A scarf knitted with brain waves

Artist duo Varvara Guljajeva and Mar Canet teamed up with a Barcelona-based brain researcher named Sebastian Mealla to create NeuroKnitting. The team hooked a knitting machine created by the artists up to an EEG recording, which measures electric pulses from the brain.

Users listened to the aria and seven variations of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” while wearing an EEG headset in order to measure different levels of relaxation, excitement, and cognitive load in response to the music. The data from the EEG was sent to the Knitic machine, which translated it into a two-colored pattern.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
