# You are McGurk

no, but much of my phd was based on certain tenets of Mr. McGurk. I feel like I know the guy.

(and the snippet of info about dB increase is from a 1954 article by Sumby & Polack)

# Oh a proper Doc
Wareham and Wrights work is interesting - its on recalling crime 'Earwitnesses' they called them

I know a bit about the earwitness stuff, there's really not as large an amount of overlap between unimodal and multimodal research. Hence, why I know such a lot about McGurk. It's not really directly to do with my research, but it's one of the few things that is kind of similar, within multimodal perception.

What you doing your OU degree in? Bachelor or Masters? My dad did a masters in management with OU a few years ago, which took 6 years. Yours the same type of thing?

# BSc hons Psychology
It's a good course with excellent tutors including Toates for Biology of Psych, but they seem strong in IT and mgt courses from friends experience. I have 100 points to go.

Right now I have Royal Society lecture on Mapping memory: the brains behind remembering followed by Talent and Autism, good resource and well put together.

You still doing research?

# Ah, yes, I thought you did psych actually. Excellent, sounds like a much wider-ranging degree than I was able to have at uni.
Yep, did my phd in germany, still there, in the office "researching" :D we're hosting a conference in a couple of weeks which will be shit.

Trying to finish articles just now, and I've been banned from doing new stuff until I get my current stuff published. My prof has mixed feelings about my passion for active research and my lack of excitement for writing results up. I need to try and find a way of making the write up relatively quick and painless. I hate spending too long on old stuff.

All the best with it, sir.
