As you can see, this was no ordinary day for me. Last week I participated in a study at my school on language acquisition. I have been taking Spanish for about a year, which is the language that they are focusing on, and thought that participating in this study would be a little bit of fun. I was connected to this machine which was measuring my brainwaves as I answered questions in Spanish. I had to remain very still because the machine would pick up any facial or head movements and confound the brainwave signal. After about 2 hours in that cap, my head was tired. I had just taken a Spanish test that morning and was in the research lab for another 4.5 hours, needless to say I was Spanish-fatigued and ready for a long nap!
Despite all the time and effort, it was pretty cool!
