Midori-san, the blogging houseplant
If houseplants could blog, what would they say? To find out, Kamakura-based IT company KAYAC Co., Ltd. has developed a sophisticated botanical interface system that lets plants post their thoughts online. A succulent Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerii) named “Midori-san” is now using the system to blog daily from its home at bowls Donburi Cafe in Kamakura.

US Patent 5016213 - Method and apparatus for controlling an electrical device using gsr
... electrodermal response and the like of a biologic individual is utilized by programming an electrical device to respond in a desired humanly perceptible fashion to changes in the sense and amplitude of an electrical control signal only in a given range. A value characteristic of the state of an autonomic system, for example, the galvanic skin resistance of the individual, is then sensed and converted to an electrical signal, the absolute value of which changes in sense and amplitude with changes in the sensed value characteristic of the state of the autonomic system and such electrical signal is continuously adjusted in absolute value toward a given electrical value with a given time rate of change approaching the average time rate of change which can be achieved in the value characteristic of the state of the autonomic system by the central nervous system of a biologic individual. The resultant time rate of change in the absolute value of the electrical signal is converted to an electrical signal within the given range and used as the electrical control signal for the electrical device.

Music-loving plants, music-giving plants
das klingt interessant:
a Japanese company has created a gadget that puts you in touch with the ‘feelings’ of plants.
This gadget gauges the electrical activity in plants and can register a plant’s response when exposed to music. The device is called the Plantone and has two sensor clips that are attached to the leaves of the plant.
When the device’s lamp turns red, it means a strong electrical current has passed within the plant’s cells. It signifies a positive response. A green light on the other hand occurs when the cell electrical signals are weak, signifying a negative or unhappy response.

..“BrainPaint extracts a new metric on the complexity of the EEG and feeds that back visually in a language the brain functions in. Our brains and BrainPaint are complex systems—BrainPaint takes information communicated directly from the brain and creates real-time fractal images that the brain appears to understand.”

Komponist und Musiker Hans Platzgumer und der Poptheoretiker und Musikerkollege Didi Neidhart setzen sich mit der Frage, was Freiheit ist und was die Freiheit kostet – nämlich zunehmend die Aufgabe der individuellen Freiheit und wachsende Kontrollwut, alles im Zeichen der (nationalen) Sicherheit – und haben daraus eine Radioskulptur geschaffen, eine radiophone Collage gespickt mit Zitaten zeitgenössischer Vordenker und Definitionen unterschiedlicher Methoden der Vermessung des menschlichen Körpers zur mehr oder weniger exakten Identifizierung eines Individuums, moderne Brandmale oder Wasserzeichen, und zusammengehalten durch die querdenkerischen, zuweilen poetisch-assoziativen Gedankenstränge.

Elektro-Myographie (EMG) eine kleine Einführung
Eindrucksvolle Abhandlung, viele Grundlagen über Nervenzellen und deren Funktionsweise etc. Der Verfasser dürfte schon ein guter mann sein “...Zwei solcher Fälle habe ich bei einem Einsatz im Zürcher Universitätsspital in den 70er-Jahren mit einem von mir gebauten zweikanaligen EMG-Biofeedback-Gerät mitbetreut.”, Thomas Schaerer heißt er. Er meint:
Mit Haut-Oberflächenelektroden kann man schlecht EMG-Analyse betreiben, weil die Wiedergabe der APs ist nicht möglich. Auf Grund der Überlagerung sehr vieler solcher Impulse zeigt sich ein chaotisches Signalmuster und man misst einen Mittelspannungswert der die Anspannungskraft des Muskels wiedergibt.
... und Nadelsensoren will man den Besuchern wohl auch nicht antun. Schlussfolgerung: EMG-Signale (Muskelaktivitäten) taugen für unsere Zwecke primär nichts.
Link: http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/public/schaerer/emg1.htm
User-Input, 27.12.2009
...EMG-Signale fuer Ihre Zwecke nicht taugen. Fuer die differenzierte Messunng mittels Nadel- oder Draehtchenelektroden, wo es darum geht, Aktionspotentiale zu erfassen, trifft das bestimmt zu. Aber ich denke nicht, wenn EMG-Biofeedback ins Spiel kommt und genau dafuer genuegen einfache Hautoberflaechen-Elektroden, wie ich es in meinem Elektronik-Minikurs beschrieben habe: http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/public/schaerer/emg1.htm
