Surprise Sighting


Our morning meeting lasted a new record of about 30 seconds. Matt and I headed to the lab to start coding since the U of R interns were planning to stop by we figured we would actually get some work done. We coded for about an hour or so and then we went to meet the interns in the lobby. After that welcomed break we reluctantly got back to coding until the other interns stopped by. Matt showed them the mobile eye-tracker while Jon had up a live feed from the eye-tracker on the projector screen. Then I played the Eye Movements video for them that we just made and an already calibrated tape. They seemed to really like our lab but I felt bad we couldn't show them everything.

At 12 we meet them for pizza. And at 12:45 Matt and I went over to the seminar AND we didn't get lost!!! This week's talk was a little more interesting since it was Biology related I understood a lot more than past weeks. HOWEVER the first guy dragged on his presentation FOREVER and the second guy talked about basically the same things but added a new aspect to it. We didn't stay for the third one because it was 1 p.m. by the time the first two were done presenting. Half way through the presentation I noticed we were in the presence of Harry Potter!! I tried to get a picture for proof but as soon as it was over he ran away and jumped on his Firebolt and disappeared. :(

When we got back Matt and I worked on writing the scripts for our experiment. I worked out some more kinks in the Where's Waldo Power-Point and then I was a pilot to our lego experiment. Maybe tomorrow we will be able to calibrate our tapes to see if our experiment works but right now Leanne is calibrating tapes from her experiment.
