Lake Harriet Parking

Minneapolis Parks and Recreation allows performers to park at venues for free, provided you put a permit on your dash.  I have a PDF copy of the permit that I can send you if you email me (bredin@acm.org).

best wishes,

State Fair Vibration Experiments

As I announced at practice earlier, I'm doing my research experiments at the State Fair!  My experiment takes about 10 minutes where I test your fingertip and palm for vibrotactile sensitivity (aka how well you feel vibrations). 

I'm particularly interested in subjects to serve as controls for patients with Dupuytrens disease, a hand condition that causes finger contraction and is mostly present in 60+ y.o. Scandanavians, but I would love to test as many people as possible.

Participants will be compensated with a souvenior refrigerator magnet of a hand.

I'll be there the following days:

  • Friday, Aug. 24    9:00 am - 2:00 pm
  • Monday, Aug.      3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
  • Wed., Aug. 29      3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
  • Thurs., Aug. 30    9:00 am - 2:00 pm
I will be at the Driven to Discover building on Cosgrove Street, across from the Education building and near the Snelling Ave. entrance.

For more information, please visit my Good Vibrations website or email me at GoodVibrations@umn.edu.

Thanks in advance!  ~ Tiffany
