Abstract: Systems and methods for inducing a transformation in collective intelligence are herein provided. A collective mission and a user group to whom the collective mission applies are defined. User profiles for users of the user group are built, each one of the user profiles defining an engagement level of a given user, the engagement level having a plurality of components. The users are provided with tasks in accordance with a corresponding engagement level, the tasks designed to bring about progression of the users towards the collective mission. User behavior in response to the tasks is monitored and changes in user behavior are detected, the changes indicative of a modification of the engagement level. The user profiles are updated to reflect the modification of the engagement level. The steps of providing users with tasks, monitoring user behavior and detecting changes therein, and updating user profiles may be repeated.

Abstract: An apparatus for the measurement in realtime of the transfer function in both magnitude and phase of an unknown system including apparatus for generating a pseudo-random binary sequence as a test signal, means to match the timing of this sequence and of the sampling process so that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of the test signal and the response signal obtained from the unknown system can be computed, means such that this operation can be repeated successively in precisely the same manner without significant time (phase) jitter, means such that the magnitude function obtained from any single transformation can be computed and displayed, and means such that the difference between the phase functions obtained from two distinct DFT's can be computed and displayed.
