Done

Administrivia

• Drafted consent request, protocol, and recruitment email for expedited IRB review.
• Extracted draft questionnaire from Qualtrics for inclusion in IRB submission.

Data Collection

• Met with Dr. Zefran. He thinks CV alone should get the job done. Other sensors have noisy signals and are a hassle. He thought this would be a good project for CV class.
• Contacted Dr. Jezekiel Ben-Arie for advice on CV. He is considering the problem in consultation with his wife, who is a pianist.
• Drafted more questions for needs analysis survey and entered them into Qualtrics.
