For the first time since fall, we have a full week weather forecast with all of the highs being above freezing. It might be a spring of deception, but I will take it! I am looking forward to being able to run on my favourite trail again without having to put most of my energy into footing and balance on a shifting terrain of snow and ice. #nlwx

I have collected data from 60 participants over the last two days, and the preliminary data analysis looks really good. Overall, participants are performing as hypothesized or better. I suspected that the study I am basing this study on underestimated the ability of people without musical training to do this task (or a similar one), and it appears that I was right! They’re doing even better than I expected.

I feel like I should be feeling really energetic and motivated right now because of how well this research is coming. In truth, I feel tired and weary. It’s been a long road to get here, and there is still a lot of work to go. A lot more data analysis, a lot a lot of writing, finishing designing the follow-up experiment, run that and analyse that data, more writing, rewriting, revisions, before I can get to a thesis defense or a graduation. I’m excited about the project, but I guess the stress is catching up to me.

@britt Wow! Our highest high is 6C, and that’s Tuesday. Technically Sunday is a high of 0C with snow, but it’s not a negative number and it could still change . . . today is high of 2C, tomorrow is up to 5C, Saturday is 3C with chance of rain or snow.

@Klara@drupal.community There is a lot of evidence that timbre differences make it easier to separate musical “streams” or “objects,” and I am curious to see *how much* easier it makes this task.

Very preliminary data analysis seems to be showing that people, regardless of musical training, are able to count up to 3 pretty well, and accuracy drops considerably for 4 and even more for 5, and it drops a bit less for people with musical training than those without. #VoiceDenumerability

@SarraceniaWilds @mayintoronto I usually forget about the wind. Mosquitoes and how it gets so cold that my cousins used to have to spend more time putting on the warm winter gear than it took them to walk across the street to their elementary school.

@Klara@drupal.community Great question, I left that part out but it is a key part of my study. The instruments are not identical because the range of the musical excerpts is too wide, but I tried to make the timbres similar enough to seem the same. I used fugues by Bach and Musescore MIDI instrument sounds for five different instrument timbres, and in this experiment all of the instruments in a given trial were the same general instrument timbre. My follow up study will have the same musical examples but mix up the timbres, so that no two instruments in a given trial have the same instrument timbre.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits. Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran. It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay. It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the governmen

This is one of those major transition moments. This week marks the end of a life and the beginning of a new life stage. :blobheart:
