Excerpts: peripheral semantics (codex overview)
This research demonstrates a foundational approach to peripheral semantic information delivery capable of conveying highly complex symbols well beyond the established mean, using motion-modulated stimuli within a series of small, static apertures in far periphery ( > 50°).
Excerpts: increasing environmental complexity, human subject trials
How detectable are far peripheral semantic cues in increasingly dynamic environments? Results show rapid adaptation and high detection accuracy.
Excerpts: codex metrics, results in controlled environments
Metrics of symbol recognition speed and accuracy in a controlled environment, with codex parameterization using motion energy analysis
Excerpts: stimulus preparation
Adapting stimuli to dynamic environments One of the greatest challenges of adapting motion-modulated semantics to real-world environments is maintaining requisite conditions for effects to occur.

Second-order cybernetic bionics for monitoring and early disease state detection
This self-directed, interactive device captures and visualizes images of the retina without the need for complex optics and precise alignment of illumination pathways.
Invisible Ink
The eye is a highly sensitive and programmable array of sensors. By presenting stimuli to discrete regions of the retina we encode neural pathways with
Sensory infidelity modulated through discordant input
The following sequence presents a demonstration of the interlinkages of visual and auditory sensory processing. The video consists of a repeated, one-second clip of a
Methods and apparatus for retinal imaging
Indirect, diffuse illumination may be employed, rather than direct illumination of the retina through the pupil. For indirect illumination, a cool-to-the-touch light source is pressed
Gyroscopic stabilization assist for ambulation: asset #3
Angle, inertia, and velocity are a subset of moment arms that when instinctively activated are biologically hardcoded in how we navigate through space. The complex
Non-invasive subsurface hyperspectral imaging
This research investigates the viability of subsurface imaging of the teeth and gums as a possible metric for quantifying blood flow, oxygen levels, bone density,

Model or manifest, the eye plays catalyst to the senses. For me, a gateway, separating the external world of object, surface, and time, which opens
Sculpting Plasma
I engineered and built a 12 cubic foot vacuum particle accelerator with a power grid running at 300,000 V made from discarded television components, and a 10,000-watt stepped-up magnetron series. It is a photographic platform with which I have the freedom and flexibility to address a variety of natural mediums at the molecular level.

Maunder Minimum
I created a number of artificial retinas on which images can be focused to address iconic decay as an unperceived aspect of sight. These carefully arranged elements have been developed into a device which can only “see” afterimages, presenting an aesthetic world of imagery beyond our conscious view.
