The different graphical algorythms in Jackson are like "virtual painters", they have their own "style" and try to express

"Common Pattern"

Problem : how to generate a basic shape that is directly related to all measured waves ? Well, let's imagine a 8 points (one for each wave) in vertical line. Low amplitude waves of non dreaming sleep induce X positions close to 0, so the line is vertical. During any other brain tasks the shape will differ : the higher amplitude the higher x difference position.

Realtime : One draw every measurement

Anna

Based on the "common pattern". 3 of them in different sizes and symetrical positions.
Display the last 3 pattern in shading process
in turned out that the "common pattern" is very close to Anna Wise concepts

Georges

Display a bar code, exactly based on the US widely used code 39. Black areas a little bit expanded for aesthetic reasons but otherwise it could be perfectly readable by any barcode device.
To be read from to top left to bottom right by columms.
Georges display the exact numbers of the last waves measure. Because of the high precision data sent by the headset, the displayed barcode is exactly unique of that brain at that time.

Non realtime : a long run artwork

Benoit

Inspired by Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal work Benoit is also based on the "common pattern". 3 patterns are drawn from the center point one in every quadrant. To create a non perfect mathematical graphic the lower left quadrant is not drawn but other symetry can draw on that part. High "power" waves draw perfectly in Benoit.

Inspired by Jackson Pollock artwork
