CS295J/Week 5.11
< CS295J
tuesday class notes
- remaining papers from Thursday
- continue to build on project ideas
- what are the next steps?
- draft or storyboard a usage scenario of a brain scientist using "the tool"
- critique a few revision comments
- pair up to work on some
- critique the changes
- feedback on class
- superficial paper discussions, going too fast; do some in more depth?
- maybe too much breadth -- connect back to a theme (or a few?)
thursday class notes
- Theory: implications for HCI
- leading Russian psychology approach
- should HCI progress be as fast as technological progress?
- “Computer supported cooperative work" (C S C W)
- this seems like a whole other set of literature
- object exist, not just as affordances
- actions, goals, motives -- frustration higher as each is blocked
- six inter-related principles: mind/environment, objects, hierarchical-, internalization-externalization, mediation, development
- I like the "other tools than computers" aspect, including social
- HCI methods (theories?) are "inevitably obsolete soon after they are formulated"
- I would like more concrete examples
- Spanning seven orders of magnitude: a challenge for cognitive modeling
- 2002
- educational application: applicable to analysis?
- Biological, Cognitive, Rational, Social: 10ms to 10hrs
- Theses: Decomposition, Relevance (don't use quantum for bridges), Modeling, unit-task level useful
- need more work to establish relevance and modeling theses at lower levels (as of 2002)
- accessible writing
- observed tendency of humans to break things up into pieces of different sizes. interesting paper from last year talked about a bunching of tasks into units of attention, some number of minutes around 10 -- might have been 7 or 17 or 12?
- EPIC, SOAR, ACT-R/PM
- high-density sensing
- “read the error message”
- the scary ambiguity of low level action and how it correlates to higher level intent -- BIG RISK -- can we ameliorate/demo? understand better?
- An Insight-Based Methodology for Evaluating Bioinformatics Visualizations
- what kind of projects should we do?
- recording and analysis of Eni using diffusion tract tools
- others did other similar ethnographic projects
- other user analyses: e-mail (low level, but decamp&modeling?)
- longer projects from last class (check on wiki)
- recording and analysis of Eni using diffusion tract tools
- 50-day Project criteria
- logical chain connecting it to brain science and connectivity and interaction and cognition
- scope
- research contribution AND/OR demonstration of feasibility or risk reduction
- critique a few revision comments
- concrete things to do
- 5-day project -- watch a few people do something potentially analogous
- draft proposal for a 50-day project
- yes, we are somewhat clueless, but that is how research is sometimes
