1st CREDO Visegrad Workshop 2024

Sonification has a long history in the space sciences. The technological advancements brought it to pass from being on the forefront to behind the scenes in space sciences. Despite the sciences and mathematics continue facing challenges to avoid estationarization and linearisation of the changes/data/telemetry acquired. In this presentation I will talk about some aspects sonification may...

Within the vast field of Astrophysics, the study of variable stars is
expansive and inclusive. Groundbreaking discoveries can be made with
modest instrumentation and small telescopes, also by amateurs, and
treasure troves of new unexplored data are available to the scientific
community and the public. Therefore, this field lends itself perfectly
to involving more people in astronomical...

The nature of quantum states of light is inherently governed by the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, leading to the presence of zero-point
energy. A squeezed vacuum state emerges as a reshaped fluctuation of
this zero-point energy. To characterize and comprehend a squeezed
vacuum, the utilization of a bright field becomes pivotal. This bright
field not only amplifies the squeezed vacuum...

Due to the limited sensibility of vision, astronomers usually only “look at” computer purified data sets. Auditory and tactile means provide brand-new ways for us to examine the sky. Inspired by Harvard Astronomy Lab and Clay Telescope’s Orchestar (color arduino), we present the proof of concept of a very sensitive yet simple device to transfer color into sounds and haptic motion built by...

The search for the unseen matter will persist as desirable as a pinnacle discovery for
humankind. The opportunity about the ethereal richness of the information composing the universe is not a delusion, but a disposition of curiosity although seemingly without an answer up to this date. The infinity of suspicions whether dark matter is (un)real do not rest on anticlimactic futility of knowing...

Solar eclipses are profound experiences. LightSound is a sonification
tool designed for solar eclipses. The device converts light to sound for
blind, low-vision, or non-visual learners as a way to observe solar
eclipses through sound. The LightSound team is building 750+ devices to
be donated for the upcoming April 2024 total solar eclipse. I will
provide an update on the project and...

Accurately decomposing the data into its many oscillation modes is one of the priorities of science.   The gravitational wave telemetry is not an exception to this.   In this presentation I will present the techniques I used to embed the usage of sound as an alternative to support the scrutinization of these events and the following comparative studies going on towards proving or discarding...

The REINFORCE EU (Research Infrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe) was a three-
year long SwafS project which engaged citizens in active collaboration with the
scientists working in large research infrastructures across Europe. The overall aim
was to bridge the gap between them and reinforce society’s science capital. The
citizen scientists had at their disposal data from four different...

"Playing with the Universe" - One of the main drivers of the CREDO mission.

Update, perspective on further actions. Exploration.

To what extent are the random signals we observe a coincidence? Can cosmic radiation be a carrier of signals from autonomous systems - the 'cosmic ether'?

"Playing with the Universe" An artistic endeavor engaging all willing participants present during the...
