Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether we can use a thermal camera (pointed at the subject's nostrils) to identify the deepest points of inhalation and exhalation.

Detailed description of study

The Kinsey Institute's Socioneural Physiology Lab is currently looking for volunteer subjects to participate in a study about respiration that uses a thermal camera.  Subjects will perform breathing tasks in various positions.  The study will take around an hour to complete.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Healthy
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

Exclusion Criteria

Currently suffering from a respiratory illness (i.e. a cough or cold, pneumonia, etc.) or, in general, anyone who would have difficulty performing simple breathing exercises.

Weigh more than 315 pounds, due to weight limits of our furniture.

This study investigates how a thermal camera can be used to identify the deepest points of inhalation and exhalation. The camera is focused on the nostrils to capture temperature changes during breathing.

Participants will perform various breathing tasks in different positions. The study involves using a thermal camera to observe changes in temperature as participants breathe.

  • Who can participate: Adults who do not have a respiratory illness and weigh less than 315 pounds can participate.
  • Study details: Participants will perform breathing tasks while being observed through a thermal camera. The study will take about an hour to complete.
  • Study Timelines: The study will last around an hour.
