Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

Participating Artists:
Megan Abajian, Sarah Arcotta, Melanie Atherton, Joseph Barros, Marissa Bolton, Diana Carns, Danielle Enos, Natasha Feliciano, Jacob Ginga, Andrew Laverty, Eric Lintala, Regina Macomber, Kayla McKenna, Anthony Miraglia, Claire Munley, Barbara Pagh, Elena Peteva, Lauren Savoia, Suzanne Schireson, Cathy Smilan, Deb Smook, Caroline Stjarnborg, John Trainor and UMass Dartmouth Art Education and Fine Arts students (collaborative work)
The CVPA Art Education Department is pleased to present Paper Unleashed: Materials in Art Education, an exhibition featuring over 30 works created by art education students, art education alumni, art teachers, artists, and CVPA faculty, who work with paper as a medium. The gallery is located at the College of Visual and Performing Arts of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The exhibition Paper Unleashed: Materials in Art Education celebrates the most basic of materials that can be used in almost any context, educational or creative setting. This exhibition endeavors to explore the many ways in which paper can be used to create a variety of art forms while supporting corresponding teaching methodologies.
The exhibition will feature an artist talk by Barbara Pagh, who has been working with handmade paper since the 1970s. She enjoys being able to control the size, color and texture of the paper, explorations that led to the creation of three-dimensional forms to be assembled into installation pieces. Ms. Pagh will discuss her inspiration for the works in paper, with an emphasis on the results of sabbatical projects where she worked to interpret megalithic sites in Scotland, Ireland and Brittany. A selection of elements from the Ireland exhibition, Passages will be on view. The artist talk will take place during the reception on Thursday October 29, 2015 at 5 pm.
The Art Education Program at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth challenges students to be critical thinkers, while developing visual, verbal and written skills, which serve them professionally and personally as discerning individuals living in a community with others. The Art Education program is dedicated to increasing the capacity of its graduates to question issues related to teaching, thinking, learning, and producing in and through the visual arts. This program offers a sequence of practical, theoretical, and studio-based experiences through which students build on their knowledge, skills, and confidence as art educators. The Art Education program is approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to offer initial and professional licensure. The program emphasizes professional development and lifelong learning for teachers who already hold teaching licenses in the arts or related fields.

Title:
Planning Epilepsy Treatment Using Geodesic Targeting for Electrical Neuromodulation
Abstract:
Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders; affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. Approximately 30% of epileptic patients do not respond to the standard anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), with many more suffering from the side effects of these drugs. For this group of people, surgical resection of brain tissue is one of the few viable treatment options. Recent work has shown that injecting current into the head changes the resting state of groups of neurons: either inhibiting or facilitating their function. Determining the energy deposited on the cortical surface requires complex simulation and analysis. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to automate the detection and analysis of epileptic EEG waveforms, and how accurate simulation allows these waveforms to be localized to the brain surface. The discussion will then tackle the optimization of current source configuration required to produce a desired energy characterization at the brain s urface to be used to inhibit epileptogenic brain tissue, and treat epilepsy without the use of AEDs.
Bio:
Erik Anderson is currently a Scientist at Electrical Geodesics, Inc (EGI). He received his PhD in Computing in 2011 from the University of Utah. During the tenure of his graduate and post-graduate studies at the Scientific Imaging Institute at the University of Utah, he focused on the challenges of multidisciplinary collaboration with a strong emphasis on psychological and psychiatric studies. Erik was recruited by EGI in 2013 for his experience in the processing and visualization of EEG data and expertise in the visualization of simulated data. His current research revolves around the analysis and visualization of electrophysiological simulations of the brain.
Pastries and Beverages will be served.

MASTER OF SCIENCE PROJECT DEFENSE BY: Supreeth Reddy Kalva
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: DETECTION OF EMPTY SPACES IN A PARKING LOT
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
The objective of this project is to detect empty spaces in a parking lot by using advanced digital image processing techniques. Instead of using traditional sensors, in this project, I developed a software application, which greatly reduces the establishing and maintenance cost of the detection. I investigated an image processing approach to detect the empty space regions, which includes edge detection and morphological operators. The edge detection is designed for recognizing the empty space by identifying the points in digital images at which the image brightness changes sharply; the morphological operators are used to identify the recognized empty spaces. The experiment results in the project show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed detection techniques. The techniques in the project could be applied for other potential applications such as geographical mapping and parking arrangements.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
