Do you know the phenomenon named typoglycemia? When humans read a text, they can read it smoothly if the first and last characters of words are fixed, even though the middle characters are scrambled. That phenomenon is known as typoglycemia.
A research team in our laboratory used the open-source software tool Twine and some Python scripts to build a platform to test the correlation between the complexity of the typoglycemified text and humans' cognitive levels.
In this talk, I would like to explain the following: 1. The typoglycemia phenomenon; 2. Defining the typoglycemia-complexity metrics (typoglycemia level); 3. How we built the experiment system using OSS tools; 4. The results of the experiment and how we analyzed the results.
Our experiment's essential novelty and fundamental idea is that we defined the typoglycemia metrics. There are several studies on this topic, whereas no investigations have suggested the complexities of the typoglycemified text so far. We also provided all the tools as open-source tools, which can be accessed on GitHub. Then, you can experiment to confirm the results.
Anyone attending COSCUP, especially those interested in the OSS usage in human research.
