Amazing video of heart surgeon sketching out his procedure for collaborators in the surgical theatre. In lieu of a (non-sterile) pen, what does he have handy to use as a makeshift inkwell?
AI and Geocultural Bias Experiment Project
AI has significantly impacted social behavior and cultural cognition.
Regional cultural training to counter AI bias involves combating prejudice through archiving. The project aims to train AI systems to understand and adapt to a broader range of human experiences. The goal is to create and maintain rich, region-specific databases and establish a novel, open-source community to address gaps and biases in mainstream AI datasets.

We just finished a special order from Jonny Cycles with several color combinations. Definitely very summer-y, very colorful. We see a lot of caps leave our hands, but these are so cool I wanted to keep them for myself! Seriously, I want one!
Look for Jon at the 3rd International Fixed Gear Symposium, Aug. 8-11 in Traverse City, MI and pick up one for yourself while they last.
Years before I fell hard for the moon
I took this photo at the bus stop for work
the Crescent and Venus in close conjunction
while a wide-eyed creature looks up in amazement
surely a case of pre-cognition
for this creature is a profile of me

A 15% increase in cognition would improve my daughter Sarah's ability to communicate with others and live a fuller life as she grows and learns. She would gain a better understanding of the world around her and someday be able to fulfil her own dreams and goals. — Carrie, Peachtree City, GA
Mental Currents
Hopetimist, Hesitant, or Skeptic is an interactive installation that navigates the complexities of human perception and cognition. Visitors are presented with three poetic statements that tap into the intricacies of being an optimist, pessimist, or realist in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world.

Players are presented with various scenarios and each throws their ball into the tube corresponding to their chosen answer. By pressing the buzzer, all answers are logged, and the next question appears. The results are displayed in an animated format and compared with those of other festival-goers.
Through this interactive experience, not only are personal thought patterns explored, but the dynamics between different attitudes within a team are also highlighted. This unique gaming experience is more than just entertainment; it encourages you to reflect on your own perspective and recognize how you perceive the world around you and how differently people can respond to the same situations.
The game is a prototype that will be part of a larger experiential game at the Museum Arbeitswelt in Steyr, focusing on the theme of work, in the future. It is especially geared towards teenagers.

Elephant cognition is the study of animal cognition as present in elephants. Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world's most intelligent animals. With a mass of just over 5 kg (11lb), an elephant's brain has more mass than that of any other land animal, and although the largest whales have body masses twenty times those of a typical elephant, a whale's brain is barely twice the mass of an elephant's brain. In addition, elephants have around 257 billion neurons. Elephant brains are similar to humans' and many other mammals' in terms of general connectivity and functional areas, with several unique structural differences. Although initially estimated to have as many neurons as a human brain, the elephant's cortex has about one-third of the number of neurons as a human brain.
Elephants manifest a wide variety of behaviours, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, play, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory, and communication. Further, evidence suggests elephants may understand pointing: the ability to nonverbally communicate an object by extending a finger, or equivalent. It is thought they are equal with cetaceans and primates in this regard. Due to such claims of high intelligence and due to strong family ties of elephants, some researchers argue it is morally wrong for humans to cull them.
Aristotle described the elephant as "the animal that surpasses all others in wit and mind."
