Werewolves, Free Beer and more
April 3rd, 2011
The last week I spent at the IK2011 in Günne for the second time. I already wrote many things about the spring school in the field of cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence in my article about the last year’s IK. But even if I do not repeat all this, there are some points to mention.
To the topWhy We Enjoy Music
August 10th, 2009
Some time ago I read “On Intelligence” by Jeff Hawkins. In this book he presents his hypothesis that the human intelligence is based mainly on prediction, to put it in a nutshell. Building on this I developed an explanation approach for the question why we enjoy music.
Pi as Music
June 4th, 2009
Some weeks ago I had the idea to write a program which uses the decimal places of Pi to generate music. You would get an endless music which never repeats. This would be in some kind random, but also completely dertemined. However, someone has already done a program like this and also added a nice graphical interface: PI10K on avoision.com
The Wall
February 22nd, 2009
Saturday evening I attended the concert “The Wall – in its entirety” by The Australian Pink Floyd Show (or just Aussiefloyd) in the AWD-Hall in Hannover. About a year ago I already wrote about The Australien Pink Floyd Show. This band is a Pink Floyd tribute band, which wants to play the music of Pink Floyd as near to the original as possible. The Wall may not be the favorite album of each Pink Floyd fan, but live its absolutly awesome!
Before I go on with further details I want to warn you that I may spoil one or two surprises.
