I’ve been doing a full immersion in data compression lately (especially focused on video compression). Just to take my mind off entropy encoding, fast python implementations of Run Length Encoding, OpenCV, and Fourier Theory, I have been playing around with some old vectorial drawings… Also, I am trying to drop my obsession with the brain more …

The study of apparent behavior One of the most intriguing experiments in the history of psychology is the one performed by Heider and Simmel – Heider, F, & Simmel, M. (1944): “An experimental study of apparent behavior“. American Journal of Psychology, 57, 243–259. In brief, the authors showed some geometric shapes moving around the screen more …
In 2011 Mark Schnitzer’s Lab in Stanford came up with a brilliant technology: a miniaturized integrated microscope that can be implanted on a mouse head (read the paper here) to observe cell activity while the mouse is free to move around and perform behavioral tasks. This technology is now available thanks to Inscopix, Doric, and more …
