This week I ran a second pilot study with its own problems and addressed them. I also built a presenter program for a task about learning rules for some lab colleages' project.
This day I attended the lab-wide "what are we going to do this week" meeting. I received the assignments of having a pilot study on wednesday and of building a presentation program for another task study going on in the lab.
This day I met with two lab colleagues to work out a requirements document for their study's presentation program. Once finished, I met with another lab colleague to discuss what they might want to change about my program so that they may make their own to perform their own task.
Afterward, I had Git and GitHub and all that explained to me by a lab colleague. I did not get fully set up this day with the lab's repository, but I have done so later on.
This day I worked on that other presentation program as previously mentioned. It has turned out to be much more work than anticipated - this task is considerably more complex and as such would take much effort and time to complete as was decided upon by me and my colleagues.
Afterward, I attended the weekly ITS meeting, where we discuss everything going on in the overarching ITS area. There we spent much of the meeting and went on beyond the time the meeting is set to be discussing how to make their presentation program much less of a huge timesink. It was decided to remove any generation parts of the program and to run it off of a given .txt file premade by the study runners.
Afterward, I, my lab director, and several lab colleagues collaborated in a pilot study for my experiment. I had addressed several issues from the previous pilot study. We experienced many more issues and solved some of them; we will have run another pilot study in the next couple days to work out and discover more issues as we go along.
This day I worked on the Rule-Learning task presenter program. It was much easier to make it read in from a file than procedurally generate epochs. I finished the whole from-reading-in-to-showing-out program aspect, which is all of what is new for this project from the n-back project.
Afterward, I finally got my two Unity projects onto the lab's GitHub repository. My director really wanted my work to get there, and there it is.
This day I worked on and finished what is at least the first draft of the Rule-Learning task presenter program. I will be demonstrating it at this week's lab-wide weekly "what did you do this week?" meeting later today.
Afterward, I attended the lab-wide weekly "what did you do this week?" meeting. I presented on the pilot study I conducted with lab colleagues and on the Rule-Learning Presenter program I had made.
