    This representation shows the connectivity of the 10,000 neurons and 30 million connections that make up a single mammalian neocortical column, the basic building block of the cortex. The different colors correspond to different levels of electrical activity.



    patterns of thought, visualizing thought
    *over a span of time
    *a specific thought
    *a way of communicating beyond words
    *what kind of a thought
    *emergent properties of emotions?

    ideas:
    *use galvanic skin response to asses peoples


    social patterns, movement through space
    *you have to decide on criteria for behavoir

    ideas:
    *draw a line with the mouse across the desktop as you use your computer for different spans of time and for different people
    *give two people given a GPS unit to see how many times people actually cross each others path
    set two agents on a path
    mutual path
    how many times they cross each other?
    plot points of intersection
    should there be markers? locations that they could theoretically be moving between?
    how big is the space?

    example: Jeremy Wood GPSograph INFORMATION



    conways game of life
    *what criteria causes something to die off?

    ideas:
    *add criteria
    *if you have no neighbors but you won't die
    *if you have two neighbors you will die
    *triumph of the loner

    vehicles
    *use internet traffic to certain websites to move vehicles




    life from very simple processes
    perceiving things we otherwise couldn't
    cumulative
    taken as a whole
    greater than sum of it's parts

    emergent social behavoir

    [stanza]

    could my everyday processes create life
    conways game of life

    FOR PRINT


    1thought // how is social behavoir coded, how can this be dealt with creatively through computer code?

    this is a really broad question, and I found several projects through visual complexity that i felt worked with this idea in some way or another

    Biomapping Sketch Info and
    applet

    The Bio Mapping project allows the wearer to record their Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), which is a simple indicator of emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. This can be used to plot a map that highlights point of high and low arousal. By sharing this data one can construct maps that visualise where a community might feel stressed and excited.


    This project was more about the behavoir of the nervous system in response to environment, something I may want to try in a later project.

    This is most obviously related but less interesting visualisation of the social patterns in the Culture virtual environment, part of the Quest Atlantis universe.

    GPS as a drawing tool

    what if you were actually asked to draw something recognizable together without looking at it. Having to move as an image together?

    another GPS related idea inspired by the anime series Platonic Chain:
    give two people given a GPS unit to see how many times people actually cross each others path
    set two agents on a path
    mutual path
    how many times they cross each other?
    plot points of intersection




    Another interesting project: live support systems - vanda is an attempt to analyze electrical signals from the vanda hybrida orchid, and apply language modeling techniques to these signals in a computer.
