That's just an Audi sample. It., too, comes in a small plastic baggie, and consists of several square millimeters of topcoat for those who want to drool over the possibilities of getting the whole thing!!

Ibelieve there is a whole industry of ex-street people who run around bagging these samples at intersections and the sites of highway accidents.

Own your own business!!

Pook, I dunno if I want ALL the lyrics!! LMAO!

The fact that you moonlight as a corndog while conceiving of yourself as a coondog leads me to recommend Liebenscheiss' Everready Prefontal Lobotomy Do-It-Yourself Kit. It contains a small crowbar, seven ounces of black gunpowder, and three feet of Schedule 40 1" PVC, plus a baggie containing a very long fireplace match and a dental mirror on a three-foot handle. Unfortunately the user manual was subcontracted to a Taiwanese technical writer and is rather difficult to understand! LOL!! The psychiatrist's truism for the 21st century: if the lobes won't harmonize, separate 'em!! " (You kids settle down or I'll put you in separate rooms!!). You are a truly zany guy, Pook!!

Your ambition to bumblebee a dead-head gives me hope however. Remember as long as you have a goal, there is life! There is hope!! LOL!!

LMAO!! Thanks for a first rate persiflage! May your lobes sing in thirds!

LMAO!! Well Amos, we'se jes' a couple' o' ol' coon dogs, yessiree. ('Course I moonlight as a corn-dog too) O so it's Wireless Inductance izzit? Saaay, do they have that in Convection?

Dang, Pooker, you're the only person aside from my own self I have heard address the subject of cognitive dissonance in a coon's age. (How much cognitive dssonance is therte in a coon's age?).

Anyway, it could well be that they have to apply a chaos filter sorta algorithm on the raw data to map it to structured tonality, I dunno. The story doesn't go into the sampling rate of the wave-form analysis at all. Typical Wired high level smarty-pants report, just right for the likes of us!

As for the control group -- LOL! -- I can think of a few dead-in-the-'ead volunteers, the sort who don't need help getting to sleep because its permanent. But I haven't been asked for a list.

You realize this puts only a few technological evolutionary steps away from WANs using wireless inductance to generate different musical structures as people pass by, alerting those around to the presence of terrorists, bores, obsessives, schizophrenics (barbershop output for the happily schizoid, and bad rap for the disturbed ones), gossips (perhaps something like the Bumblebee Concerto) and busybodies (theme music from the Pink Panther). LOL!! The halls will be alive with the sound of music!!

O so it's Chaos Musictheory izzit? Think I'll decline to volunteer for dis one. / Nowait. Is there a Control Group? mmWa-ha-haaa.

An interesting experiment has been done recently involving taking brain waves (in this case, of people suffering from insomnia) and mapping them to musical output, which is then fed back to the subject and observed to help him sleep better.

The story, including an audi sample of the music created by brainwaves, can be found on this page. Obviously the output depends on who draws the map and what metadata is used in the process.

But, ya know, the music ain't half bad!!

This raises interesting questions about brainwave to music translations of the inside of Mudcatters' heads. I think I know a few who would come up with dreamy patterns kind of like "Love, Oh Careless Love", while others might produce something more akin to the 1812 Overture or perhaps the sound of alley cats in heat. Who knows!!??

Enjoy.
