T-shirts of
the Chaos Society, Silliman University, created by Luel de Jesus from figures
chosen by members of the SU Chaos Society, with a periodic attractor taken
from Sprott's book, Strange Attractors, and a Mandelbrot
Set taken from the manual on Yorke's Dynamics (a computer program).
The photo was taken with a digital camera at Sprott's home while Fred was
visiting, September 1998, the University of Wisconsin for lecturing and
research. (J. C. Sprott on the viewer's left.)
Fred is collaborating with Sprott and Deborah Aks, preparing a computer
program for a time perception experiment. The SU Chaos Society and SU Psychology
students may collaborate on this research second semester, 1998,
and Fred's visit to UW was to facilitate the preparation of this experiment
for use at SU as well as the UW. A cross-cultural aspect is desirable to
determine if there are cultural and environmental influences on the perception
of time as a function of visual stimulus dynamical complexity. A definition
of phenomenal space of the complexity of the strange attractors used as
stimuli from Sprott's attractor generators, along with the perception of
aesthetics, also needs to be developed.
