Midori-san, the blogging houseplant
If houseplants could blog, what would they say? To find out, Kamakura-based IT company KAYAC Co., Ltd. has developed a sophisticated botanical interface system that lets plants post their thoughts online. A succulent Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerii) named “Midori-san” is now using the system to blog daily from its home at bowls Donburi Cafe in Kamakura.

Brain Wave Sofa: Sitting in your Brainwave EEG Data
The physical shape of the Brainwave Sofa [lucasmaassen.com] by Lucas Maassen and Dries Verbruggen from Unfold is determined by a 3 second wave of Alpha brain activity captured as an elektro-encefalogram (EEG) using a set of electrodes connected to the head

Rupert Sheldrake
Rupert Sheldrake, weltweit einer der kreativsten Biologen, hat das wissenschaftliche Denken revolutioniert durch seine Vision eines lebendigen, sich entwickelnden Universums mit eigenem Gedächtnis. Ursprünglich als Entwicklungsbiologe tätig, wurde er bekannt durch seine Theorie der morphischen Felder und der morphischen Resonanz.

US Patent 5016213 - Method and apparatus for controlling an electrical device using gsr
... electrodermal response and the like of a biologic individual is utilized by programming an electrical device to respond in a desired humanly perceptible fashion to changes in the sense and amplitude of an electrical control signal only in a given range. A value characteristic of the state of an autonomic system, for example, the galvanic skin resistance of the individual, is then sensed and converted to an electrical signal, the absolute value of which changes in sense and amplitude with changes in the sensed value characteristic of the state of the autonomic system and such electrical signal is continuously adjusted in absolute value toward a given electrical value with a given time rate of change approaching the average time rate of change which can be achieved in the value characteristic of the state of the autonomic system by the central nervous system of a biologic individual. The resultant time rate of change in the absolute value of the electrical signal is converted to an electrical signal within the given range and used as the electrical control signal for the electrical device.
