Richard: a quick reply before I have to leave for home.
1. Jill is, I believe, on holoday all this week -- obvious implications
for finishing things.
2. Jana has not been in contact today although I asked her to phone/email
me, so perhpas she's away too.
3. Sebastian and I are still analysing UCL perc data. We can make some
progress before we hear from Jill and jana, but possibly not all we'd like
to, so we may not be able to get the results to you by end of week.
4. But the results so far have encouraged us to do a naturalness test on
her stimuli (a preference test), which we have designed today, but of
course not run yet. It should be rather short to run, and quick to analyse
(unlike the first test). But, things as they are, I can;t guarantee when
it will be done. Perhpas by end of next week if we're really lucky.
5. My lab is out of action Sept 9-13 minimally (I think), as it is
moving.
All the above factors mean that it is not going to be easy to finish paper
by end of week even if we omit perceptual data. I myself would prefer to
include it. What does that mean for you finishing the paper? Does it mean
someone else should take it over, say at the end of this week? (I could,
as I'm on sabbatical, though it would not be my preference to do so. Any
other takers?)
5. Given that we have presumably to spend a little more time on it, owing
to Jill being away this week (and then Mark's in Budapest, of course):
(a) do you want any more resonance data? I would have thought we could
manage without it, but am willing to add some
(b) we also have to discuss the new grant proposal. I think we hoped
that would be written in Spetember. Is that likely to happen now?
sorry this is a bit terse
