Megan, whose appointment was announced late last week, said that the goals of OFA jibe with his own beliefs about the significance of the visual and performing arts to undergraduates...
...given only a short recovery time (five days or fewer in their "home" time zone) between long flights performed worse on reaction-time and vision tests than those on a longer-term recovery schedule. Researchers also pinpointed a specific area of the brain (the right temporal lobe, which controls visual and spatial memory) which became markedly smaller in the short-term recovery group than in the long-term subjects. It may not be permanent - but it sure sounds unpleasant. The brain, scientists speculate, needs at least 10 days to recover from a multiple time zone trip...
...communists took over four years ago? HONG KONG launched a marketing campaign last week to convince the world that it's a city on the move?while at the same time stressing that it hasn't changed a bit. The centerpiece of this slightly schizophrenic p.r. push: a fresh "visual identity" (what the rest of us call a logo) that cost the territory a cool $1.2 million in designer fees. Reaction so far has been underwhelming, but kids will have fun spotting the embedded H, K and ideograms for Hong Kong...
...Alien: Resurrection. That 1997 sci-fi horror film established Jeunet in international cinema's big-time, but two years in Hollywood left him longing for the charms of Paris. Back home in Montmartre, Jeunet began planning a film that would reflect Paris in his uniquely colorful and contorted visual style and recapture the dream-like atmosphere of his 1991 black comedy Delicatessen. The intent of Amélie, Jeunet says, was to make audiences feel happy-a goal he has clearly fulfilled...
...Vilayanur Ramachandran and Edward Hubbard of the University of California at San Diego. Their studies take advantage of a perceptual quirk: when an image in the periphery of our visual field is surrounded by similarly shaped and colored images, the brain has trouble registering its presence--even though the eye picks it up. They reported at a meeting of the Vision Sciences Society in Sarasota, Fla., last week that even when synesthetes can't "see" a peripheral image--say a 5 that's "crowded" by 3s--they see the color associated with the digit in question. That suggests that synesthesia...
