Draft:Terms of orientation
Having consulted with the maths people about this, I have been enlightened to the fact that the most basic concepts of orientation (i.e., that objects have a top, bottom, front, back, and sides) are as much a psychological phenomenon as a physical one. It is frankly amazing that for over 20 years, Wikipedia has had no explanation of this concept at this level (starting, rather, with much more complex anatomical and mathematical concepts of orientation and directionality). Any help in getting this article off the ground would be appreciated! BD2412 T 03:35, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Translation of psychology content, scientific dissemination and data analysis.
We are preparing to start a project to translate content related to psychology, science communication and data analysis, and we would like to know your opinion about this project. Comments, criticism and suggestions are welcome!

Project summary
The organization Helping Give Away Psychological Science promotes the dissemination of content related to psychology, both to the general public (including through Wikipedia) and to students and professional psychologists (for example, through Wikiversity). The recording of training and lectures promoted by the organization generated a series of videos, currently available on Youtube, in English. Now, HGAPS is preparing to start a project to translate and generate dubbing for its videos using artificial intelligence. The proposal aims to test the feasibility and effect (in terms of number of views) of making dubbed versions of the aforementioned videos available. It also will generate a step by step guide about how to use free/open source software to do AI dubbing.

Teams involved
Three teams are involved in the project. Organizers are volunteers of Helping Give Away Psychological Science, and the rest of the teams will be psychology students invited to join the project. A Brazilian team will be located in Porto Alegre and linked to the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. A Mexican team will be located in San Andrés Cholula, and linked to the Universidad de las Américas Puebla.

Project steps

 * Subtitles for the English versions of the videos, that are automatically generated by YouTube, will be curated. People fluent in English from all teams involved will participate.
 * The Brazilian and Mexican teams will curate the automatic translations of the transcriptions that have already been curated (mentioned above), generating videos with good quality subtitles.
 * Dubbings will be generated for a (random) portion of the videos, in Portuguese and Spanish, using the subtitles (translated and curated) mentioned above as input. This way, it will be possible to compare the views of groups of videos (dubbed vs. subtitled) and evaluate the effectiveness of this process.
 * A video toolkit will be created and made available in Portuguese, Spanish and English, including all translated and dubbed content, and hosted on Wikiversity (as well as Wikiversidade and Wikiversidad). It will also include a guide for repeating the procedures adopted in the project, recorded on video and available in three languages.
 * These contents will also be documented on Wikidata.

With this project, we hope to contribute to the integration of AI to facilitate the dissemination of scientific knowledge, in addition to expanding the availability of the content directly translated by the project. In the case of Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking populations in Latin America, this could increase the accessibility of the content for about 600 million people. However, we hope that this initiative can generalize further in the future, by the dissemination of the methods we will be employing. Also, future directions can include the translation of lectures by scientists in different countries to English, thus contributing to increase the visibility and plurality of science worldwide.

New discussion on Polyvagal theory Talk page
Hi. I’ve begun a discussion on the Polyvagal theory Talk page that I think would interest members of this Wikiproject. Talk:Polyvagal theory. The discussion involves the representation of a minority viewpoint as the definitive word on the theory’s tenability. Ian Oelsner (talk) 22:06, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Idolization
I have a long-gestating draft on the concept of idolization at Draft:Idolization, which may be of interest to this project. Cheers! BD2412 T 03:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Significant OR at Thomas Szasz article; needs psych-interest eyeballs for spring cleaning
A dive into the article Thomas Szasz revealed a large portion of primary-sourced material which I would label WP:OR. I don't normally edit BLPs and haven't edited anything in the psych-topics, so it really could use someone with more experience than me to evaluate it. There is a short thread on the talk page, and I tagged the article after doing some cleanup. Any insight would be appreciated. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 07:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
