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
Received comments from Lissa about Masha's paper on case-marking vs. constituent order. Resubmitted this week.
Gave talk at DETEC.
Kodi
- Continued writing/revising encyclopedia article on speech perception and cross-talker generalization
- Did a lot of reading about normalization accounts across the decades
Edited a paper for JEP:HPP on perceptual adaptation to foreign-accented speech
- Met with various lab/BCS members to learn about their on-going projects
- Secured an office space (hoozah!)
Andrew
- Made lab website HTTPS everywhere.
Olga
- Met with Lauren about the SONA system. Figured out how to log into the HLP lab ra account (Should document this somewhere). Did another REDcap training.
- Submitted an amendment for a flyer. Made changes to said flyer with Lauren. Waiting to hear back
- Met with Zach and collected information for a wiki page. Will update this wiki page this week
- Continued with the Tutorial template. Got the Java script code working for the navigation bar. (Thanks Zach for the help!)
Esteban
Dave
- Nearly final version of paper on selective adaptation and distributional learning.
- Implemented hybrid functional/anatomical ROI analysis for animals category learning.
Added prediction to logistic regression code for web experiments.
Did a bunch of reading about numeric methods for solving GLMMs. It's more complicated than I thought
Sarah
Dan
Amanda
Zach
Edited this page on Friday. Say whaaaaaaaaat!?
- Helped Olga make some changes on the wiki, and beat back the beast that is javascript
- Coded up some stuff for the Kamide study and the ICA study
- Went back and reworked a lot of the code behind my accent modeling stuff
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"?
Linda
- Heard back from Sarah Fenwick (from UWS) about obtaining materials for future online adaptation studies. It looks like they have 6 M/ 6 F speakers for 5 different accents.
- Modified pen in mouth study to run with pre-test.
- Added a script for deleting hits and awarding bonuses in boto.
- Talked to Chelsea about getting a key for Lauren so she can access the office after hrs (for recording purposes). Briefly sat in on Lauren's recording session to make sure everything was going well.
- Went through images for syntax study to check for proto-typically.
