So, I'm getting ready to present my prelim on Friday. If you've ever seen me post, you know I think in jargon. It works pretty well until you have to convince a committee of bored old men with better things to do and better places to be that they should let you call yourself a PhD candidate and graduate in a year or so.
I'm presenting on inverting models of the arm to get at what people actually wanted to do during a reaching movement, not what they did. The results are kind of cool because it looks like movement breaks down into just a single "lump" that gets scaled and stretched and combined to build all of the crazy complexity we can do with our arms. So, if you're even morbidly curious as to what Duck does for a living and whether or not he really understands how to use math to break down very complex things, come check it out.
I've got a google+ hangout up. Feel free to drop by any time tonight.
