Information processes of task-switching and modality-shifting across development
No full textData for a cross-modal task-switching experiment published with the title: 'Information processes of task-switching and modality-shifting across development'.
Mean reaction time and accuracy scores were recorded while participants took part in a novel computerised audio-visual task-switching and modality-switching task. Participants were 4-year-old, 6-year-olds and adults
Set-Shifting and Place-Keeping as Separable Control Processes: Three experiments
No full textWe present data from three experiments using a sequential binary choice task that explore the relationship between two
proposed cognitive control functions: set-shifting and place-keeping (i.e., keeping track of one’s place within a
sequential task). The task involves switching from one stimulus-response mapping to another across trials, according
to a predefined sequence and in the face of occasional brief interruptions. Response-stimulus interval, interruption
length and interrupting task were varied. In each study, response time, sequential error type and interruption accuracy were recorded

The control of visual object selection by attentional templates -Experimental data
No full textThis data collection contains the behavioural and EEG data from the main experiments conducted in this research project. Human visual perception is strongly affected by current expectations and intentions. What is perceived is determined by what is attended, and what is attended is determined by images in the mind that guide attention in line with active goals and preferences. This project uses new experimental procedures and methodological techniques (including temporally precise measures of electrical brain activity) to investigate how many things can be attended at any time, and to study the adverse consequences of having to simultaneously attend to multiple objects in perception, visual working memory, and action. Are there systematic differences between individuals in their ability to attend to more than one thing at a time? New methods will be developed to obtain precise measures of the speed of voluntary visual attention shifts: If attention is engaged at a particular location, how fast can it be moved to a new potentially relevant object? Initial results suggest that the top-down guidance of attention is faster and more flexible than usually assumed, and the project will test whether and under which circumstances this is the case. Experimental results will have important consequences for current theoretical models of how attention operates

JSON-Encoded Textual Variance Between the Published Versions of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas in "An Orison of Sonmi ~451"
No full textThis dataset represents my work to interpret the variances between the two published editions of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas as described in Martin Paul Eve, '"You have to keep track of your changes": The Version Variants and Publishing History of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas', Open Library of Humanities, 2(1), http://dx.doi.org/10.16995/olh.82. It was created through a hermeneutic process of cross-comparing the different texts and then marked-up in JSON by hand. Potential re-uses include corrections, further visualization, digital-humanities teaching, and structural analysis
Birkbeck-Jerwood Space London Rehearsal Room Survey 2016
Full text linkRecognising how difficult it is to find cheap and suitable rehearsal spaces in London, and the effect that may have on the viability and finances of many unfunded fringe productions, on behalf of the Centre for Contemporary Theatre I successfully applied to the Higher Education Investment Fund (HEIF) to fund the theatre director Tom Mansfield to undertake the research and to compile the first survey of rehearsal and audition rooms in London in May 2013.
In 2015 the Jerwood Space enquired if this survey would be updated. We then jointly commissioned Tom Mansfield to update the survey in 2016. This survey has been distributed, free, to over 1,000 theatre directors and producers.
The PDF document, in a linked entry, provides a narrative overview of the range and cost of spaces in London and then presents lists of over 300 spaces, ordered by rate per hour, per day, per week, and per square metre. The Excel spreadsheet, attached here, presents this information in a different format and provides the addresses and other contact details for each space.
You may download these documents for free; please feel free to pass on the documents to any theatre-makers you think may benefit from this survey
