By the 3rd week pick your major professor for your thesis committee
If I need scholar option of film
du.kanopy.com (for videos, film, need like a 10 minute clip etc.)
Set up a meeting with Peggy Keeran (pkeeran@du.edu) research librarian go
20 Horus a week on campus
20 hours a week off campus - part time CPT
Go to employment and training page on DU ISSS page

Narrative to editing to one person vs
If I’m a storyteller, how does the narrative change from one point to one point

Developing a proposal on how you’ll do the project
- have to be logically assuming, this is how im gonna approach it, have it well documented to back yourself up.
- this is my prior work that is guiding me to this direction,
Thesis statement:
A thesis statement is one to three sentences that express the main idea of a research (documentation) paper, i.e. an expository or argumentative test-based work. It makes a specific claim, directly answering a question
Example:
What technology are you using how you doing it?
Are you bending an aesthetics?
What is the critical dialogue that you are asking, what are you drawing out as your topic
What is the critical dialogue that you are asking, what are you drawing out as your topic
Is it something new, is it argumentative (this or that), answering something
Thesis trials:

delta
When you’re deep in a state of dreamless sleep, your brain is producing delta waves, which are the slowest type of brainwave. They measure between 0.5 and 4 Hz.
theta
-When you’re sleeping more lightly or when you’re extremely relaxed, your brain may produce more theta waves. Theta waves measure between 4 and 8 Hz.
alpha
Your brain produces these waves when you’re not focusing too hard on anything in particular. Whatever you’re doing, you’re probably feeling relatively calm and relaxed. These waves measure between 8 and 12 Hz.
beta
With these kinds of brain waves, you’re wide awake, alert, and focused. You’re going about your activities of daily living and making decisions. This is when your brain produces higher-speed beta waves, which measure between about 12 and 35 Hz.
gamma
Your brain produces the speediest of brain waves, the gamma waves, when you’re actively involved in processing information and learning. You’re concentrating and solving problems, and these brainwaves, which tend to measure upward of 35 Hz, are the proof.
People can enhance their attention by controlling their own alpha brain waves, and a good editing makes or breaks a story,
By focusing on a (certain brainwave, alpha) … we can try to control the narrative of visual post-production
By enhancing their attention
From using bio-sensing sensors and softwares, we can edit a video
This can be a starting access for
Possibilities
Some other way to think about bio signal
Some new way of creating visual narrative
? Is it about composition of media material
Composing a sound composition that can be translated to video
Use biosensing and or biosignals (biosignaling) to find new ways to approach multimedia composition
Generate new patterns/approaches,
Idea of accessibility, people don’t have the tangible approaches (broadening the accessibility
Are my tangible skills questioned with this new way of editing
Hidden signals that happen while I edit, expose that to see the new possibilities, spectrum of editing
Hybridization of biosignal and my current editing skills that would be able to access a whole new visual spectrum
based on neurofeedback they receive as they perform a particular task.
By utilizing Electroencephalography (EEG)/ electromyography sensor (EMG), we will digitize emotional changes through brainwave analysis to discover new ways to approach multimedia composition in real-time and access a new visual spectrum that hasn’t been explored in traditional video/audio editing techniques. This experiment will also explorer accessibility for people with disabilities to dial into their creative potential of storytelling and editing.
produce data from biosensors to discover new ways to approach multimedia composition in real-time and access a new visual spectrum that hasn’t been explored in traditional video/audio editing techniques.
We will focus on alpha waves and the attention data
Editing is a tangible skill
This project will also explore accessibility for people with disabilities to dial into their creative potential of storytelling and editing.

Re-mediation —> collage was remediated to video compositing (?)
Dead media —> what’s dead in the past like VHS
Medical measurements into numbers to have an effect to video editing/audio composition
- Imaginary media —> here’s where you plugin,
- make brain caps using Arduino
Signal —> through open sound control to get numbers out of it

Getting thesis done, wrapping context around that, briefly break out “using these methods, done this before, but developing new methods, etc”
Literature review - looking over your resources / bibliography should be specific
