Last night, Sophie, Harrison, and I started our literature review draft. Writing this paper is starting to feel like one of the harder things we\u2019ve had to do this summer as a team because we all have different writing styles. At first we tried to just talk all together, and I would write the ideas down, but we quickly realized that wasn\u2019t going to work when we spent about half an hour on 2 sentences. Instead, we decided to divide and conquer, so each of us took responsibility for writing 2 sections from the outline, and then we\u2019d come back together later and make adjustments as needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we spent our morning working on our literature review, going over what each of us wrote. I think this worked well, and we were able to compose a rough draft. It needs work, of course, but it\u2019s something. I feel like this experience, especially this past 24 hours, has highlighted things that we need to work on as a team. I know little hiccups are bound to happen during team projects in a faster paced environment, but what matters is that we all want to figure out how to work together better and communicate more efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After lunch, we went to the EEG lab with Andrea today because she was willing to get hooked up to the machines for our experiment. We saw the cleanest looking signals since we started this process, so that was pretty cool. We\u2019re still having some IT trouble though, so we\u2019re not yet at a point where we can start collecting pilot data (as opposed to test run data). Time is becoming more of a concern now, because we need to keep rolling on other things, like analyzing the EEG data and working with the Muse headset and the virtual environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we got out for the day, I headed to the gym for a little bit, and then later tonight we’re going to go get froyo because it’s $5 fill your cup day!!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
