading misinformation….;-) Here are all the reports: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/travel-in-london-reports Then scroll down to the Travel in London 2023 - Active Travel trends (pasted below to make it easy for you to find) and then you’ll find everything I have quoted from page 13…. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-2023-active-travel-trends-acc.pdf And I am actually shocked that, despite all the investment, that growth has been minimal…hardly the 10x growth Will Norman claimed was coming….. Cycling made up 4.5 per cent of trips in London on an average day in 2022, up from 3.6 per cent in 2019.

  Because it's affordable and plenty of choice. It's a changing and will continue to do so. As with most areas going through the gentrification process it will be all about the night time economy meaning a saturation of drinking holes and ' cool and vibrant ' licensed eateries. Brixton mark 2. I think Covid slowed down the pace of change in the next ' up and coming ' areas and has given many prospective ventures itchy feet and pause for thought because there's less footfall and disposable cash than there was pre covid. Brixton for example is much quieter and visibly down on numbers in both bars and eateries. Across London clubs and music venues are dropping like flies.
