I just realized I have lost the ability to simply read and enjoy. I have to constantly quiz myself on what I read or criticize the content. Does anyone else suffer from this curse? Any solutions?

Or even way before that: when the experiments are being designed and analyses begin to be decided. These days delegating experimental design and analysis to AI is not uncommon.

This project was part of my MSc thesis at @westernu.bsky.social, aiming to clarify the strengths and limitations of the AudioDome, laying the foundation for future experiments at @westernuwin.bsky.social. To support continued work in this area, we’ve made both /4

We found that low-frequency sounds are reproduced with high focality, accurately simulating location. However, spectral distortions in higher frequencies disrupt elevation cues, leading to misperceived sound source position. /3

In this study we investigated how well the ninth-order ambisonics algorithm, implemented via the AudioDome (a loudspeaker array at the Center for Brain and Mind), can reproduce spatial soundscapes for human perception research. /2
