Progress
I was able to create a housing with a clear acrylic cover for my neopixel lights. I created a vector file on inkscape and laser cut plywood to create a solid base so the wires would not get too bent. I was able to discuss ideas of memory and vision with my Cog Sci professor which helped me further flush out my ideas for the project.
Some key points included:
- As a person recalls a memory it does not necessarily become more clear
- recalling a memory opens pathways for false memories to take its place
- The fading of memories can be linked with the idea of color and saturation
- The movement and strokes in impressionist paintings activate movement centers in out brain leading to feelings of movement when viewing a painting
Setbacks
The wires still ended up fraying and the connection is no longer good. I will have to head to the lab to reattach wires to the ports.
