We just put our Tear Detection device through its paces – and it works even better than expected. The device is built from a tiny USB camera and a Seek Thermal Compact thermal imaging camera. …

Gallery Tracks – Artist-Scientist Project
Together with Johan Nieuwenhuize I am currently working on a Artist-Scientist project that traces the whereabouts of visitors to an exposition. This will enable Johan to adapt and evolve his installation based on the …
Locking into an active life
STW Open Mind program two-minute video entry. To make the video fit the STW’s two-minute time limit, we had to remove some sections of our original video and compress it by about ten percent. As …
Arxiv: Online Avatar Optimization
My latest paper is now available on Arxiv – see summary and figure below. Abstract: “Lock-in feedback circuits are routinely used in physics laboratories all around the world to detect weak signals in a noisy …
Lock in Feedback in two dimensions
A visualization demonstrating how Lock in Feedback (LiFt) is able to optimize over multiple dimensions – here, optimizing the position of a decoy on two attributes. If you are interested in playing around with Lock …
Cold tear
Thermographic video of a cool tear rolling down a warm cheek. At the Amsterdam VU University Physics lab with Asmir Graฤanin.
The lock-in whiteboard session
Now that we had successfully run some more simulations with Davide’s and Maurits’s lock-in feedback algorithm, we still needed to decide which real life problems might be the most conductive to LiF’s optimum finding prowess. …
StreamingBandit
I recently added an implementation of our Lock-in Feedback algorithm to StreamingBandit. StreamingBandit was originally developed by Maurits Kaptein and Jules Kruijswijk as “a Python Tornado based asynchronous web server to quickly setup and evaluate …
