Wow, I'm impressed by your responses and your dedication to finding data. But to be honest, it's a little scary: you're either crazy-rich or richly crazy. If your rich, cool. But $100/data point is quite a bit. For my current experiment, I'm using colleagues and coworkers, who just get their regular salary (I don't pay), but when I use the subject database (mostly students), my grant pays about $10/hour. In my current expt I get about 176 data points/hour.My initial offer has always been $100 to charity of the claimants choosing.
No one to date taking up the offer is simply a hard data point even after back and forth about weaknesses and answering questions (such as offering a web cam on the burn in apparatus that could be checked on in real-time during the burn in process).
I don't think you are being fair W.R.T to 'hostile'. I'm openly critical of people that don't apply critical thinking to what they are actually saying, that will not consider the view point that burned in cabling is meaningless in the context of use = burn-in in the course of listening.
Yes really. It's data I'm after. Remember it could be 1 out of 1 answers or 1 out of 50.
Perhaps I'm picking nits. But removing sight from a listening test removes one or more variables. But removing sight from the McGurk Effect, a multisensory integration effect, destroys the multisensory nature of it, and therefore simply makes the whole thing go away.It removes a variable.
