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

What we did over last week

Florian

1. Accepted: Alex's paper on the role of verb repetition during cumulative priming (none ;)), at JEP:LMC.

Esteban

1. Read through and left feedback for BCS 152 experimental proposals.

1. Analysis of behavioral part of phonetic adaptation experiment in the scanner

3. Wrote (and submitted) SVALP abstract on inferring prior beliefs.
