The past week or so I've been chipping away at finishing the annotations on the speech videos. There were a couple things that slowed the process down. One of the main delayers was it took quite a while to get files of when the electrodes shocked my brain. I had to watch a lot of videos to try and find the ones that we were looking for. While tedious it was kind of cool to look back on all of the tests that they ran on me that I hadn't seen in a while. I think the best videos are from when I was watching South Park. Even though I was struggling in the hospital, I still laughed at all of the fart jokes. Anyways, after I found the correct files with the videos we had to run the brain wave files through several file type transitions so that they could be seen and analyzed on Praat. Thankfully all of this is pretty much done so I'll be able to finish the annotations pretty quickly. Once the annotated ELAN files are finished, we can plug the data into a MatLab function and get some good brain images to show the data.
Life outside of the lab has been awesome! This past weekend I drove myself up to Squaw Valley for two hard skiing days. It's been a crazy year in snowfall in California, Squaw's snow base was over 200 inches. Thankfully, I got to stay at a family friend's house for free.

Ha! Well, working in a school, I find that kind of humor tends to be universally appealing.
