I *should* have mentioned it, but was rather hoping to spring it from nowhere when I'd got somewhere. The MIT-designed, Philips-built stress sensor/glove that Jonny brought to the UK meeting comes to mind. Add a number of other factors - heart rate, body status (sitting/walking/running) etc - all easy enough to gather. Drop in some neural network magic dust, and spend a while training by example (rating your available tracks with some categorisation, and perhaps tempo information) would help. It's one of the things I've been meaning to try. I finished EVA-00 last week, using a keyglove for input - so I'm basically on to writing software. Except that the hard disk has now died, inexplicably. And I'm out of money. Anyone hiring? No commitments. Martin -- -----[ Martin J.
