He mentioned some work he's done with communities and groups to <a href="http://www.emotionmap.net/">map emotional responses to areas</a>.  This photo is part of the <a href="http://www.sf.biomapping.net/map.htm">San Francisco emotion map</a>.  Participants are given handheld machines which monitor sweat levels (similar mechanism to lie detectors) to determine the emotional state of the person who additionally annotates their thoughts.<p />An interesting first talk, and some beautiful maps amongst his slides:<br /><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>
