My favorite quote today:
“Inquiry among my colleagues suggests that this befuddled state following the reading of a research literature review is not peculiar to me, or even a minority of faculty in a first-class psychology department, but is so frequent as to be almost the norm. Why is this? This […]

What is “parental business”, anyway?

Took me quite a while. For some reason the ImageMagick installation did not install PerlMagick in the right directory (or I might have installed ActiveState Perl afterwards).
Tried to install PerlMagick using PPM. Need to do something like
PPM> install “c:\imagemagick\perlmagick\Image-Magick.ppm”
But then when I tried to load it, Perl complained that the Object version […]

Original Title:
Python examples writen with PyLink generate segmentation fault if one tries to run it again without quitting the same Python interpter (at least for the case of PythonWin. I suspected it had to do with the eyelink DLL lacking reentry support.
So I wrote this minimal eyelink test, which disapproved my hypothesis. […]

Kenneth S. Pope, Ph.D., ABPP
Here are 18 logical fallacies. Weve all probably fallen for them — and perhaps used them — from time to time.
Articles in other sections of this web site examine logical fallacies in more detail […]

Simple and complex characters may be represented at different levels, but only when doing this task? The hierarchical nature of Chinese characters would suggest that more complex characters are represented at a different level from less complex characters.

HW surface is fast (duh…)
Blitting from SW surface to HW surface (or anything else) is slow. With 800*600*16, 120Hz refresh rate, 500 fullscreen blit()s take about 5.9 seconds, way more than the 500/120=4.17 seconds. All the extra time means missed retraces.
Blitting from HWSurface to HWSurface takes no […]

Original Title: What is a .pyd file
PyGame has many PYD files instead of the .py source files for critical parts of the package, such as display.pyd.
I had hoped to create multiple hardware surfaces in SDL, but after checking SDL source code for SVGA, it looks like additional HWSURFACE (other than the main, […]

Finishing up some tests I did before going home. The problem was that my shiftScreen code (see below) runs too slow. It takes 26ms, which means it (a) misses 14 samples from EyeLink, and (b) it often misses the saccade deadline. The problem turns out to be the usual suspect […]

Tags: After playing with resolution/refresh rates, I found out that, after all, SDL uses the system default refresh rate. I had to manually set it to 120Hz in the Display Properties control panel. Then SDL/PyGame/Pylink works at 120Hz.
Also, to my surprise, I cannot change any display settings using my programs after SDL is initialized, otherwise […]
