What happened tonight is an example of how poor communication of data can be dangerous. 1/5

An "equation" that will never give a value between 1 and 5. 3/5

A united kingdom that is clearly anything but united.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended our #SIPS2022 workshop on "Shareable, Reusable Experiments in @psychopy and Pavlovia.org"

Our tips - in a thread!🧵👇 Image
1. Use an Experiment Builder.

Even confident coders can code experiments that are not very easy for others to use.

I've certainly made things even future me can't follow!

Using a builder interface makes it easier for others to follow your experimental flow. Image
2. Share it!

The pavlovia ecosystem has THOUSANDS of pre-created studies. If you're not sure where to start, search "demos" for tasks created and maintained by the PsychoPy team. Image

VERY simple edit to @ThomasPronk123 eye tracking demo in @psychopy

Total knowledge needed: where to copy and paste one line of JS code in builder view



Yes I am in bed 😴
OK let's be more specific here to help others make mods... in 5 steps..
1.I fork and clone Thomas’s project using the details found on this link pavlovia.org/docs/experimen…. I have a play to check it works. Basic mode is a square moves on screen relative to eye position.

Can we follow this by rating these "cat with laptop" stock ims? shorturl.at/nLR29

1. This #cat is waiting patiently behind the laptop screen 1/10

#CatsOfTwitter #AcademicChatter

PS. working @ home with cats obviously ≠ working with kids. Just brightening up a Monday! Image
2. This cat is a bit more "curious" ... but seems to understand boundaries. No buttons are being pressed. 4/10 Image
3. This cat is a D***. 8/10 Image

What does a nerd do when they should have been enjoying their birthday @imrf2020 tomorrow?

Attempt to make a Sound-Induced Flash Illusion to the beat of Happy Birthday of course!

[curious if this works, may need adjustments]
#Multisensory #IMRF2020 #Illusion
🤞we get to hear from our fantastic symposium line up in Oct to hear all about the SIFI! @drjuliankeil @_FrancescaFerri @david_i_shore and those not on Twitter Ladan Shams and Uta Noppeney #IMRF2020
To preregister my hypothesis: I suspect people should be more susceptible to these illusions when the temporal statistics of the auditory signal is predictable and known. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16272880/

Anyone else finding it 1000%* easier to focus on work whilst standing vs. sitting?

Can we get a thread of studies on the impact of standing vs. sitting on various cognitive tasks.
#AcademicChatter #Psychology #PsychResearch
*hypothetical stat
I'll start "Stand by Your Stroop: Standing Up Enhances Selective Attention and Cognitive Control" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
Slightly different one with my fav task: "A standing posture is associated with increased susceptibility
to the sound‑induced flash illusion in fall‑prone older adults" @ExpBrainRes link.springer.com/article/10.100…
