On the BRACE advert, the link to their 'lab website' was broken for me. Correct link is http://brottolab.med.ubc.ca/studies/ if anyone else wants it. I found it maybe a bit too funny how they've structured all their research titles to make such nice acronyms.

Oh, thank you for catching that!

With the link fixed, it looks OK.

 

Although I understand about vision requirements, why no left-handed peeps?

Maybe lefties have different eye movements?

And thanks for providing the link to the research. It's great that research is being done into asexuality and sexual orientation. Maybe it'll provide some insights into why we are the way we are.
