Masters program in Computer Science

This semester I'm taking 4 courses at the University of Minnesota: Advanced Algorithms & Data Structures, Introduction to Computer Security, Data Visualization and Artificial Intelligence I.

The cross-pollenation from Data Visualization and Intro to Computer Security is potentially very interesting. We're studying channel capacity for various human perceptions. There are many references to different aspects of neuroscience, but I'm interested in the channel capacity concept as it pertains to perceptions of trust.

I wonder what the human univariate channel capacity is for judgments of trust?

I think that notions of "integrated assessments" as we view these puzzles and illusions are thought provoking to say the least.
