Hello,
I’m a member of the Boston quantified self group and a doctoral student in my final year of a clinical psychology program. I’m currently recruiting participants for a large, IRB approved research study on using patterns in passive smartphone data to detect and track mood fluctuation, with multiple incentives for participants (see below) This is a project I have been planning for the past two years which I am funding at my own expense, motivated by my enthusiasm for this research. I would be deeply grateful to anyone willing to participate or help with sharing this opportunity. Thanks for your time.
