Highlight of the Day:
A little meeting with Joo-Hyun at her place in the afternoon! She is so supportive and cheerful! Bertram, Joo-Hyun and I have long been discussing about doing collaborative research on vision & social cognition (maybe intentionality), and I'm so glad that we finally got time to meet each other! Joo-Hyun and I had a nice talk for the graduate school interview when I was in Ghana, but it was so good to meet her in person!
It was great to find us holding the same research philosophy towards
1) comparing theories in crowded fields vs. creating new big questions
2) be BRAVE! Try your ideas out!
3) Find your true love during PH.D. study.
I'll definitely come back to her and know more about what is going on in vision science -- I miss vision a lot!
A little background information --
Joo-Hyun is a newly arrived faculty member at CLPS, Brown, who does research on visual perception, cognition, and action.
I could meet Joo-Hyun earlier in this semester, if only she has not been injured by a traffic accident! She plans to give us a seminar on visual cognition & perception, attention, consciousness/unconsciousness, etc. in this semester -- how exciting the discussion seems to be!
But now, her doctor urges her to take good rest at home and don't do mental work. What a pity!
Fortunately, she's getting much better. Best wishes to her recovery :)
Links of the day:
I played for a good while with the Neuroscience Academic Family Tree today. An interesting website to track people's academic genealogy .
I found the Human Motion Recognition Database today on Serre's lab page. There're lots of human interactive behaviors as well. Just FYI.
Speaking of behavior database, I found earlier that Bertram also has a quite interesting database with lots of high-quality, mostly human-interaction, intentional/unintentional behavior video clips. Besides, I used to play around at CMU's Motion Capture Database, which is sorted by action category. Hongjing Lu at UCLA also did some research on action understanding with this database, and the paper is recently published. I read it in last December and find this research quite interesting!
