1. THE MISSION OF THE ART | SCI CENTERTo pursue, facilitate and promote research and programs that demonstrate the potential of media arts and science collaborations. Media artists and scientists from the home campus, UCLA, from the UC system, the national and international communities will approach the center's intention to address ethical, social and environmental issues of contemporary scientific innovations and artistic projects that respond to cutting-edge inventions and research. http://artsci.ucla.edu

3. Characterization of the beating burst (BB) spectral characteristics of the heartbeat during the 0-50, 50-75 and 75-83 %D stages. 0-50%D stage characterized by one BB per 2 hour period. spectrogram reveals several overtones (~7) above the principle frequency which reaches a maximum of 0.52 ± 0.03 Hz. maximum rms amplitude during the BB is 2.66 ± 0.15 mm as seen in the time series data below (scale bar = 50 mm). typical BB lasts for 15 ± 3 min, FFT slices are measured at five points along the burst corresponding to specific burst fractions (bf) between 0 and 1.0, where 0 is the beginning and 1.0 is the end of the burst. FFTs at bf = 0, 0.5 and 1.0 are shown and the FFT slice at bf 0.5 clearly displays several overtones. (the axis shown for bf 1.0 has a logarithmic amplitude scale in mm).
