The next project presentation will be held on Thursday, 18 June at 3pm
in Room 305 of 26 Bedford Way. At the moment, the only thing on the
agenda is an update of recent hardware changes at BUCNI by Marty.
This will include the status of the new 32-channel head coil.
In general, I haven't been scheduling any project presentations
because I haven't received any project proposals. I wonder, however,
whether people simply aren't sending their proposals until they see a
presentation meeting? In the future, once your proposal is ready,
please send it to me so I know to schedule a meeting.
Also, when giving a project presentation, could everyone please be
sure to:
1. Minimize background. Explaining the question to be answered is
sufficient. Background can be kept to at most 1 slide and no more
than 1 min. It's not that we don't find it interesting and important,
but the aim of the presentations is to provide constructive feedback
on the experimental design so that should be the main focus.
2. Include a graphic of the experimental timeline. It should
illustrate the stimuli and task, make it clear whether the experiment
is event related, blocked or mixed, what the baseline condition(s)
are, and whether there is temporal jitter between events. This is
probably the single most useful part of the presentation.
3. Explain how the results of the experimental design will answer the
original question. For instance, a supra-additive interaction between
auditory speech quality and a visually presented moving mouth with
reveal audio-visual integration areas.
4. Stick to 3 content slides and a maximum of 5 mins of talking.
There will be a timer to help people keep to time. Also, lots of
fancy animation designed to get more information per slide should be
avoided.
Finally, you will be asked to provide your slides at least 24hr before
the meeting so they can be checked and put onto a single computer to
facilitate the transitions.
Thanks!
Joe
