PBL - 12

Busy busy week researching on heart valves. Had an interesting PBL meeting with Dr Leo.

Back to PBL1, had meeting today with Yixiang, Lei Yang, and Ni Jun. Yixiang volunteered to do the introduction. I had no problem with that. Everyone else agreed as well.

We spent half-an-hour trying to understand what the feedback component is doing in the system. None of us we clear about it. I wonderful if it really can be that useful. Yixiang came up with a 4-digit binary code system to control the feedback. I wonder if that's what the Swiss duo think about how the feedback works in ImaginMove.

We decided a few things on what content should be included in Yixiang's presentation. He wanted me to send him a few intro slides (which i did for the 3rd PBL meeting with Prof Yu), wanted Lei Yang to send a few slides on Freehand. He wanted animation/videos of hand flexion/extensions. Ni Jun showed him the animations which i gave to Ni Jun on last last monday (3rd oct). I suggested that i will ask Prof Peter Lee if he has some biomechanics or physiology videos of hand grasping.

As i am not presenting for PBL1, i recommended that those who are not presenting for PBL1 should present for PBL2 so that no one is left out. Ni Jun didn't like the idea, but he had to agree to it finally. Lei Yang was also ok with the idea.

So, it is decided that Yixiang and Zhang Liang will present for PBL1. Ni Jun, Lei Yang and myself will present for PBL2. I wonder who between the Swiss duo will present for PBL1 and PBL2.
