I'm interested, I know I do a lot of events but if I get a spare moment I don't mind having a natterI will come to this because I am looking to test a sample of speedcubers as part of my dissertation.
Basically, I am hoping to find out whether there is a correlation between experience and executive function (intelligence) and also whether these skills are transferable to the real world. It would be brilliant to see if practice, experience or skill level in cubing affects how your brain processes information in the long term and whether the skills are transferable, especially since nothing like this has been done before (relating to the Rubik's Cube, at least.) So anyone who is willing to take 20-30 minutes out in between events to take part I would be super appreciativeI might treat you to a chocolate bar/energy drink or something, who knows.
I've also registered, but the dissertation comes first, so I probably won't even have time for 2x2x2. If you're interested in participating then come and find me when we're there, or PM me if you have specific questions. Thanks guys

I wanted to include something on cubing in my dissertation, but I couldn't wrangle it
Although we discussed investigating autism-like traits in cubers in the future.

Simon Baron-Cohen has referenced the Rubik's cube in a couple of papers about autism (I think he is also planning to try and teach autistic children the solution and monitor their progress.) There is an assisting PhD student at Cambridge who cubed and has appeared on the radio but I'm not sure who he is - but yeah, it's about finding a practical application in order to writing up about cubing

From my existing level of interest in this topic, I think the most fruitful would probably to talk about the relationship between ASD and addictive behaviours, since so many activities from the 1st to 100th end of the spectrum relate to addictions/obsessions and anxiety. That might be a bit much for a BSc disso though!
