visual mind reading

visual mind reading

brain_scanner.jpg
a new scientific mind-reading technique that is able to to accurately predict images being viewed by people, using quite advanced brain activity scanners (fMRI).

"the study raises the possibility in future of the technology being harnessed to visualize scenes from a person's dreams or memory... to reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience from measurements of brain activity alone. imagine a general brain-reading device that could reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience at any moment in time".

first, custom-made software analyzes a subject's visual cortex while they view 1000s of images over 5 hours, to learn how that person's brain codes visual information. then, the decoder is able to predict the brain activity it would expect if the subject is viewing a new set of images.

sounds like a great tool to research how people "visualize" abstract concepts?

there's something about gisele, congrats LeBron

via Fashionologie>> This month, LeBron James becomes the third man ever to star on a Vogue cover, following in the footsteps of George Clooney (June 2000) and Richard Gere (November 1992). The most recent two covers have something even more striking in common . . . Gisele Bundchen appears on both.

Cindy_richard_vogue I guess when you have a formula that works, you stick with it — all three covers pair man with supermodel (Richard Gere appeared with then-girlfriend Cindy Crawford), and all three covers are highlighted with red and white fonts. They appear in eight-year intervals: 1992, 2000, 2008, so if all goes according to the pattern, we may not see another until 2016.

Congrats, Lebron! But I wonder how Anna's favorite Roger Federer feels about this . . .

The response we got after posting the inflatable bear photos last week was amazing. We couldn't be happier to follow it up with these two wonderful videos, shot and sent to us by the artist, Joshua Allen Harris.

After watching the videos, we love the project even more...




Antoine Helbert




















http://www.antoine-helbert.com/

This master painter, sculptor and illustrator from Strasbourg, France has the stylistic graphics that range from fashion, history, and advertising. Each illustrated compartment are very different. His portfolio is outstanding and pushes the envelope for the ability of illustrators to turn out more than just line and marker drawings.

Antoine Helbert’s portraits unleash a dark stare into the surreal surroundings of his models. He paints an ambiance so startling, you can’t help but stare. It should be no surprise that I relay he is also the scenic painter for Strasbourg’s Opera. His technique is oil on canvas for rich colors with eye-popping light sources.

His website contains a gorgeous collection of all his mediums and work. Antoine has created many posters for exhibitions, music festivals, and cultural events. He is a rising French star aiming high on his illustrative canvas of possibilities.

Megan Baker has been taking photographs since she took hold of the Polaroid at age four. In addition to concert photography, Baker’s photo focus is on abandoned houses and small towns that have suffered economic distress. Decampment is an incredible series that takes us inside and out along this journey. The light, the colours, the mood – these photos linger. And we almost hate to bring this up, but Megan Baker happens to be sixteen-years-old.
