Hi, I forgot to post my blog on Friday, so just ignore the fact that it’s actually Tuesday.

Yesterday we had our final C++ classes. Nick was a really great teacher this week. Although I had already known most of the concepts that came up, I still took some things away from his explanations. 

The art market on Thursday was fun. We spent about 2 hours walking around main street, perusing the shops, and ended up finding a local ice cream shop that served pineapple ice cream. 10/10. By the time the market was over, we were all hungry, so we decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. It was fun until some people completely attacked me for getting the naked chicken strips…clearly they don’t have taste :/

During a break between lunch and class, Harrison, Sophie, and I were able to make a bit of progress on Psychopy, which is the open source software package that we’ll use to conduct behavioral experiments in the lab. None of us had any experience with this package, so we had to spend some time watching some tutorials and messing around with it before we got it working on our machines. This code that we ran on Psychopy is the trivia game that each participant will play while they are wearing the 64-electrode cap to measure their EEG signals during curious states.

Our meeting with Aron on Thursday went really well. Aron isn’t as familiar with programming as Harrison, Sophie, and I are, so the three of us are tasked with finding ways to utilize python to do what we need to do efficiently. 

Last night, we all got together to watch Memento (the movie that Chu Chu has been wanting us to watch since last week). I thought it was pretty good. If you’re looking for a mind game thriller type movie, I’d recommend.
