A key problem with neuroprostheses and brain monitoring interfaces is that they need extreme energy efficiency. One way of lowering energy is to use the low power modes available on the processors embedded in these devices. We present a technique to predict when neuronal activity of interest is likely to occur, so that the processor can run at nominal operating frequency at those times, and be ...

The following article refers to a performed presentation, from the Double Dialogues Conference, Art & Pain, at The University of Melbourne, May 10, 2003. The presentation involved an audio-visual configuration in which I was speaking whilst simultaneously vision-mixing ‘live’ images from a camera and images from a pre-recorded videotape. The pre-recorded images were from the creative video prac...

Drosophila larvae are used in many behavioral studies, yet a simple device for measuring basic parameters of larval activity has not been available. This protocol repurposes an instrument often used to measure adult activity, the TriKinetics Drosophila activity monitor (MB5 Multi-Beam Activity Monitor) to study larval activity. The instrument can monitor the movements of animals in 16 individua...
