Metaphorically, in English we “sound out” an idea, a person, or a vessel – sonic explorations of subjectivity or tests of worth. That “resonance” has extensive cultural and cognitive significance. How do we know what we hear? How do we know what is inside our heads and what is outside? Following on the previous day’s session on color, which asked about the relation between the subjective, objective, mathematical, and intersubjective apprehension of color, this session asks about the quality of sound as experience. What is the relation between auditory perception and hallucination? What are the boundaries of hearing? Why does it matter, and to whom? Engaging music and noise, artists and live musicians, installations and recordings, computation and human sensory capacities, acousmata and precise directional signals, this session explored the ethical and aesthetic components of sound, and why “noise” of many kinds is so central to scientific exploration and the human arts.

"Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number. It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 230, with a commonly used value of 150. Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with a lack of persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size.
Dunbar's number was first proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who theorized that "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size ... the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained." On the periphery, the number also includes past colleagues such as high school friends with whom a person would want to reacquaint oneself if they met again..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number
- I still believe in the Dunbar's number - living, thinking and working in a 'dunbar village' - but in an emergent, self-organizing, connective and networked world the selection of the 150 people changes daily.

Deep within the vast tapestry of the cosmos, amidst the glittering stars and the enigmatic secrets of distant galaxies, exists a truly extraordinary being - the Alien Female. She stands as a testament to the boundless wonders of the universe, a marvel of advanced technology and biological artistry intertwined in perfect harmony. In this series of panels, we embark on a captivating journey to unravel the intricacies of her existence, from the remarkable head circuitry that serves as the core of her cognitive prowess to the marvels of her sensory systems and the remarkable energy sources that power her existence.
The head circuitry, a fusion of quantum computing and biological material, stands as the heart of her cognitive architecture. It bestows upon her an unparalleled processing speed, enabling her to process vast amounts of information in mere moments. What sets her apart, however, is the intuitive user interface that seamlessly interfaces with the exotic technologies scattered throughout the galaxies. It allows her to receive and transmit thoughts as data streams, facilitating instantaneous knowledge transfer and learning through neural downloads. It is a testament to the endless possibilities of blending science and nature.
Her vision systems, a marvel in themselves, comprise multi-layered retinal implants that not only grant her the ability to zoom to microscopic levels but also extend her vision into previously imperceptible electromagnetic spectrums. These implants are not merely tools for observation; they also serve as conduits for holographic projection and recording, functioning both as a diagnostic instrument and a means to chronicle her cosmic odyssey.
The auditory devices she possesses are engineered to detect a breathtakingly wide spectrum of sound waves, from the deepest subsonic frequencies to the highest ultrasonic notes. This remarkable technology enables her to communicate with species that convey messages beyond human auditory capacity. Furthermore, it allows her to pick up the subtle vibrations of interstellar matter, tuning her senses to the cosmic symphonies that resonate throughout the universe.
The energy management module that sustains her existence is nothing short of groundbreaking. It combines the forces of fusion, fission, and antimatter to create an energy source that borders on the inexhaustible. This core is encased within a protective dark energy field, shielding her biological systems from harm while optimizing energy consumption. It is a testament to her resilience and adaptability in the face of the cosmic challenges she encounters.
Her support structures are an intricate tapestry woven from bio-metal and genetically modified collagen. This combination creates a lightweight yet nearly indestructible skeletal framework. Her muscles are reinforced with nano-filaments that possess the remarkable ability to dynamically alter density and strength, allowing her to effortlessly adapt to the diverse environments and physical demands she encounters on her interstellar journeys.
The wonder of her skin integration lies in its ability to change texture and colour to match the surroundings, providing her with the ultimate camouflage. Embedded nanochips continuously monitor and adjust her body temperature, ensuring her comfort in even the most extreme environments. Moreover, they protect her against environmental hazards such as radiation and extreme temperatures, safeguarding her as she explores the far reaches of the universe.
Her internal systems are teeming with autonomous nanobots, guardians of cellular integrity and masters of pathogen combat. These tiny marvels also possess the extraordinary capability to perform surgical repairs internally, eliminating the need for external medical intervention. This enables her to achieve rapid healing and adapt seamlessly to new environments, a testament to her resilience and resourcefulness.
The communication modules integrated into her being are nothing short of awe-inspiring. They house built-in universal translators, drawing upon a vast database of millions of languages and dialects from across the galaxy. These modules enable her to engage in real-time interpretation and generation of languages, including those based on non-vocal expressions such as colour shifts and bioluminescence. With this remarkable capability, our Alien Female can effortlessly interact with a multitude of life forms, forging connections across the cosmos.
In this series of panels, we invite you to embark on a voyage of discovery as we delve deeper into each facet of the Alien Female's existence. Join us in unravelling the mysteries of her technological marvels and her place in the grand cosmic tapestry. Together, we shall celebrate the beauty of science, the artistry of biology, and the boundless wonders of the universe through the lens of the Alien Female's incredible being.

MuCEM Marseille, France - 2013
Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a demuseumifying breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.

- Tricks of Influence - 7 Biases and Psychological Artistry -
September 2012
Hi
A key question for you is what do you think moves people to change behaviour? What are the 7 key biases that we all have which lie behind making decisions and choices?
Being able to answer these questions means understanding influence and decision making processes. Influence is the driving force for us making the most of our resources.
. Introduction
. Choices - The 7 Cognitive Biases
. Standing Out From Countless Distractions
. A Better Show-reel
. Sleight of Mind Set Workshops
. Feedback
. What Is Psychological Artistry?
. Examples of Psychological Artistry
. Other Services
. Contact Me
The ability to influence, appear to be able to dictate and predetermine people's choices and actions lie behind much that we cover in our SMS workshops. We're now very excited to be able to offer to you a number of open workshops dedicated to showing you mind magic and psychological artistry and how to apply it to what you do. We call this these the Sleight of Mind Set Workshops (click here for more information) or visit mindsways.com/SMS/
The ideas and material in this workshop is designed to reinforce and expand upon your delivery and interventions. Following on from the recent successes we are now holding the SMS workshops in Birmingham, Bath, Glasgow and London during November.
CHOICES - THE 7 COGNITIVE BIASES
Our choices are driven by our cognitive biases, 7 of the most important ones that we make use of in Psychological Artistry are:
Availability bias
Conformational bias
Illusion of control
Clustering or patterning fallacies
The Forer effect
Anchoring
Framing effect
There are many more, but understanding just these 7 gives us massive insights on our own decision making processes and also makes a large impact on how we influence other people's decisions and choices. In addition to these other biases come into play that have an impact on our lives and business. Some of these are:
Distinction bias
Egocentric bias
Information bias
Belief bias
We use to psychological artistry to both illustrate and understand these processes in a non threatening yet challenging way.
Mind Magic uses these and other techniques to give you the appearance of being able to accurately direct, dictate and influence people's choices. Being able to apply these techniques and ideas, as well as carry out these effects, increases your understanding of the psychological forces and shows others that you work with them.
These forces have real and practical impact on our lives daily. The SMS day uses mind magic as a lens to focus and clearly illustrate these psychological biases, whilst at the same time equipping you with an approach that is entertaining and engaging. This can prove a powerful way to engage a variety of people.
STANDING OUT FROM THE COUNTLESS DISTRACTIONS
With countless distractions coming at us from all angles, we must be able to stand out from the crowd, grab attention and more importantly, be able to hold attention. The skills and techniques that are embedded within Psychological Artistry are designed to do just that. I have coached and trained with this approach and found that through this, many areas can be dealt with, such as:
Developing confidence
Communication skills
Understanding behaviours
Biases ( social and cognitive)
How we experience the world
Self expression
Thinking skills
We are about uncovering the patterns of human behaviour whilst being
Entertained
Fascinated
Mystified
Enlightened
A BETTER SHOW-REEL
"To win more pitches, you need a better show-reel." John Hegarty - Hegarty on Advertising
We are looking to add to your "show-reel" by teaching you these techniques, routines and effects. A warning though, they must be treated like the special effects we see in films. They are there to enhance and illustrate what you do. A movie that is all special effects and no story makes for a boring film. Sometimes the best special effects are invisible. You will learn to use the Psychological Artistry toolbox of special effects to enhance and illustrate what you deliver.
SLEIGHT OF MIND SET WORKSHOPS
On these days, you will follow us down a path that will capture your imagination, giving you a complete skill set of astonishment, amazement and wonder. You will experience the worlds of Psychological Artistry, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking, Stagecraft and Magic, as well as partake in an experience that defies and twists logic and scientific understanding.
The day will challenge you to think about your delivery in entirely different ways. You will uncover your ability to step out of the logical box and view what you do from an entirely new perspective.
These workshops are all about enabling you to learn, appreciate and apply mind magic and psychological artistry to what you do. The approach is not traditional, but that is where its strength lies, particularly when advertising and adding value to others.
The programme includes two packs of material, the SNT (Show Not Tell) kit and the SMS (Sleight of Mind Set) pack; these include 20 discrete routines, ideas and techniques that allow you to deliver what you learn. The material here is not readily available but is assembled in packs ready for you to take away and use.
We are engaged with a wide range of people and organisations, but all of them have one thing in common; they are all people who work with people. They all want to increase their performance; they are all searching for methods to improve what they do, they are all seeking something different. It is our objective to meet this outcome and we are doing it through using Psychological Artistry. For more information about the workshops please click here or visit www.mindsways.com/SMS/.
FEEDBACK
We have both been very pleased with previous feedback, with people saying it was "mind blowing" and "totally new". We are now seeing that we are meeting your expectations and adding value, which is very important to us. To see what people have said see www.mindsways.com/about/what-people-say/
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?
Psychological Artistry has at its heart Mind magic a tradition that has intrigued, entertained and drawn people in for over a century. We wrap around and mix in the science of social psychology, NLP, neuroscience and smart thinking. We take the building blocks of magic and psychology, and transform them so that you can use them to show people what you do, as well as what makes you different and worthy of their time. This leads us down a path where our focus is on learning by doing and through showing not telling. This produces an approach that is different enough to draw people to your projects or ideas.
We do this by weaving together overlapping areas of delivery such as:
Psychology
Influence
NLP
Presentation Skills
Human Behaviour
Stagecraft
Performance
Confidence
Story Telling
Engagement
Magic ideas and techniques
Today in this society which is rapidly changing and evolving our visibility is vital. You must be able be visible. You must be able to deliver new ideas and present established ideas in new ways. One of the easiest ways to do this is to appeal to novelty.
The skills and experiences you can gain from Psychological Artistry allow you to absorb these new ideas into your world, full of your own experiences and thoughts. Use these for encouraging and illustrating self awareness and the power the environment and our circumstances has in how we think and behave.
This acts as a vehicle for you to stand out and make an impact with your ideas.
AN EXAMPLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY
A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/community. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry.
OTHER SERVICES
The SNT kit is available separately. We are currently shipping this worldwide with very positive feedback. If you are curious to see more, please click here.
We've found that on the Workshop, psychological artistry starts to mix itself in with the skill sets of of many different areas.
