Dear EECS Students, We are looking for participants for an interesting research study (IRB #HE-2023-391) on the use of filters for image privacy. Study Details * The purpose of this study is to investigate the tradeoff between privacy and user convenience for photo uploads to third party sites. * As a participant, you will be shown a variety of obfuscated images and asked questions pertaining to them (what can you identify, which images matches the given prompt, etc.). * The study is estimated to take around an hour and will be conducted remotely over Teams (audio may be recorded with your consent for the purposes of data enrichment). Participation * The study images are not inappropriate, but participation is restricted to adults residing in the US. * This study is part of a thesis project within Rakesh Bobba’s & Dave Nevin’s research group. Participation, or lack thereof, will not influence your class standing, club standing, or relationship with any of the involved parties or OSU itself. * Study participants will be entered into a drawing for one of three $20 Amazon gift cards. If you would like to participate between now and 7/29, please reach out Brandon Ellis at the following email. ellibran@oregonstate.edu<mailto:ellibran@oregonstate.edu> Thanks for your consideration. ::Rakesh -- Rakesh Bobba Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) & Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems Institute (CoRIS) Co-Founder, ORTSOC -- A cybersecurity teaching hospital College of Engineering, Oregon State University rakesh.bobba@oregonstate.edu<mailto:rakesh.bobba@oregonstate.edu>
