I’m not sure if this is going off on a tangent but I though while reading this article that it would be really cool to somehow map people’s perceptions of their environments. For example, it could be really neat to see how people perceive public space or how soldiers react to adverse situations. Surely there would be a lot of necessary technology to do such a thing but the idea is one I found interesting. There are so many applications where it would be useful to know how people perceiving and reacting to their environment without actually having to ask them.
To me it also seems that this article relates somewhat to what we’ve discussed in previous classes about big data and the harvesting of information off of social media websites. Those applications seem to take try to understand how humans perceive certain phenomena based on what they express while EPBG I believe is trying to gain an understanding of how humans understand a phenomena though not necessarily how they outwardly express that understanding.
