experiment was able to be conducted allowing people to compare moon at different position of sky without physically moving their head and changing angles. The result of the experiment disproved the previous experiment. Even though the factor of perception angle was eliminated, the illusion still existed. People still perceived the artificial moon posed at the horizontal position in the sky as larger. Built upon the analysis of their precedent in the topic, Rock and Kaufman proposed an…

Don Delillo, the author of White Noise, wrote an incredible story about the invention of plots, and explains how naming things correlates with the idea of certainty and uncertainty.

Following this achievement, I graduated in Electrical Engineering taking major classes on theoretical signal processing and accomplishing a bachelor thesis on the modeling of brain hemodynamics. This made me…
