Hey Chen Yu!

I'm interested in the new normal. There have been a couple recent papers in which scientists managed to prove that people who are conversing actually experience brain wave synchronization. I'm not sure what we would do with it, but maybe we could make a system that looks for that in people who are talking online and rewards it? It might be possible to actually improve people's conversations, or at least create an interesting work based on the technology. I'm definitely open to non-EEG techniques though.

As for the pandemic, I have experienced a sort of bizarre liminality. I have been under voluntary self quarantine since all of this began because I'm high risk, so it has really felt like spending six months inside of an airport. Like I'm just passing through my own life on the way to something else. It's really strange.

Thank you!
Ed

Hi Ed,

I can feel you.. and where are you at now? How are you dealing with the liminality and this strange moment? It's my second time for 14 days compulsory quarantine, and actually I feel........suffocated in my own room which paradoxically I concern as a safe/comfortable space without quarantine.

Also interested in this paper you mentioned, "conversing actually experience brain wave synchronization", could you possibly share the paper?

So from my understanding that you are interested in doing this project with the assumption for internet/ virtual way of communication as a way to adjust this new normality?

There are different possible questions to enter the topic, would love to hear more voices!!
