Neuroscience
Recently I featured Jonathan McCabe's two dimensional artwork, stills of patterns generated by neural nets in his exhibit Nervous States.
More and better: animations! Videos document the processes behind the stills taken for the Origami Butterfly Technique show. Fascinating to watch the changes.

Detail of an image from Origami Butterfly Technique; click for an amazing full size image.
Archived minimally; although McCabe is a digital artist, he's hasn't made a web site. Perhaps the neural nets could generate a design?

Jonathan McCabe is an Australian digital artist and systems engineer I'm so keen on that I've done two previous posts about his generative art 2D images and videos. He recently sent me a nice email with a link to more of his work so I had to share....

Charles Anderson: A Comparison of Neurobiological and Digital Computation is a talk given at the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, UC Berkeley on 04/10/06, now available on video. From the abstract: ...a computational framework [1] that shows...
- Faces Are Considered More Attractive When They're Moving
Here's some comforting news for anyone who despairs at how they look in photos - research by psychologists at the Universities of California and Harvard finds that the same people are rated as more attractive in videos than in static images taken...
- The Power Of Blobs On The Brain
The media love those colourful brain images - the ones adorned by blobs purportedly showing which areas are most active when the experimental participant is thinking about something specific like cheese on toast. Now researchers in America have shown...
- Intelligent Design -- Computationally
My former colleague Lee Spector wrote a terrific op-ed piece arguing against Intelligent Design in the August 29 issue of the Boston Globe. (free registration required to read the article). Lee is into evolutionary computation, and he creates computer...

Jonathan McCabe is interested in theories of biological pattern formation and evolution and their application to computer art. He likes to write computer programs which measure statistical properties of images for use in artificial evolution of computer art.
