Unique Research Opportunity for Musicians
Turing is inviting musicians to participate in a groundbreaking research initiative. As part of the Common Lives Project, you and a fellow musician will wear GoPros during collaborative practice or recording sessions. Your footage will power future AI models that understand complex, real-world activities.

Responsibilities:
The participant's responsibilities include wearing a head-mounted GoPro camera to capture daily activities for five separate days within a two-week window. A minimum of seven hours per day must be recorded, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
