Seeks to analyze the impact of sonification processes on the sound arts, analyzing their first and second order modes in the definition of production methodologies, based on the genetic code of leptospirosis, used in the development of sound and musical elements with Iannix software integrated in the performance Zoe: Actant (2017), presented at the Archipelago Center for Contemporary Arts of the Azores. This project began between March and May in a context of artistic residency, called Salutem: to your health, at the Divino Espírito Santo Hospital, in Ponta Delgada. There was collaboration and involvement with professionals and users of that hospital, in particular with the research center focused on the study of leptospirosis and the most common fluid analysis center - blood, urine, feces and sputum - and also the virology center. Project developed in the research group UGPM - Unit of Molecular Genetics and Pathology and also by IGC group: Genetics Research Group BioISI - Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute. Hospital do Divino Espírito Santo in Azores, Portugal. Methodology and process in music composition. Sonification developed with sound recorded with a inductor microphone capturing sound under de human cognition from the electromagnetic fields present in the machines of the hospital labs. This documentation is integrated in the scientific article: Zoonosis leptospirosis spiral rhythms as a sound and musical infection published in the book #18.ART: Da Admiravél oderm das coisas: Arte, emoção e tecnologia. Hugo Paquete. 2017-2019.

Although I am a huge believer in experimental political science and experimental cooking, I try to take both with a grain of salt. It's funny how much Chris Kimball's insistence on science mirrors that of Donald Green. I admire them both.

With experiments, you're using controlled scientific procedures and the manipulation of variables to find cause and effect, or to test a hypothesis. With correlation research, two or more naturally occurring variables are measured to find the relationship between them. Unlike experiments, the researcher does not directly manipulate the variables. The most important difference is that in the experimental method, there is direct involvement and messing around to make things happen. In correlation research, it's simply observing the relationship between variables - how are changes in one variable reflected in changes in the other variable? - no manipulation!
