Most of the paper is about media composition, neuron connection inducing, manipulation of neuron to promote binding to wires. There's some talk about neuron and neuron surrogate architectures for creating chemical artificial intelligence. However, the last figure and some of the issues they ran into seem relevant. The last sentence goes on to describing several methods they tried for removing/reducing the oscillations (Changing the power source to DC, adding a faraday cage around the biochip, reducing ions in the media). All method showed minimal improvement at best.

Also I've been thinking of the weird noise. What if it is just a spiral modulation on the frequency (Or oscillations that can't be removed) creating the nauseating effect and the weird, synthesized speech sounds.

I went looking at our cabinet, here is a quick scan of the first page and the pivotal figure. Tomorrow I might have more time to go over it again and summarise it. 

It looks like a field floating in an empty space. I have this pull to the other end of it. I can feel my leg muscles trying to bring me closer. Kind of like phantom walking towards the black text.

I'm at the field of wetware. There's a mythical paper that pretty much every modern lab has saved. It's quite cryptic and ahead of its time. It was published late 70's under a pseudonym. No one knows what happened with the people that must have worked on it. I wonder if they were acquired by Stern and were part of this speech synthesiser.
All the references in the paper lead to other papers under pseudonyms, I wonder if they all worked under the Stern R&D.

I want to preface this that I'm not an arcade historian or even a big pinball fan. However, this post made me remember something I read a few years ago. On one of my rabbit-hole diving I arrived on Stern's website and read about their machines. I vaguely remembered reading about machines inspired by Mangas. 

With this post I went to the Stren wikipedia - found no mentions of those. and to the stern website. Specifically, on the japan importer page. This is an announcement about giving exclusive importing rights to hot toys Japan. This is from 2018, which fits the time of the original rabbit hole. (Still significantly later than the original sighting) Again in this page I saw no mentions of any manga related machines. I went to wayback machine. The first entry was in September 2019 - a whole year and a half after the date of the article. This feels like something was somehow removed and changed without any documentation. 

I am left with 2 questions. 

1) Is there a way to check the original article? I'm not too computer savvy. 

2) Who was the Japan importer before hot toys? This might give some leads if we find who might be the contact between junji ito and stern

This is wonderful, sadly I don't think I could play the chef form my friends, as they regard me too highly as a cook. But I'll watch out if I find an opportunity for it

That looks amazing, will definitely try to play it soon
