As sound and music progressed, a brain sensor worn by the composer of this piece, Sara Corry, recorded brain activity and turned different frequencies into different colored, textured bars that grew or decreased in size.
Composer Corry wrote – various algorithms coupled with electroencephalography (EEG) technology were used to render audible partials and textures above seven base brainwave frequencies: Delta, Theta, Low Alpha, High Alpha, Low Beta, High Beta and Gamma. The piece operated on the concept of the missing fundamental. By generating the appropriate overtones above the brainwave frequency, the brain can perceive the pitch of the tone without the tone being present.
Sometimes on Flickr, you encounter fellow Flickrites who change your photographical life forever. Firs there was Rosie and Aaron. Then David stumbled over my stream which pretty much got me all excited about photography, because I was actually being recongised by strangers. Then, whilst looking at my contact's recent uploads, I found this from tdub303. I had never encountered Darius Twin before, but soon after figured he was a big deal in light painting circles; anyone who's anyone in LPg knows of Darius Twin, I concluded. I probably wasn't thinking very straight at 0100 01.04.09 when I decided, mid-brainwave, to paint this. Who knows if young Darius will stumble across it. Hopefully he will. If he commnts, it'll probably be a better day than when Rosie commented on this light painting. No offence to Rosie, we're mutually following one another on Twitter.
I want a tee for this. Syke.
On a different note, I encountered a completely, un-ENT, patient today. We had some oncology kids on our ward because their ward was closed. They are amazing. Absolutely loved them. Fun loving, awesome, brilliant, wonderful. I can say a lot but two main words come to mind: persisitence and courage.
What Do I Use As a Light Source?

Get electrodes pasted to head and clipped on ears, plug them into the computer, and watch your brainwaves appear on the screen then play games with your brain. Look Ma! No hands!!
These are my brainwaves in the PZ position as shot during a brainwave training session at the ADD Centre, Toronto. Every session begins with a baseline assessment. The bowling ball moves when my gamma brainwaves go up, my beta brainwave spindles go down, and my muscle tension goes down.

I attended a course of eight lessons in photography at the VAK in Delft. The assignment for the last lesson was to give a presentation about a photographer and to show some of his/her photos. AND to make a photo yourself, inspired by the work of this photographer, either a remake of an existing photo or a photo that could have been made by the photographer.
My presentation was about the Spanish photographer Chema Madoz. His work consists of black and white pictures of common objects, combined in an extraordinary way. Surrealistic, full of humour, technically perfect. See his website for many examples of his work: www.chemamadoz.com/ingles/home.htm.
The current picture shows a remake of the original 'Tenedor cuchara' (Spoon fork) of Chema Madoz, made in 2000.
It is SOOC, except for a slight crop and the B&W processing. It took me quite some time to figure out how Chema Madoz could have produced such a picture without using Photoshop tricks. Finally, I got a brainwave, with this picture as result.
My recipe: Take a piece of paper with on top the spoon and on the other side a fork. Then place a light below the paper at a large distance to obtain a sharp enough shadow of the fork, shining through the paper. Place the whole setup in enough ambient light to avoid shadows of the spoon and still have the shadow of the fork. Mission accomplished!
My five year old decided she didn't want cake for her birthday, she wanted donuts. Ok...so I made her a donut cake. (See the step by step directions for making a donut cake over at Brainwaves.)

Dutch Innovation Days had a dinner in the beautiful Grote Kerk (large church).
There were many geeky things, including volunteers who would play music through their brainwaves by kissing.

QED, Black is White...well not really, because men got himself killed on the next zebra crossing..
This is how I imagined a quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A zebra crossing with a puddle of blood and a godly voice sarcastically saying "QED, Black is White, mwhuahahaha. You're wrong, and I'm back! "
Origin of the quote:
"The Babel fish," said The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy quietly, "is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy not from its carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish. "Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. "The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' "'But,' says Man, 'The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.' "'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic. "'Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Saw this outside the local bookshop, in Glanamman when I went to Ammanford on Friday, it had a sign £25 on it....as I'd gotton a lift with Mum who was going to the vet's I didn't think I had a chance to call in before the store closed on my way home...so I had a brainwave I went to the local newspaper office & got the number, spoke to one of the owner's who told me she was reducing it to £20 as it was the last one and they wanted it sold quick...and they wait behind until 6pm and to just push the door open on my way home...long story short we lost mum, who told me to ring her after leaving her mobile at home and then she went off with the car (and our chinchilla) to a store I said I wasn't going near so we had to walk miles to find her...anyhoo, Aaron tracked her down, and we got some groceries...and loaded up the car thinking "oh sh*t how's it gonna fit" ... did I mention we also had a cat, chinchilla and a dog with us...and Mum's car's a tiny little fiesta...but yeah so we left Ammanford at 6pm :( and it's a good 10 min drive if you're lucky ... which I was as the kindly old couple waited for me and helped Aaron get it in the boot!
Anyway it's 3.9 ft wide, 3 ft high and has a depth of just under 1 ft... it came with 2 staircases, and a load of pre-pressed pieces, some long strips of skirting & coving and a box containing the 2 chimney pots, magnets, screws, clips etc...
Now all we need is the time to do it...seeing as we are awaiting the arrival of our other dolls house kit (gonna be spooky guys!) to arrive from China!!
Arriving at the central car park on the University of York campus with an open day shuttle service, YWH 693 is a rare Volvo B10M-SE VanHool T9 Alizée - formerly Y949 YAV, the engine on an SE is set further back than on a standard B10M and this can be told by the position of the side engine vents on the nearside.
I had been trying to work out the original ID of this coach for a while, but had a brainwave whilst looking through my photos from today and comparing with an older photo or two.

Beverly...(With the holy virgin having mistaken beverly’S big upper lip as a landing strip)... Seen here just prior to a conjunction of two conflicting and explosive moments... One occurring within, and the other without... (One in beverly’S bottom, and the other behind)... And with little mort becoming alarmed the normally effective breeze generated from his propeller-topped yarmulke would not be sufficient to diminish the heat... (It was going to be incendiary... It was inevitable)...
With beverly on the very edge of becoming her other self - mrs. Rogers...Becoming misaligned in her mind...Suffering from shorted-out brainwaves... Conflicted but simultaneously arriving messages...Being sent to her from two big daddies, even if both daddies only imagined... The one whom her half-sister kathleen had told her was god... (Living in the top of the castle on the nut farm in arkansas, where beverly normally spent her days) ... And the other living someplace in a recently constructed castle, of sorts, in georgia... (With both locations being states of mind, to boot)...
And the flora and the fauna were hopelessly mixed... (And it was all getting ready to blow)...
The ever evolving macro setup, often use a VOLS or just manually hand hold the flash, but the light can vary between shots. So I was going to take out a lightstand for the flash, then had the brainwave that "I've got a magic arm & superclamps" so how about 'bolting' the flash to the tripod.

4DSOUND: Circadian opens with a performance by Lisa Park. Park works with EEG brainwave headsets as a self-monitoring tool to measure her emotional response to the world around her.
‘NUE’, meaning silkworm in Korean, transforms the physical space of 4DSOUND as Lisa moves through the system wearing a 200-metre long white dress, weaving an intricate web of passages, pockets and walls. Confined within the web, the audience interacts with Lisa as she moves in the space, through whispering, looking, and touching. Driven by Lisa’s brainwaves, a soundworld unfolds that encompasses the audience in its unravelling structure. Sonic textures melt together or fall apart based on Lisa’s emotional state, being tense or calm, focused or distracted.
Sound design: Salvador Breed and Stijn van Beek
New York-based artist Lisa Park has developed a series of performances using biosensors (brainwave and heart-rate devices) as a vehicle for manifesting her inner states. Lisa’s recent works “Eunoia” and “Eunoia II” involved using a commercial brainwave (EEG) headset as a self-monitoring tool to measure her physical and psychological states. These performances obtained real-time feedback of her emotional reactions- an investigation into a new form of expression and trans-sensory experience by visually and audibly reflecting her inner states into tangible forms.

I don't remember the name of this castle anymore. But it was somewhere in a small village on a hill in Tuscany.
They say time flies. But sometimes it seems that memories try to catch up with time or even fly faster...

Update: Yippeeeeeee!!! I just had a giant of a brainwave. *big silly grin*
This castle is in a village called Poppi.
This proves a Smiling Da Vinci flies faster than a memory! :oD

Image for a child's imagination in a kaleidoscope. The magic will occur when all this will come into motion.
Another from the Apple Store in Covent Garden, London - there are so many opportunities for nice shots, but I have to admit that the staircases are the sweet spots for me.
I originally wasn't getting the colours I wanted with this so I made a black and white version. Nice as that was, I wasn't convinced it suited it as it's quite a busy image but not in the way that I feel suits B&W. I wanted the individual elements (the boy, the girl waiting for him, the steps, the handrail, the man in the background) to all be distinct. I left it in B&W and moved on to what will be 'two steps at a time', which had all the elements of a good B&W - simple, geometric framing, lots of contrast but without distracting from the main elements - but I tried colour first and came up with a really nice look.
Then I had the brainwave of swapping the B&W processing and the colour processing with each other (I save the PSD files on all the images I process for here) and with a few tweaks ended up with a great colour version of this image, and a good B&W one for the other. But... I still prefer the colour ones of both!
This is mainly a cross-processing curve sitting on top of a reduced opacity B&W layer, with extra contrast applied with another curve, and a vignette. There's some masking of the various layers where the shadows get too much, particularly on the boy.
