Cat Hicksoh my fking god. I am TRYING to do research for my book right now but I am getting DISTRACTED by the fact that I followed a citation from a paper into another paper and learned that they're interpreting EEG and eyetracking as a way to sort people into "in the flow" or "not in the flow" I AM GOING TO EFFING LOSE IT
I love that this was published in the same overall goddamn umbrella organization that sent me reviewers that said my work had "too much psychology" cited in it I AM. GOING. TO. LOSE. IT.
eyeblinks as a measure of frustration? I'm going to throw my entire laptop into the ocean
this is UNCRITICALLY cited in a BIG paper with NO reference to it being a biometrics study AT ALL
I mean. Can we measure things with EEG and with eyetracking, yes we can. Can we detect different kinds of waves yes we can. Do blinks correlate with something, I don't know, probably. This is all just so effing strange.
how is engineering the most critical field with the LEAST critical research I've ever seen. Do you guys just think if something is published in Fuck All Journal, 2024, that makes it good?
Dan Sugalski@grimalkina hey, this is computer science! We’re *trained* not to follow pointers and references, they may be null and we’d all segfault!
@wordshaper I have no doubt this is really funny (to y'all) 🥰
