Participants required for research - Tuesdays and Thursdays - Denmark Hill


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


My name is Martin, and I'm a research assistant at Kings College. I'm currently recruiting volunteers for a study looking at different patterns of brain activity between people who meditate and people who don't. Right now I'm looking for control participants (i.e. people who DON'T meditate) to take part. You only need to be right handed, available for a couple of hours on either a Tuesday or a Thursday and able to get to Denmark Hill, though unfortunately due to the equipment we use I cannot test people with dreadlocks or afro hairstyles, sorry!


Currently, we are prioritizing male participants until the end of June, however if you are female and want to take part, get in touch and I can keep your details on file until we are ready to start recruiting females again.


The study involves the use of EEG, a completely non-invasive and painless procedure that allows us to record brain activity through the scalp. It involves wearing a cap with some electrodes attached to it and the application of a small amount of gel (which can easily be washed out).


If you are interested in helping out with scientific research (and also seeing what your brain looks like when it is thinking!) or would like to know more please get in touch either by replying to this post, or emailing me at [email protected]. To sweeten the deal I can also compensate you ?15 for your time.


Thanks!


Martin

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
