Be sure to get IRB approval before collecting data with this in a class.
Michael's post above brought to mind a an article published in the latest issue of Academe. The article: "Can E.T. Phone Home? The Brave New World of University Surveillance" by Cary Nelson raises a number of issues regarding the extent to which IRBs have expanded their purview of scholarly activity/research. The article can be accessed via the web at: http://www.aaup.org/publications/Academe/03so/03sonels.htm
From the web site: "Once confined largely to the sciences, institutional review boards have begun to broaden their purview. The consequences for other disciplines could be serious".
