This is important for creating controlled #stimuli in #PsycholinguisticStudies. There is no single "correct" population providing the "best" iconicity ratings. Instead, context and target populations really matter! So, careful what you base your control variables on.

Intelligent behavior includes the ability to respond selectively to stimuli with higher value. This study reveals where and how in the murine neural hierarchy the transition from a map of stimulus location to a map of stimulus value occurs.

I recently got a question about some nice 3D humanoid stimuli we used in an old study, which came from the university technical department at the time. But they're really easy to make yourself independently if you don't have such a department!
A nice intro-tutoral on posing 3D models in Blender here: https://rhkibria.medium.com/how-to-pose-human-figures-with-blender-without-prior-experience-a421f72047ab.
And there are places shop for pre-made, posable models, e.g., https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/man/modular-military

Anthocyanins are important health-promoting pigments that contribute significantly to the nutritional and commercial value of fruits. The anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway is well understood and the key regulatory genes controlling the pathway have been identified in fruits. Anthocyanin accumulation is controlled by developmental, environmental and hormonal cues. Understanding the molecular mechanisms will provide a theoretical basis for genetic improvement and breeding of anthocyanin-enriched fruits.
I'm hoping somebody can advise me, or point me in the direction of advice. Apologies in advance that this post is a bit long, all-over-the-place, and hashtag-heavy. I really don't know what I'm doing. 😂
What I'm trying to do is make MIDI renditions of music that sound pretty good. For myself as a composer, and for stimuli in music cognition research.
My first problem: I need to commit to a DAW and learn how to use it well. I used Logic in my undergrad, but I do not have a Mac and no longer have access to it. I have Mixbus from a music recording class, but it doesn't seem ideal for MIDI-based projects. I have MuseScore 4, but I haven't learned what it can (and can't) do yet.
My second problem: I want to use high-quality sample libraries, but I do not know how to get started.
I like open source, but I am not at all opposed to paying for software and sample libraries. Or buying new hardware. I just don't want to pay for things that aren't going to be useful for me (I also prefer one-time fees to ongoing subscriptions). Windows or Linux.

@shaun I find people generally #stressful, in addition to other factors like #sounds, #overlapping #speech, etc. While I enjoy interacting with people, the circumstances are stressful/ #draining. Online #community is very helpful, since it avoids the triggers. But it does lack other positive #stimuli.
The joys of being #neurodivergent and #actuallyautistic ! 🤣🎉
