Met with Sile to discuss project proposal. Have now got an updated timeline for expected work…

Discussed group activities. Need to hone research proposal for meeting on wednesday. Also need to look into flights to the enactive conference in montpellier.

Met with PhD group. Main outcome of meeting is the decision to create a scrubber-like interface over the next couple of weeks as a group effort. Hopefully this will involve a fair bit of programming practice. Will apply Sile’s three rules of interface design:

Things to be done this week:
1) Read embodied mind material for fridays reading group.
2) Set up blog for the group.
3) Continue honing project description/proposal.
4) Possibly develop a musical demo for Alex’s inertia sensor.

First meeting in the SARC PhD lab. Tasks for this week:
1) Start an annotated bibliography, probably using endnote.
2) Write a one page abstract, to start clarifying what my PhD project will actually involve. The current title is “Techniques for analysis of multi-modal sensor data for gestural control systems”.
3) Not really a task, but generally to read up on encative interfaces.
