Sensory substitution under passive guidance: Effects on proprioceptive acuity and motor performance - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) offer a unique framework for investigating attention, perception, and sensorimotor interactions. While previous studies have examined how the type of stimuli provided by an SSD and the exploration strategy applied during active manipulation affect perception, proprioception, and motor-exploratory performance, these factors have not been explored in the context of passive guidance through an SSD. In this study, we examined how the type of stimuli (modality-spe…

Just set up some new IAQ monitoring stations around the house. Still want to put one in the bedroom to see how stuffy it gets at night with the door closed, but I only had four units so this is what I started with.
Particle counts are Sensirion SEN5x, CO2 and most other atmospheric data SCD4x.
Haven't done any kind of zero cal on the CO2 and they've been sitting around idle for a while, so there's probably a bit of offset that will need to be corrected - the one on th…

I've switched to Nova from VSCode as my primary editor on my Mac. When I made the switch about a month ago, I added this function to my .zshrc:
code () {
echo "use Nova instead \`nova\`, or if you really want VSCode, \`vscode\`"
}
Could I have just pointed a code alias at nova? Sure, but how then would this dummy ever learn?
I hit my function today, first time!
Context: My primary way of open a project to work on it is from my terminal now nova…

yesterday after much anticipation the proper futon arrived. not a squudgy foam foldable thing, a solid extremely firm not very thick actual futon. i only know one place in the uk that makes these. and I slept. i actually slept, and today my back does not feel like it has folds and twists, it's just a column of bones and muscles and nerves all stacked up.
for context, when I used to have travel for work, I would pull the hotel duvet onto the floor and sleep there.

"Monica Lennon, the only prospective candidate for leadership who had anything approaching a coherent plan to bail out and repair #Labour’s rapidly sinking Scottish ship, was well and truly shut out of the contest by the boys’ club...
Now Lennon gets to listen to the guys whose backroom machinations kept her off the ballot preach about the importance of party unity. She must be thrilled …
