MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
If and only if you’ve taken our survey but still have not made an appointment, you may do so here via VolunteerSpot. Please register yourself for just ONE timeslot. Volunteerspot requires your e-mail address to log in, but it does not create an account for you. Please use the same e-mail address as what you used in your survey.

DIRECTIONS
Our lab is located in the SCI Building on USC’s Park Campus. For your appointment, you will be picked up by the Principal Investigator (Adam – 347-831-2701) in front of this building. Below we detail where you will need to be, and how to get there.
Pick-up:
- You will be picked up 5 minutes prior to your appointment in front of the Eadward James Muybridge statue directly outside the entrance to the SCI building. (Note that the School of Cinematic Arts has another statue on its campus, one with a man brandishing a sword. This is the wrong statue; to access the correct statue, turn right when facing the sword statue face-to-face, and walk through and exit the building and continue straight across the courtyard.)
