Uluru (Ayers Rock, Australia): 1 Slide Presentation (draft) regarding "Abstract Acceptance (ePoster)-Harvard Health Data Science Symposium" ~ 11/5/21 * A Smartphones, Wearables & Health Symposium at Harvard Medical School examination of the actual-virtual, physical-digital neural effects of the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool on F 11/5/21


1 Slide Presentation (draft) regarding Abstract Acceptance (ePoster)-Harvard Health Data Science Symposium ~ 11/5/21

Monday, November 1, 2021

An examination of the actual-virtual, physical-digital neural effects of the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, regarding meditation, for the online 'Smartphones, Wearables, and Health' 3rd Annual Health Data Science Symposium at Harvard on Friday, November 5, 2021 ~ https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/cnoc-symposium/home


~ Scientific questions ~

•1. Using a waterproof smartphone in a digital mask (eventually viewing the web from the back of REI GLACIER GLASSES with side flaps, or similar) for viewing immersive interactive hot springs, for ex., and see - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html?m=1 (at top, see, too, 5 UC Berkeley Anthropology Actual-Virtual Harbin talks since 2012), combined with a waterproof brainwave headset headband for EEG signals and neural research into the brain, - streaming into Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records - and regarding Agency of choosing, or intentional action, through writing words with the Brainfingers.com headset (https://brainfingers.com), or similar, and without using words or gestures (so just by selecting letters and forming words with one's brain waves), regarding open ended meditation envisioning, what do soakers and meditators write (when asked, or not, in about one or two words), regarding their meditation experience in warm water, both actually in the actual Harbin warm pool, in situ, and virtually from one's home bathtub while visiting and soaking at virtual Harbin, compared with out of warm water? See: A) https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/9/12/2092 - and B) https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-11-14-brainwave-headsets-are-making-their-way-into-classrooms-for-meditation-and-discipline

•2. Using a wristlet such as a Fitbit Charge, or possibly Walmart's waterproof Fitness Tracker Smart Watch, or V19 Smart Watch, and building on the approach and science of "The Relaxation Response" (1975) book, how does eliciting relaxation response meditation in the Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, with eyes closed, differ in measures of oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels in blood, between out of water, and in warm water, and between in the actual Harbin warm pool, and in a bath tub with water at the Harbin warm pool temperature? Then, how do these results differ with viewing virtual Harbin in a smart phone in a digital mask  (possibly building on the V19 Smart Watch, Blood Oxygen SpO2 Heart Rate Monitor Fitness Activity Tracker, IP68 Waterproof with HRV Sleep Health Monitor Smartwatch for Android iOS phones- https://www.walmart.com/ip/V19-Smart-Watch-Blood-Oxygen-SpO2-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Fitness-Activity-Tracker-IP68-Waterproof-HRV-Sleep-Health-Smartwatch-Android-iOS-phones-Red/262090357)?

•3. Long term questions: how best then to stream this data via an internet signal into our Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, and our EMR Avatars, as digital twins? Further, if our individuals Avatar Bot EMR were also coded to see what its human subject was seeing, and writing, cognitively and neurally - without therefore digital agency - how could we code for digital agency itself with artificial intelligence and machine learning so that our 'autonomous' Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records could then write on their own, with agency, as a definition of agency, their meditation experiences reflecting in warm water and out of warm water, in terms of neuroscience, and ethnographically and philosophically too?

Tuesday, October 26, 20201

Thanks so much for this information. In developing my single slide for this 11/5/21 presentation online regarding my actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' STEM and ethnographic research, with, in the warm pool, 1) EEG brainwave headsets, 2) smartphones into digital masks for viewing hot springs for research, and related brain research, and 3) wristlets such as the Fitbit 5 for measuring meditation regarding Oxygen levels in the blood, and in warm water, I notice that waterproof wearables will be key. Not having worked very much at all with these devices in water, let alone in warm water, will I be able to have access to virtual hands-on demonstrations and use of all the other devices that presenters and attendees are sharing, for learning purposes - and for example in a single realistic virtual earth for STEM (such as in Google Street View with Time Slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI with realistic avatar bots - and for device experimentation too)? This being Harvard Medical School, I'm thinking this could indeed be in the works. If there were 2 or 3 waterproof brainwave headsets being presented, and similarly smartphones, and wristlets, it would be invaluable as an actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' brain science researcher to work with these in virtual reality from the SF Bay Area during the conference. Thank you. 

Looking forward to slipping my smartphone into a digital mask (like Google Cardboard) in the SF Bay Area and participating in this HMS 11/5/21 Smartphones' Symposium in virtual reality, both as a presenter, and a learner and researcher about relevant wearables from other presenters, and wearables' manufacturers, as well as networking.

All the best, Scott


Draft of Single Slide Presentation:

An examination of the actual-virtual, physical-digital neural effects of the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool - for the “Smartphones, Wearables & Health” 11/5/21 Symposium at Harvard Medical School

1. Brainwave headset headband for EEG signals and neural research into the brain - streaming into Avatar Bots Electronic Medical Records. See: A) https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/9/12/2092  and B) https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-11-14-brainwave-headsets-are-making-their-way-into-classrooms-for-meditation-and-discipline
2. Smartphone in a digital mask (eventually viewed in the back of REI GLACIER GLASSES with side flaps) of interactive hot springs, for ex., - https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI And even regarding human agency, of choosing through writing words with Brainfingers.com headset (https://brainfingers.com) with no words or gestures, so just by selecting letters and forming words with one's 'brain waves,' both actually in the Harbin warm pool and virtually from one's home bathtub while visiting virtual Harbin. See 5 UC Berkeley Anthropology Actual virtual Harbin talks since 2012 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html, further Brain research while watching hot springs in smartphone (re brainwave headsets EEG signals in different ways).
3. Wristlet for measuring the relaxation response meditation with oxygen levels in blood with the Fitbit 5, and thus meditation scientifically, in warm water, and in new ways, building on the scientific approach in book "The Relaxation Response" (Benson 1972) - https://blog.fitbit.com/introducing-fitbit-sense/ - https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2459.htm - now with wearables.
Summary:  Writing with one's mind re brain fingers too regarding envisioning especially (as language evidence AGENCY-wise), whereas if this data were then streaming into our Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, and our Avatar's EMR, as digital twins, for tele-robotics surgery, for example, and these were also coded to see what a human subject, or patient, was seeing and writing brain-wise too, these avatar EMR wouldn't have agency, until they could write on their own intentional action, so with agency as a definition of agency, in terms of neuroscience, and ethnographically and philosophically too).






Abstract: 

Actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic & STEM projects, and digital research regarding brain processes (at cellular and molecular levels too), in the Harbin warm pool will be synthesized and modeled as data in one realistic virtual Harbin, earth, universe - think Google Street View with Time Slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, Translate, with species & individuals, as realistic Avatar Bots, even for planning precision tele-robotic surgery - as background. Methods: A) brainwave headsets will be used to further EEG brain research, as these then stream new data via WiFi into one realistic virtual earth with avatar bots into their electronic medical records (planned for 7.8 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Pin #). This research has a long term horizon, as chips, sensors and I.T. develop, and virtual brain body mind software for modeling, iterate. B) Subjects will also, in smartphone technology into digital masks, view, and interact with, actual and virtual hot springs, e.g. for immersed Harbin visitors. C) Wristlets such as the Fitbit 5 will be used to study meditation effects building on the relaxation response (Benson MD 1972) in warm water, at Harbin and in bathtubs, relating to oxygen levels in the blood. Results, relating to: a) EEG signals for measuring electrical impulses of a group of neurons experiencing change in a related electrical field - and also regarding subtle eye movements (Brainfingers.com), for agency, b) brainwave headset output in viewing hot springs, with virtual interactivity, and c) meditation, will be integrated. Conclusion: these 3 examinations make approaches possible to studying scientifically the neural effects of visiting hot springs. This study seeks to begin to quantify aspects of the 'Harbin experience,' scientifically, and ethnographically, both actually and virtually, physically and digitally, and in developing a realistic virtual earth for STEM, at the street view, cell and molecular levels.

to Jim, Jane, John, Pin, Sandy, Claudia, Larry, Ed, Mainak


Jim, All, 


Thanks again for your email this morning, so much. 


In thinking about this Harvard Smartphone's & Weareable's Symposium next Friday 11/5/21 in Cambridge - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/uluru.html?m=0 - in which I'm a presenter now online, and related 'wristlets' - for quantifying meditation in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, I recently found this Fitness Tracker Smart Watch for Blood Pressure + https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1453587343688957953?s=20 - for $10.65 from Walmart. I found this particular Blood pressure smart watch because I was just looking at this Stanford Medicine Chair and Cardiologist Bob Harrington MD Tweet - https://twitter.com/HeartBobH/status/1453546730452967424?s=20 - and since my father also was taking half an aspirin in the last 2 decades or so of his life as a blood thinner (all here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/cappadocia-chimneys-in-goreme-turkey.html?m=0 ). 

And while I think I would only use such a Walmart Fitness Tracker Smart Watch for Blood Pressure mostly in state parks pet your email and re IT ESPECIALLY, (and perhaps once a weekend on a walk around dusk up to the nearby UU Church of Kensington Berkeley, on and out of an electronic shield bag, to begin to log weekly related data ... and due to the 'culture' of the UU Church hill destination somehow, with parallels to the culture of Harbin, of which I'm an ethnographer, and researcher) ... since these devices, while insecure, are designed to be always on for distributed computing's benefits ... go figure. :)

I also think that for trying out the waterproof smartphones and wristlets at this one day Harvard Symposium on 11/5/21 in person could be invaluable, and which devices only might be accessible there, ... being there would be invaluable, and that the Harvard Smartphone's Symposium of November 2022 would be way too late for emerging Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic research project developments. 


I found in some of these regards - 


The best waterproof phones in 2021

https://www.tomsguide.com/best-picks/best-waterproof-and-water-resistant-phones


The Best Waterproof Fitness Trackers for 2021

Not all fitness trackers can hang out in the deep end. If you want to count your laps with something you can wear in the pool, check out one of the best waterproof fitness trackers we've tested.

https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-waterproof-fitness-trackers


I also think the best WATERPROOF brainwave headsets, initially for EEG but developing for all kinds of brain research, and which are integrate-able eventually with, say, the waterproof Pixel Smartphone Android OS device - with waterproof digital mask (post Google Cardboard) to slip smartphone into at this stage ... will benefit enormously from the new Google Tensor SoC chip ... and for developing remote neuroscience research web streamed into Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records (for 7.8 billion people, brainstorming-wise), a WUaS project, as well as a Harbin research project, and as I have laid out in my accepted Abstract and now 1 Slide Presentation for this upcoming Friday 11/5/22 at Harvard Medical School  ... 


See, too - 

Google has unveiled its latest smartphone, containing the tech giant's first self-designed computer chip. The Pixel 6 contains Google's "Tensor" processor, which it says enables new phone features powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning


AND 

THIS IS THE PIXEL 6, GOOGLE’S TAKE ON AN ‘ULTRA HIGH END’ PHONE

Google’s new Tensor SoC is the heart of its next phone

https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605094/google-pixel-6-pro-tensor-processor-specs-ai-ml


The idea again is (from my 1 Slide Presentation online, at Harvard for 11/5/21): 


2. Smartphone in a digital mask (eventually viewed in the back of REI GLACIER GLASSES with side flaps) of interactive hot springs, for ex., - 

https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI - in one's bathtub for brain research (and esp. in the Harbin warm pool itself)


Best regards, Scott

Is Pixel 6 Waterproof?

June 22, 2021

https://i-blades.com/blogs/news/is-pixel-6-waterproof

(it's getting there)


Searched on "best waterproof brainwave headsets" and found NOTHING - but this is one take on them ... 


Our EEG Headset Reviews: We Look At For The Best EEG Headset On The Market Today

https://the-unwinder.com/reviews/best-eeg-headset/

'Kicking the tires' actually and physically at this Harvard Smartphone's Symposium on F 11/5/21 has much merit, but I think I'll be doing it virtually from the SF Bay Area ... Alas!


Will integrate much of the above further into my 1 Slide Presentation further - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/uluru.html?m=0 ... 


Further thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?

Thank you, Jim and All!

Best regards, Scott
