So before our morning meeting I decided to take a quick nap since I get here so early but unfortunately I never actually fell asleep. Our morning meeting was brief and bob reminded us of our lovely posters that we have to make and Jane and I started freaking out since we didn't know what to do. However that fueled our brainstorm and we decided to talk to Jeff about a possible experiment. We came to him with several ideas and he really liked the one with eye-tracking a person while they are looking at a Where's Waldo picture. We want to determine peoples search tactics, where they tend to look and if inhibition of return is a factor. I'm really excited about this experiment because we worked on it all morning and actually had something else to do other than coding. We are also going to compare that data with how people do a visual search with real life objects. This should be interesting and we are going to present our project but Matt and Aj won't be here that day so it will just be Jane and I presenting.
We went to the presentations for lunch. Today there was a guy from the imaging science building so that was cool. He even used a 5 screen PowerPoint which was spread out on the side walls.
After lunch Aj and I created a PowerPoint for our project but it still need some tweaking. Tomorrow we are bringing in supplies so we can work on it. I even coded some parts of a video but when I tried it in the morning the stupid program kept closing out which loses all the data if you didn't save it. I swear it closed out at least ten times. Grr. Anyways I did some more coding in the afternoon despite my anger towards the system and it was actually fine and didn't close once. Now we have to do some literary research and read some articles for our project.

If Bob is Kremens, and Jeff is Pelz, you have two awesome people to teach you practical knowledge useful in many professions. Here's an idea for visual perception: how does a person with rapid vision loss in childhood compensate with reference to saccadic motion and depth cues?
