artist can anticipate a scientific
artist can anticipate a scientific breakthrough which even here this is
breakthrough which even here this is
breakthrough which even here this is hard for me to say because I I went to
hard for me to say because I I went to
hard for me to say because I I went to school as an engineer I worked in tech
school as an engineer I worked in tech
school as an engineer I worked in tech for a long time and I'm skeptical even
for a long time and I'm skeptical even
for a long time and I'm skeptical even right now I'm artist at the neuroscience
right now I'm artist at the neuroscience
right now I'm artist at the neuroscience Research Center at UT and I hang out
Research Center at UT and I hang out
Research Center at UT and I hang out with real scientists and they're like
with real scientists and they're like
with real scientists and they're like really skeptical but I went back to art
really skeptical but I went back to art
really skeptical but I went back to art school I quit my job some years ago and
school I quit my job some years ago and
school I quit my job some years ago and I went back to art school and this is
I went back to art school and this is
I went back to art school and this is where I learned that as an artist if you
where I learned that as an artist if you
where I learned that as an artist if you research something and you run into
research something and you run into
research something and you run into anything really difficult you can just
anything really difficult you can just
anything really difficult you can just you can just imagine your way through it
you can just imagine your way through it
you can just imagine your way through it okay and also your job as an artist is
okay and also your job as an artist is
okay and also your job as an artist is to really pay attention to yourself and
to really pay attention to yourself and
to really pay attention to yourself and sometimes those observations get
sometimes those observations get
sometimes those observations get eventually explained by science so it
eventually explained by science so it
eventually explained by science so it was with that idea it was three summers
was with that idea it was three summers
was with that idea it was three summers ago and I had cobbled together this way
ago and I had cobbled together this way
ago and I had cobbled together this way to take a look at brain patterns I'd
to take a look at brain patterns I'd
to take a look at brain patterns I'd acti I'd hacked together this EEG from

like a neuro version of golden section and the problem I was
golden section and the problem I was
golden section and the problem I was having with the EEG was it amplifies an
having with the EEG was it amplifies an
having with the EEG was it amplifies an electrical signal right you strap this

thing on and what I realized I'm trying
thing on and what I realized I'm trying to measure brain right and what i'm
to measure brain right and what i'm
to measure brain right and what i'm getting instead is like whether you're
getting instead is like whether you're

I thought back like how I'm trying to measure this directly and I thought how
measure this directly and I thought how
measure this directly and I thought how else can I write get at this idea of
else can I write get at this idea of
else can I write get at this idea of brain patterns and I thought back to my
brain patterns and I thought back to my

look at these patterns of data and realized I could see even more
realized I could see even more
realized I could see even more subtleties in the data right I took my
subtleties in the data right I took my
subtleties in the data right I took my sleep patterns and I compared them to
