Lab Meeting, Summer 2015, Week 7

We'll discuss this paper:

Mirjam Keetels, Mauro Pecoraro, Jean Vroomen. (2015). Recalibration of auditory phonemes by lipread speech is ear-specific. Cognition, 141, Pages 121-126, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2015.04.019. PDF

Dave will lead discussion

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

What we did over last week

Florian

Kodi

2. Did a lot of reading about normalization accounts across the decades
3. Met with various lab/BCS members to learn about their on-going projects
4. Secured an office space (hoozah!)

Andrew

Olga

Esteban

Dave

1. Nearly final version of paper on selective adaptation and distributional learning.
2. Implemented hybrid functional/anatomical ROI analysis for animals category learning.

3. Added prediction to logistic regression code for web experiments.

4. Did a bunch of reading about numeric methods for solving GLMMs. It's more complicated than I thought

Sarah

Dan

Amanda

Zach

1. Edited this page on Friday. Say whaaaaaaaaat!?

2. Helped Olga make some changes on the wiki, and beat back the beast that is javascript
3. Coded up some stuff for the Kamide study and the ICA study
4. Went back and reworked a lot of the code behind my accent modeling stuff

5. Found out how to use the PyPy interpreter on my IDE. My gigantic Python monstrosities are now a bajillion times faster, but like any self-conscious mad scientist, I wonder how stable/reliable my creation is. It seems to be processing floats..."differently"?
