Jimmy is the winner

This is a waveform visualisation of Loizeau detonating the bomb. You can see it's pretty even all the way along and the bomb blast is easy to spot.

This is Potter detonating the bomb (knowing that it will trigger). You can see the same shape bomb blast but then there's more extreme waves afterwards. It still looks even before and after.

Closer in you get more info. At this magnification you can see the waves from Loizeau's GSR audio output are even, but the frequency is low enough to see individual spikes quite clearly.

At the same magnification, Potter's waves are still too close together to see any spikes at all. This is almost certainly a graphic representation of panic.

[The second 'blob' of activity after the bomb blast is Loizeau laughing, then Potter breathes out and Ward takes a photo: see this image].

I think this now scientifically proves that I am way more scared of that prototype than Jimmy (sorry I couldn't do Matt's because there was too much talking over the GSR audio, however I speculate that Matt will come second). Huston, we have new knowledge.

Don't ask me how I did this. It's taken me goddamn hours. I am sure there will be a much better way, but this was the only useful free one I could find on the net and it took a lot of file conversion back and forth. Coupled with the fact that I don't really understand what I did, I'm just happy to have posted something today.

Can we use the word designtific (like de-scientific)? Is this designtific evidence of actual sensation during use of a prototype?
