Colomusic is color+music. That means the music feeling by colors. There are the colors that correspond to each sound on the musical scale, and we applied it to some famous music works like 'little star'. That is a Colomusic, and we can feel the music through our eyes. This can be a new way to feel music for deaf people. And the background of Colomusic is color psychology.

The entry explores those unique aspects of human thinking. The first
tab looks at some of the landmark thinking model developers by era,
which we call "thinking history." Secondly, we examine some of the
physical aspects with a dynamic model of the brains control area
in a two-frame JavaScript popup window. This section examines
learning theories and language as a cognitive skill set. Thirdly,
we examine classical reasoning processes: syllogisms, classification,
and illustrate the rules of proper thinking with stuffed animal
examples. Fourthly, we move into scientific method and some
simple statistical theory. After all this theory, we cover
modern symbolism with illustrated truth tables. The most extensive
coverage, both theory and illustration, is of argument formation
theory. We take an intermissin with a bivalue logic game page
and then finish off with logic and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is
a very difficult concept to present. We have tried to simplify
the theory by illustrating that this type of logic model tries
to accomodate the fact that objects change over time. Thus, the
static theories of Aristotle's "pure" logical model where every
object can be put into its set or class, breaks down through
morphology. Section 9 deals more with the details of the
educational objectives (see below).

Our entry has been created with the main objective of giving people a greater awareness of the vast field of human behavior. We hope we have created a useful tool with which people can learn more about themselves and also the behavior of everyone in their environment and in this world. The content has been divided into five different parts each containing about four different headings under them. The five chapters are: Psychology of Behavior, Biological Base of Behavior, Daily Behavior, Behavioral Disorders, and Cognitive Processes. In our web-site, we have tried to create a valuable collection of information to aid people researching the subject in successfully finding needed information. The site combines this information with interactive activities that can help users to gain a more extensive understanding of the subject by working with it themselves. There is an interactive trip, expressions games, movies, and more for users to explore. All of this is accessible with an easy to understand layout a well-organized table of contents. Users are encouraged to add their own input to the site through use of the database. The site focuses on the userhis/her research and learning needs, visual responses, and desire for interaction.

The main educational objective of this web page is to help children cope with divorce. We felt that students who are experiencing a divorce may not understand some of the events that may take place in their lives. We have learned through our support group that sharing information with those who have lived through a divorce can be very helpful. We think that the web page can be useful in helping teachers to understand the warning signs of a child experiencing coping problems during a divorce. The web page will also help parents to understand what a child is feeling and how they can help a child at home.
