“…Therefore, our work is related to previous work on algorithmic art, such as Traveling Salesman Problem art [Bosch and Herman 2004;Kaplan and Bosch 2005]. That approach also produces aesthetically appealing diagrams but not for hierarchical structures as in our work.…”
Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD).
Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD.
The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC).
Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Instead of using the contour information of supplied images to form mazes, Bosch & Herman [14] segmented the supplied image into K by K cells firstly. Then, randomly generated points for each cell (the number of points was proportional to the mean of gray levels in the cell), and applied the algorithm of solving traveling salesman problems (TSP) to find a path connecting these points.…”

“…TSP (Traveler Salesman Problem) Art was invented by Bosch and Herman [Bosch and Herman 2004] and greatly improved by Kaplan and Bosch [Kaplan and Bosch 2005] [Bosch 2011]. It works by solving the traveling salesman problem for a dithered or otherwise stippled image, treating black pixels/stipple points as cities to be visited.…”
