This morning was the last day of boot camp in which the interns would learn everything they needed to know for the rest of the summer. Because of the day before Jeff posted a safety word (n prime) in case we got terribly and inexplicably off track so as to lose as little time as possible. We got off onto minor tangents but I personally never said the safety word because I enjoy these tangents and think they are informative and fun. After boot camp was finished we got free pizza and drinks in celebration. We met up in the lab upstairs where we preformed several test experiments with the SMI. We ran one with Jeff there and then one we preformed ourselves. We decided to send off each person to get pictures none of the others had seen and then upload them for eye tracking. We were able to play around with the data and grasp a firmer understanding of how to use the software and the information it had to offer.
