Brief description of the project
|
Reactive computer simulation of a neural network excitable through the movement of the spectator in fron of the projection. |

Project description
|
The installation Liquid Perceptron is a simulation of a neuronal network that is excitable through the external reality. Specifically, the simulation of the neuronal network is excitable through the movement of the spectators. Comparable with the eye, a camera recognizes the movement of objects in space and transmits the video signal to the neuronal network. The open loop state of the brain shows wave-like fluid patterns. After the network has been coupled to the external world an image of the reality becomes emergent - superimposed by the "eigen dynamics" of the Liquid Perceptron. The activity of the neurons is color-coded. Bright areas are particularly active. One recognizes that local excitations lead to the formation of coherant patterns, much like observed in brain activity visulizations. The activity fronts spread of the whole network. The information corresponding to "perception" is represented in the global activity patterns rather than in each single neuron. Liquid Perceptron allows both the researcher as well as spectators to perform experiments in order to achieve understanding of how complex systems work. The interaction of spectators with Liquid Perceptron is itself a valuable source to understand cognitive functions. |

Technical description
|
Equipment: Fast Computer, video projector, surveillance camera. The camera detects the movement of the spectators and couples the video signal to the simulation which leads to local excitations of the network. |
