Did a session of my psychology research participation today. it is about audio-visual speech recognition. it is proven that we understand sentences better given both audio and visual components, instead of just audio components alone. The study seeks to determine whether an exageration effect, 'in-noise' visual speech improves the understanding of auditory speech as compared to 'in-quiet' visual speech.
i had to complete a computerized task in a quiet room. there would be a picture of a person's face flashed on the screen, and an audio of a sentence he said, coupled with noisy background noise. then i was supposed to type out what he said. this was repeated many times, some with a still face flashed on the screen, some with a man's face talking normally ('in-quiet' ie. not exaggerated). sometimes it's another guy's face with exaggerated facial movements as he speaks ('in-noise' ie. as if he is speaking loudly in a crowded place). yep, those i couldn't make out any word at all were when there was only audio speech. anyway i was a lil distracted by the face on the screen initially (not tt the male faces were attractive) coz their faces had attached many wires all over, as if to track the movements of all facial muscles. yep. haha. anyway the researcher was shocked i finished it so fast. she said i finished it the fastest she's ever come across. haha. i dunno. quite easy wat. there's no need to think. just type out whatever u hear tts all.
black pepper beef hor fun!! yummy! mushrooms, baby pak choy (tt's what's written on the label. it's just the usual green leafy veg), brocolli, carrots and beef. i added beef stock to the gravy which comprised of water and cornflour. added black pepper, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, ginger and garlic. ooooh yum! wanted to add egg to make the egg gravy. but i figured there's already so many ingredients. haha.
yep, Clement asked how come everything i cook tastes delicious. besides trusting my comment that it actually is delicious(obviously it is), the main reason is that my intelligence and capabilities extend to my cooking as well. hahaha.
Had running training at 6pm. it was good. i ran hard. main set was 3x(7min fast,5min float/jog). as usual, i enjoy talking to my teammates alot. they're all so friendly!! yep, oh and iylia (he's from the S'pore Students' Society) asked me to go for the S'pore national day celebration at some bar along Flinders Street tmr night. Melvin asked me to go also so yep, i'll be there, hopefully in red and white (if i can find...) haha.
ok gotta do my subject readings now. ciao.
