Ok, may as well announce it here too, introducing Cerebelle (@cerebelleapp):
Cerebelle is your mobile bio-signal/motion data processing lab and research study distribution app for mobile first EEG/EMG/EOG/IMU studies in general BCI/sleep/dream research modalities on iPad & iOS.
Been locked out of my old phone & phone # for personal use for 2 weeks and new carrier replacement one from Verizon is coming via UPS in the next 3 days and I can't imagine some of the messages waiting for me on it 😬🫣

One particular section in this article by @Saraphinn is an experience that I have when lucid dreaming: conversing & interacting with a character/entity that is a benevolent teacher. There's a clear in-dream distinction between yourself (inner monologue voice) vs. "it". But...
Amazing write-up by @Saraphinn Re: lucid dreaming, VR, olfactory (essential oil) triggers... great article references, and very much in line with some experimental modalities that I hope to be able to model and execute in mobile studies w/ Cerebelle.

My "It" talks and also writes and draws in a very particular way. I've experienced this in other ways: I'm allergic to diphenhydramine and can see the "It's" writing as if embossed on plain walls when I stare at it when having the allergic reaction. All I need is a blank surface
There is a lot of "pain" involved in learning difficult subjects especially in engineering. When learning something to use it in an applied manner there are necessary cycles of pain => fun. It can't/shouldn't always be fun & there is a reason for this based on how brains work...
All of this makes me think of how the public education in K-12 in the us needs to be revamped to account for different learning styles in students. Whether self-directed or guided, the current focus on rote memory & recall over conceptual absorption & understanding hurts us.

This afternoon I decided to write a second app using Focus, the framework I'm building for the Open Book. This project tracker app for the @Adafruit MagTag demonstrates Views, ViewControllers, Actions and much more; still a ways to go, but it feels usable! gist.github.com/joeycastillo…
Now? 10 year aged cheddar, of course 😉. Also, switching to Muenster for grilled cheese was amazing, it's perfect.
Cool use of an Arduino Teensy as game controller for iOS

A+ usage of visual language state machines driving the functionality, interface is beautiful
Using Rive's State Machine to create a totally functional design component.
🚀 Ships directly to the Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, and more! @rive_app

Complexity is unattractive to the job market. They want you to be a cog they can easily put into a machine - a specialist with clearly defined boundaries.
They will want you to give up what makes you special - and you can't let that happen.
