Final Presentations!!

So this morning Jane, Matt, and I finally started on our final presentation and poster!!! We don't have any data to add to our experiment section of it seeing as we haven't tested anyone yet. But we have started the background info about the lab and on eye-tracking etc. Matt's been working on the poster while Jane and I worked on the 'back-bone' to our presentation. While doing the presentation I came across a question that I had. So I went to ask Leanne and John but they weren't very helpful. I waited for Jeff and when I asked him we got into an hour long discussion which ended in Jeff burning the image of his hand into our retina's.

I don't remember why he thought of showing us this experiment but he turned of all the lights in the room and had us become dark adapted for 5 mins. Then after that he set off a very bright flash behind his hand which caused the image of his hand to be burn into our retina's. So as i looked around i saw Jeff's hand which had a cool purple color to it which then turned a neon green color. Don't worry the burn on my retina's went away after a couple minutes. 

Nick quickly ran us through a program(which i apparently can't blog about because its not out on the market yet) which was pretty neat. Plus later in the afternoon we shot some videos for jeff with the new mobile eye-tracker which only runs on 'that new program', so in order to calibrate the tapes we will get practice with the program- Dang and I was just getting familiar with Iscan.

Today for lunch we went to a picnic given by the people that put on the wednesday talks. The food was good but I was only allow one hamburger and they had NO CHEESE!!! Ahh, oh well but Tristan had a veggie burger because he is a vegetarian- which i could never do because without meat i like i would starve. Hmm so we bonded some with the other grad students and i'm pretty sure they are all going to die of poison except me (including Jane and Matt) because they all ate these tiny apple looking things on a tree.(I think they might have been crab apples) They will probably all show up to work tomorrow sick and I will just laugh at them.

Oh and we saw Harry Potter again at the picnic!!! :) It's just so uncanny, even more so up-close. 

After lunch we ran an errand for Jon and we worked on our presentations some more. I feel so much better that we have actually started them so now I don't feel as stressed out as before.
