Feel so lucky for having 4-month experience working together with researchers in Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. :D Not deeply involved to use high-tech Eye Tracking Equipment and others experiment stuff, but exciting enough to sit in front of an Apple in the 3rd floor to collect as many as stimuli which would be used for the experiment in guidance of a doctor and a researcher as well from Belgium. Reading journals regarding it.
And I would never ever again think that it was a piece of cake in searching thousand pictures for the stimuli, so many steps to do in order to make it sufficient for becoming the final stimuli. How would you describe two or more different objects which semantically different but your brain was insisted to set and move those objects in 360 degrees just to find the best angle to make those things look similar. Yup! More challenging by learning using new software and meeting new smart friendly buddies, having a chat in coffee break, and laughing a lot in pantry at lunch. Or pushing the 50 cents into the vending machine for a cup of Douwe Egberts (with more sugar and cream of course) when my eyes demanded it.
And then? It's beyond my dream to say hello, sitting in the same room, listening to his lecture, writing the paper under his instruction, and silently staring at him while having standing discussion with other researchers after one's doctoral defense. Isn't it too much for a new learner like me to work, eat, and share so many unforgettable moments in the very scientific environment together with Stephen Levinson, Nick Enfield, Penelope Brown, Marianne Gullberg, Leah Roberts, and other top researchers in linguistics (specifically in psycholinguistics)?
That's why I told you that I feel so LUCKY..! SO MUCH...!!!!
