[Probcogsci] Clarification and Yu Lab Meeting next week

[Angela Yu]

Dear all,

Thanks to all of you visitors who came to the lab meeting today, we  
really enjoyed your comments and questions.  We had such a long  
discussion about our new experimental data, that we didn't actually  
have a chance to let Michael Mozer talk about his work with Matt.  So  
he will give the talk next Friday instead, 12-1 Natcomp seminar room  
again!  If you wanted to hear him today and couldn't make it, well,  
here's your second chance.  :)  Apparently they also look at how the  
auto-correlation structure in the stimulus sequence itself impacts  
sequential effects (as we examined as well, but in the explicit  
prediction case), but have ERP data to go with it too!

The other thing that I want to clarify is that Crane and I just  
checked our code again and realized that in the final version of the  
experiment we ran, from which all the data came, did not give a motion  
stimulus feedback in the discrimination experiment (with the 7  
coherences).  It was just an auditory beep plus the word "correct" or  
"wrong" on the screen -- we originally planned the motion stimulus  
feedback but took it out in the final version for various reasons.  We  
had a long discussion today in the meeting about whether the motion  
stimulus feedback itself could influence the sequential effect -- that  
is still a good and valid question, but it doesn't actually apply to  
the data I showed you.

Okay, see you all next week.  :)

Angela
