Project Students Meetings Minutes

Massimiliano Di Luca

Last edited 197 days ago by Massimiliano Di Luca

This document contains a summary of all Max’s meetings with students about their projects. Anybody with the link can make changes and additions. Changes are recorded in the file history. The goal of the document is to record group supervision meetings, so as to inform students who are not able to participate in person of what was discussed.

Psych UG

Present: Max

Students: Maria, Shatha, Lily, Tarun (online)

Discussions:

- Coda: students are asked to access coda where they can find information about practical arrangements for their project. File access is set to “write” so that students can make amendments and add information

- Meeting expectations: Students are expected to be present in person at meetings unless any situation arises. If students cannot attend in person they should try to connect on Teams. Not attending meetings delays the project. Students that can’t attend are expected to read the notes on CODA and add a comment on what they cannot understand or if they need any more information. Failing that, they can email Max or the other people in the supervision team but then they should put the information on coda for everybody else.

- Ethics statement: The goal of the statement is to record your reflection about ethical issues in your research and describe how you address them. 1) Consult the papers in your reference list (beginning of the method section). 2)read ethics approvals that the lab has (on the Consent form page on CODA) 3) FOR THE NEXT MEETING, CREATE A LIST of what ethical issues your participants will encounter and think about possible accounts for them 4) once you have finished defining your project and before running any participant, you will need approval by

@Massimiliano Di Luca⁠

of your protocol (see participant recruitment and consent form section).

Updates:

Timing project: literature available,

Maria proposed interviews before and after the data collection but before doing that, Susan and Maria will look at the data already collected with 6 quartets.

Shatha (and Lydia) got literature. Should send a paragraph of what the project is about.

VR project

Lily: Meet today including Tahani (MSc) for the Mars project.

Tarun: interested in neurorehabilitation. Diar shared his PhD intro. Diar to meet independently with Tarun tomorrow

Instructions for leading next meeting: Brainstorm and collect questions to be asked during the meeting For next time it could be preparing material to define the project timeline. Lead the note-taking.

VR project

Present: Max, Diar

Students: Tahani, Lily

November 6, 2023

New idea direction: collect more data on mindfulness that affects interview

Question about sample size to be discussed with Maria

Anxiety from storm

GSR and HRV

is the storm scary enough?

⁠

@Massimiliano Di Luca⁠

TO DO: Find video of mars and link it here

Shatha : How much musical expertise affects sensorimotor synchronization accuracy in ARME simulation task. Cross conditions with either music (Haydn) or tapping synchronization.

November 13, 2023

Maria: met with Maria. Minfulness vs excitement influences time sequence 47 tapping x 10 times. Measurements: mean asynchrony, variability, mean IOI, +/- 1 cross-correlation, alpha

Shatha; musician vs non musician, single note vs haydn piece. Measurements: mean asynchrony, variability, mean IOI, +/- 1 cross-correlation, alpha

Maria and Shatha install the plugin on their laptop and either come to sort installation or record 10 sequences

Tarun: Itching without EEG.

November 20, 2023

Shata: We have discussed the MS Form Ethic quiz and updated the ethics page on coda

Maria: has github for metronome, and Max ok’d method

Lydia: aging and reaction time, meet later to assess what’s the best task, ethics consideration for extended age testing. Will schedule meeting to discuss further

Lily: looking for the mars code repo to add audio

Card still doesn’t work

Tarun: meeting today with Diar today and Stuart. Pursuing pseudohaptic weight with real objects and turntable. Seed paper

https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3290605.3300550⁠

⁠

November 22, 2023

Lydia:Max: spoke about possible projects, and decided to pursue intensity effects on perceived isochrony. Tasks: listen to the psychophysics lecture and take notes about topics not understood, install Matlab on the laptop, read 2 seed papers that Max will provide, and meet with Susan. For Monday come with questions about the project and material provided

Ton, Rico, Diar, Max:

Ton: 100 metronome experiment in unity measuring preference with different alphas

Rico: Realtime score follower with cyolo and perhaps the virtuoso string dataset for retraining

November 24, 2023

Meeting between Ton and Rico and Diar, Maciek and Max

November 27, 2023

Present: Maria, Tarun, Lily, Shatha

Recruitment of Participants:

Send all materials to do with recruitment to supervisor first

Need to pilot first, to identify any problems and gain feedback (2 participants)

Use words such as ‘easy’, ‘fun’, ‘interesting’ to get people to sign up on RPS

1 credit per hour on RPS (work out how many trials you will conduct and this will align with time of the experiment, on average around 200 trials)

Set up study on RPS, just to make sure everything is ready for after the pilot (don't add any time-slots until you have conducted the pilot and are sure you are ready)

Ideally run experiments in test cubicles (3rd, 4th and 5th floor)

Discussion on Projects:

Tarun- Had a project lecture, doing a literature review and working on introduction for dissertation. Going to get the coding done for VR, aims to get participants before Christmas. Meeting with Diar to talk about next steps tomorrow.

Lily- Weekly meetings with Diar. Process of adapting experiment.

Shatha- Downloaded Logicpro. Looking for pilot participants. Using midi device will make better data and timing. Need to conduct in person.

Maria- Looking through Logicpro, and wanting to conduct pilots. Need to collect midi from lab.

*Students who did not attend, please have a clear idea on how long your experiment will take, look at trials etc.*

Monday 4th December

Present: Maria, Lily, Shatha, Tarun, Max, Diar

Maria and Shatha to meet Kyle on Friday if he is COVID negative

Independent discussions between Lily and Diar;

Max, Maria and Shatha finished installing Logic pro and try the nanopad

Tarun and Diar regarding projects and software. Tarun working at software. Needs 3d printing and lazy susan

Lily: working on pilot study by making music track for background. Needs computer to work in lab. Needs to adapt unity project

MSc

Vojta: need a fMRI brain, speak with Maja and Genia, we set up a coda project page

Broken link⁠

⁠

Karthica: Position vs force minification and magnification. Similar to MS3 project by Maya, who Susan Diar Genia helped. Susan has unity files. Lazy susan

Tahani: writing intro, describe the selection process of selecting environments

Yichen Ge: Reading articles and running code, will work more next week

Ton:

@#r31⁠

December 11, 2023

Maria: has run 3 participants. Looking for ethics documents. Trying more to streamline the

Lily: ran a pilot with 4 participants with a face camera with two music but both showed negative face reaction. anxiety was significantly more negative. Looking at time course? Maybe piloting navigating on screen with the camera. 3 minutes tack. need to start using the shimmers.

ALL: Updated information on participant recruitment and Ethics on CODA. Next meeting 18th of December remote only. Look at RPS page in CODA.

January 8, 2024

Max, Diar, Susan

Lily: computer ready for experiment

Tahani: change need meeting to decide which environment to use

Karthika: determine task for participants and whether to ask d

Jhundon: evaluate pupil lab sw (pupilcore manually calibrated or neon with neural networks for calibration) and hw to see if it is usable for application. setting up one of the tools “xr interaction” to use steamvr assets

January 10, 2024

Max, Diar

Tahani & Lily: added a task

January 22, 2024

Kartika: moving from lazy susan to redirection, found HaRT redirection toolkit. Meeting with Diar and Max next week. No deadline to get the student funds of £250 (info on

Tahni: with Lily Diar met to create the environment (one environment only). Nasa task load questionnaire. Stressor. Method section for research method in April. Piloting asap.

Ton: Has few questions about the project. Need to download visual studio. First step Genia to create a MIDI with 10 parts.

Rico: read the article on score following that Diar provided. Laptop computer couldn’t run the code. *rico to provide github

Vojta talked to Diar and email Maja. Genia provided model of the brain.
