Hoje iremos conhecer mais sobre o trabalho de ilustracao da estudante de Design de Moda da UFC, Auxi Silveira! Ela tem 26 anos, ex-futura historiadora, atual estudante de Design de Moda. E Apaixonada por ilustracao, fotografia e chocolate crocante. Encontrou na moda uma profissao capaz de expandir seus horizontes. Adora viajar, ler e desenhar. Desde quando voce comecou a se interessar por ilustracao?Auxi Silveira: Sempre gostei de desenhar, desde crianca. Ficava horas desenhando rostos, olhos, pessoas, bichinhos, enfim. Ate mesmo na escola, durante as aulas, nao deixava de rabiscar nas folhas do caderno e acabava sempre levando bronca. Quando cursei historia, meu primeiro curso de graduacao, acabei me afastando um pouco do desenho, mas nao deixava de admirar os trabalhos de certos artistas. Foi durante o curso de moda que me reaproximei da ilustracao e comecei a utilizar ferramentas como o photoshop e o Illustrator. De onde voce busca inspiracao para suas ilustracoes?A.S.: Inspiro-me muito nas imagens de fotografos que admiro, pois sempre gostei de fotografia, o Eugenio Recuenco e o meu preferido . Como ocorreram seus primeiros contatos com os softwares graficos? Apos esse contato, o que mudou no seu modo de desenhar?A.S.: Meu primeiro contato foi editando fotografias. O fato e que me apaixonei pelo mundo de possibilidades que o software grafico te da. Sem contar no ctrl+Z que sempre salva (risos). A partir dai comecei a pintar minhas ilustracoes no photoshop e a desenhar tambem, com a ajuda de uma mesa digitalizadora. Quem sao seus ilustradores preferidos? A.S.: Adoro o Manara e o Conrad Roset.O que voce tem a dizer para pessoas que estao comecando a utilizar os softwares graficos aplicados a ilustracao e a ilustracao de moda? A.S.: Eu diria que treinar e a chave pra voce conseguir chegar em um resultado final bacana. Aos poucos voce vai pegando o jeito, descobrindo novas formas de fazer algo que parecia super dificil. Desenhar e um exercicio de paciencia mesmo, tem que persistir , se dedicar e procurar descobrir seu estilo. O software grafico, como eu disse antes, e uma ferramenta excelente pelas possibilidades que ele oferece , voce pode brincar com texturas, cores, formas livremente, e isso, pra moda, inclusive, e fantastico.Alguns dos trabalhos da Auxi! o/O que acharam? Lindos ne?Quem quiser ver mais desenhos da Auxi, ela tem um Tumblr! http://auxidesenhos.tumblr.com/;* Gente, as inscricoes para as novas turmas do curso de NIVELAMENTO DE SOFTWARES GRAFICOS EM MODA ja comecaram! Nao deixem de participar! E gratuito e, alem do conhecimento, voce ainda leva um certificado! Duas opcoes de turmas: TERCA DAS 14:00 AS 18:00 OU QUINTA DAS 14:00 AS 18:00!Qualquer duvida, manda pro nosso e-mail, ou pergunta por aqui mesmo!Beijos!Aguardo voces! Ola! Hoje teremos um tutorial de Photoshop! Bem simples e facinho, mas que permite voce fazer coisas bem legais! Vamos aprender como transformar uma imagem qualquer em um "brush" (pincel). Primeiro, escolha a imagem. Pode ser qualquer coisa, mas e legal que seja uma imagem mais simples, com linhas delimitadas, pelo menos agora, para a gente aprender.1 - Escolhi essa imagem de um oculos vintage.2 - Elimino o
fundo, deixando transparente. Para fazer isso, uma das possibilidades e clicar duas vezes na camada para desbloquear (se a sua camada estiver bloqueada), selecione as areas brancas e aperte a tecla "Delete".3 - Va no menu superior, em Editar > Definir Predefinicao de Pincel.4 - Essa janelinha aparecera. Bote um nome no seu pincel e clique "ok".5 - Va na ferramenta "Brush"(Pincel) e, la no menu de cima selecione, dentre os demais, o pincel que voce criou. Ele provavelmente sera o ultimo da lista. 6 - Prontinho, agora e so usar seu pincel utilizando varias cores e tamanhos!O que acharam? Ajudou alguma coisa?Beijos e ate a proxima!;*
Ola! Hoje vamos aprender a usar a ferramenta Pen Tool para contornar imagens. A Pen Tool permite criar tracos mais precisos, o que e bem legal para contornar, desenhar, corrigir imagens. Logo abaixo temos a imagem de um vestido. O que vou fazer e tracar um contorno nesse vestido.Nao se esqueca de selecionar as opcoes indicadas em vermelho na imagem a baixo. Selecione a ferramenta Pen Tool, selecione a opcao Path, e no quadradinho, a opcao Combine Shapes. Abra uma nova camada em cima da imagem que voce quer contornar (voce tambem pode fazer direto em cima da imagem, mas quando o traco esta em outra camada e mais facil de fazer alguma alteracao). Com a ferramenta Pen Tool ja selecionada faca um ponto com um clique no mouse.Depois disso, pressione a tecla Alt, e faca outro ponto, solte a tecla Alt, mas sem soltar o botao esquerdo do mouse, mantenha ele pressionado. Agora arraste o ponto para mover a linha que foi formada, transformando-a em curva.Depois que a linha estiver moldada na forma do vestido, vamos continuar a fazer isso contornando todas as outras partes do vestido. Para fazer o proximo ponto, pressione Alt, clique no ultimo ponto que voce fez (o ponto que tem as linhas de mudanca de forma ao apertar o Alt e clicar nela, uma dessas linhas vai sumir). Continue pressionando Alt e faca um novo ponto e assim por diante. O Alt deve estar sempre pressionado quando fazemos uma nova linha, pois ele deixa as linhas retas, mais faceis de trabalhar quando forem transformadas em curvas.Quando voce terminar o vestido todo e hora de cobrir esse tracado. Clique na ferramenta Pincel, e coloque as definicoes como preferir, cor e espessura do pincel: essas serao as caracteristicas do seu tracado.Selecione novamente a ferramenta Pen Tool e, com o botao esquerdo do mouse, clique sobre o contorno e selecione a opcao: Tracar demarcador.Essa janela aparecera:Selecione Pincel e aperte OK.Todas as linhas que voce fez com a Pen Tool agora estao devidamente tracadas de preto e com a espessura desejada. Pressione Esc para remover as linhas da Pen Tool que ficam por baixo.Aqui eu ja removi a imagem do vestido e ficamos apenas com o contorno.Na imagem abaixo pintei o vestido, para voces virem como a pintura com uma linha mais precisa. Parece um traco de vetor, mas diferente dele, o traco da Pen Tool nao pode ser editado depois de pronto. Qualquer duvida, pode perguntar pelos comentarios! o/ Ola! Gente, depois de mais algumas consideracoes nos resolvemos mudar o horario do Nivelamento. ANTES tinha ficado combinado que seria as quartas, das 12:00 as 15:00. AGORA o aluno(a) podera escolher dentre 2 horarios: TERCA E QUARTA de 12:30 as 14:00 OU QUARTA de 12:30 as 15:30. Ta legal pra todo mundo? Lembrando que essa semana nao havera aula.

it was a chair that levitated into the air as a person became more relaxed or giving several thousand visitors to the 2010 Olympic Games the chance to change the lighting on Torontos CN Tower, Canadas Parliament Building and Niagara Falls, the company showed users that their minds could influence the world.MORE: Is wearable technology just for geeks?The company earned roughly a million dollars per year doing branded installations. More importantly, though, the efforts yielded insights into how people interacted with the technology, helping Interaxon better understand how to apply EEG tech to a consumer product.Garten described a day when someone came into the lab to do one of their user tests. It was the first time we had really test-run the algorithm which could tell when you were focused and when you got stressed, she says. There was a little bleep on the screen every time he got distracted. My heart sort of jumped every time I saw that bleep. Her team realized what they had to offer people was a way to learn to exercise control over themselves.For the last two years the team has largely shut down its demonstration and consulting operations to focus on developing Muse, a personal EEG device that sends readings to your phone or tablet. Basically, [it] teaches you to calm your mind, Garten says. With a calm mind, you can do more in life.Muse is shaped like a conventional headband, but it sits on your ears like eyeglasses and runs across your face, just above the eyebrows. It has seven sensors that collect data. Garten says the included application has activities on it that help to calm and settle the mind, such as before bed. Soon, it might also be helpful for noticing when your mind has wandered during a task.MORE: Nike+ Fuelband SE: What wearables should beThe company has raised about $7.5 million to date, Garten says. It closed a $6 million round last year, on an offered $5 million. One of its investors is the actor Ashton Kutcher, who worked references to a company resembling Interaxon into an episode of the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men. Another part of their funding has come from an IndieGogo campaign, where it beat its $150,000 goal by $137,000.At this years Consumer Electronics Show, people waited as long as an hour just to get a chance to try the Muse device. Garten estimated a 75% conversion rate for pre-order sales at the show. As soon as people try it, they get it, she says. Muse is also already generating corporate sales. Garten declined to share specific figures but says that employee assistance programs are pre-ordering the device to help staff with stress, attention, and overall wellness.There may also be a market for inattentive children. Research from 2003 has shown that EEG based training can serve as a drug free alternative for treating ADHD.Still, similar devices didnt deliver. Zeo was a device that also took EEG readings of people to help them get better rest. The sleep industry is a $32 billion industry, and Zeo
had $12.3 million in equity funding, according to a 2010 SEC filing. Thats nearly twice what Interaxon has. But the company shut down. One reason it failed? Because the public didntunderstand it. Less accurate sleep monitors that also measured other activities, such as the Fitbit or Jawbones Up, undermined Zeos market.User education, Garten says, is the biggest hurdle Interaxon faces.MORE: The third wave of computingThere are a number of EEG products on the market, including those by the companies NeuroSky, Emotiv, and Mindwave. Garten believes that Interaxon is different because the company is vertically integrated even the algorithms, which are sophisticated enough to accommodate for different sleep patterns, moods, and sweat, are developed in house.Further research will extend its functionality, Garten says. As we start to expand what Muse can do, those applications will be provided to Musers. Each headset will come with a software development kit to allow third-party developers to build upon that foundation.For professionals and creatives, the possibilities the technology creates could be game changing. Improving attention alone could be enough, but Microsofts Head of Thought Leadership Kelly Jones recently wrote on Huffington Post that consumers are demanding technology thats Intelligently On technology that knows a movie is no time for a phone to ring and a software update notification that can wait until youve met your deadline.In other words, future technology ought to read your mind. Interaxon hopes that such a statement is as much literal as figurative.
brain wave activity on five different displays in order to give a better overview.The vertical, coloured scale to the left shows the power of the brain waves. Blue indicates low power, green and yellow medium, and red high power of the brain waves. The red colour on the middle oval, for example, indicates that Alpha are the most dominating waves in this brainmap, and are most predominant in the posterior (rear) part of the brain.Usually activation of the brain will show up in the brainmap as decreased Theta and Alpha and increased Beta1 and Beta2 activity. On the other hand, if the subject relaxes and connects to his/her unconscious, we would tend to see an increase of Alpha and Theta activity.
beta waves during meditation and resting."These findings indicate that you step away from problem solving both when relaxing and during meditation," says Ellingsen.Nondirective versus concentrationSeveral studies indicate better relaxation and stress management by meditation techniques where you refrain from trying to control the content of the mind."These methods are often described as nondirective, because practitioners do not actively pursue a particular experience or state of mind. They cultivate the ability to tolerate the spontaneous wandering of the mind without getting too much involved. Instead of concentrating on getting away from stressful thought and emotions, you simple let them pass in an effortless way."Take home messageNondirective meditation yields more marked changes in electrical brain wave activity associated with wakeful, relaxed attention, than just resting without any specific mental technique.Story Source:The above story is based on materials provided by The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

have access to all of these different mental states and more in our SDK.Do I have to charge the headband?Yes, you have to charge the headband using micro-USB. It will last approximately 8 hours on a single charge. Can I exercise while wearing the headbandWe created the Melon headband to be the most portable and functional EEG device on the market, and it is designed to allow for use in active settings. The headband is made of a molded rubber exterior that is lined with a breathable, athletic neoprene meant to be soft on your forehead and to allow for athletic use. That said, extremely vigorous movement or excessive sweat could disrupt signal quality.
hand; the measurements were then verified by comparing them with signals recorded by a SQUID. The sensor measured magnetic signals of about 1 picotesla (trillionth of a tesla), which is 50 million times weaker than the Earth's magnetic field.While the sensitivity of the NIST device (left) is still behind the top-of-the-line SQUID technology (right), researchers are quickly closing the gap (Image: NIST)"By making an inexpensive system you could have one in every hospital to test for traumatic brain injuries and one for every football team," says Svenja Knappe, who was part of the research team.The new device is described in a paper published on the journal Biomedical Optics Express and freely available to the public.
14 hz) was originally discovered to prevent seizure activity in cats. SMR activity seems to link brain and body functions.- Gamma brain waves (39-100 hz) are involved in higher mental activity and consolidation of information. An interesting study has shown that advanced Tibetan meditators produce higher levels of gamma than non-meditators both before and during meditation.Are you wondering what kind of brain waves you produce?People tend to talk as if they were producing one type of brain wave (e.g., producing "alpha" for meditating).But these aren't really "separate" brain waves - the categories are just for convenience.They help describe the changes we see in brain activity during different kinds of activities.So we don't ever produce only "one" brain wave type.Our overall brain activity is a mix of all the frequencies at the same time, some in greater quantities and strength than others.The meaning of all this? Balance is the key. We don't want to regularly produce too much or too little of any brainwave frequency.How do we achieve that balance?We need both flexibility and resilience for optimal functioning.Flexibility generally means being able to shift ideas or activities when we need to or when something is just not working.Well, it means the same thing when we talk about the brain.We need to be able to shift our brain activity to match what we are doing. At work, we need to stay focused and attentive and those beta waves are a Good Thing. But when we get home and want to relax, we want to be able to produce less beta and more alpha activity. To get to sleep, we want to be able to slow down even more.So, we get in trouble when we can't shift to match the demands of our lives.We're also in trouble when we get stuck in a certain pattern. For example, after injury of some kind to the brain (and that could be physical or emotional), the brain tries to stabilize itself and it purposely slows down. (For a parallel, think of yourself learning to drive - you wanted to go r-e-a-l s-l-ow to feel in control, right?). But if the brain stays that slow, if it gets "stuck" in the slower frequencies, you will have difficulty concentrating and focusing, thinking clearly, etc.So flexibility is a key goal for efficient brain functioning.Resilience generally means stability - being able to bounce back from negative events and to "bend with the wind, not break". Studies show that people who are resilient are healthier and happier than those who are not.Same thing in the brain. The brain needs to be able to "bounce back" from all the unhealthy things we do to it (drinking, smoking, missing sleep, banging it, etc.) And the resilience we all need to stay healthy and happy starts in the brain.Resilience is critical for your brain to be and stay effective.When something goes wrong, likely it is because our brain is lacking either flexibility or resilience.So -- what do we know so far?We want our brain to be both flexible - able to adjust to whatever we are
wanting to do - and resilient - able to go with the flow.To do this, it needs access to a variety of different brain states.These states are produced by different patterns and types of brain wave frequencies.We can see and measure these patterns of activity in the EEG.EEG biofeedback is a method for increasing both flexibility and resilience of the brain by using the EEG to see our brain waves.It is important to think about EEG neurofeedback as training thebehaviour of brain waves, not trying to promote one type of specific activity over another. For general health and wellness purposes, we need all the brain wave types, but we need our brain to have the flexibility and resilience to be able to balance the brain wave activity as necessary for what we are doing at any one time.What stops our brain from having this balance all the time?The big 6:InjuryMedications, including alcoholFatigueEmotional distressPainStressThese 6 types of problems tend to create a pattern in our brain's activity that is hard to shift.In chaos theory, we would call this pattern a "chaotic attractor". Getting "stuck" in a specific kind of brain behaviour is like being caught in an attractor.Even if you aren't into chaos theory, you know being "stuck" doesn't work - it keeps us in a place we likely don't want to be all the time and makes it harder to dedicate our energies to something else -> Flexibility and Resilience. Next, let's take a closer look at how neurofeedback can be used to change brain activity.Click on the "Neurofeedback Tour" button in the menu at left.
Android App Displays Brain Waves Via Wireless Headband [VIDEO]1.8kSHARES Share Share Ads by GoogleOnline Help Desk Software - In 2 minutes, You'll set it up! Try super user friendly Freshdesk.www.freshdesk.comBY CHARLIE WHITEHere's an experimental app that can measure your brain waves. This wireless device embraces the head, clips onto an earlobe, and measures neural activity and pulse. The results are sent to an gaming app installed on an Android smartphone, which displays graphs and info about the state of the brain during a 30-second test.This reminds us of the XWave device we reviewed last winter. That $100 headband wasn't wireless, but plugged into an iPhone's earphone jack. As it communicated with an iPhone app, the more cerebral members of our group were able to document their state of nirvana for all to see.While that device was pretty much a parlor game, this conceptual device, designed by KDDI R&D Laboratories, looks to be more sophisticated. According to Japan Trends, the device was introduced this week at theInternational Modern Hospital Show in Tokyo, and is more of a biofeedback system, appearing to take portable brainwave measurement to the next level.The signal from its headband is received on an Android smartphone, where the test subject plays one of three different games for 30 seconds. Then, the app displays a chart that graphs concentration and meditation, otherwise known as "focused state" and "relaxed state." The app also works without a game, where the test subject thinks about various emotional topics for 30 seconds, and then measures the result.The device is not available for sale yet. So far, it's in the concept and research stage. Could this be the precursor to portable lie detectors? Perhaps it could be used for market research, measuring people's reactions to various advertisements or products. Maybe it could be used to gauge the interest level of a tech article on the web.Still, we're skeptical. Let us know in the comments if you think this is a useful brain research tool, or just another parlor game.Graphic courtesy KDDI R&D Laboratories Voce e bom em matematica? A questao e de uma prova do ITA. Pense no calculo e depois veja a solucao. A questao abaixo caiu na prova do ITA do ano passado, portanto ai vai um exemplo para os que almejam estudar nas melhores universidades do pais, ok? Pura matematica.Uma mae e 21 anos mais velha que o filho. Daqui ha 6 anos a mae tera uma idade 5 vezes maior que o filho. Pergunta: Onde esta o pai agora? Ha que fazer alguns calculos para obter a resposta. Por mais incrivel que pareca a resposta e dada pela matematica. PENSE... Solucao: Analisando Hoje : Adotamos a idade da mae como sendo = Y anos.. Adotamos a idade do menino como sendo =X anos.. Portanto, como a mae e 21 anos mais velha, temos: Y = X + 21 Daqui a 6 anos, ou seja: ( Y + 6 ) e ( X + 6 ) Daqui a 6 anos a mae tera idade 5 vezes maior que a do filho, ou seja:
Y + 6 = 5 ( X + 6 ) Resolvendo a equacao, temos: Y + 6 = 5 X + 30 Y = 5X + 24 Se substituirmos o valor acima de Y na primeira equacao (Y = X+ 21), teremos: 5X + 24 = X + 21 5X - 1X = 21 - 24 Logo: 4X = -3X = - 3/4O menino tem hoje -3/4 anos, ou seja, - 9 meses (menos nove meses!!). A resposta e logica : Se o menino tem exatos menos 9 meses, ele nascera daqui a nove meses, entao a resposta do problema proposto: O PAI ESTA COMENDO A MAE ENQUANTO VOCE ESQUENTA A CABECA!!!
