Interactive Lab

Research ideas you can actually try.

Small browser-based demos connecting my PhD work, visual timing, reading instability and ProtocolDock-style research workflows. They are not formal experiments, but they show the logic behind the work.

Demos

Three interactive pieces

Each demo is deliberately lightweight, self-contained and relevant to the academic site rather than a random game bolted onto it.

Demo 01

Gaze Timing Challenge

A simplified two-interval timing task. Watch the eyes. After both direct-gaze events, choose whether the first or second direct gaze lasted longer.

Can you detect the longer direct gaze? 12 trials, immediate feedback at the end.

ProtocolDock Workflow Builder

A compact workflow game. Select the tiles in the order that creates a defensible research workflow: setup, screening, consent, task, collection, export, writing and governance.

Build the cleanest route from idea to output Click tiles to add them to your workflow. The system scores order, completeness and governance coverage.

Demo 03

Visual Instability Reader

A simple reading demo inspired by gaze-contingent visual instability work. Toggle the disturbance level and compare how stable versus unstable text feels.

Reading under simulated visual instability The text shifts while you read. This is only illustrative, not a faithful eye-tracking replay.
Stable

Research writing often assumes that the visual world is stable, but reading depends on rapid eye movements and brief disruptions. If the text is displaced at the wrong moment, the reader may need additional fixations, longer processing time, or a different compensatory strategy to keep the sentence coherent.

Context

Why these demos belong here

The demos are designed as portfolio artefacts. They show timing, task logic, workflow design, browser interaction, and research communication in a way that a static CV cannot.

The gaze task connects to my PhD. The reading demo connects to visual instability work. The workflow builder connects to ProtocolDock as research infrastructure.
