It's what we call binary information.

It's how they store information.

I'm a cybersecurity researcher, which means my job is to sit down with this information and try to make sense of it, to try to understand what all the ones and zeroes mean.

Now, as exciting as that sounds, when I first started doing cyber — (Laughter) — when I first started doing cyber, I wasn't sure that sifting through ones and zeros was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, because in my mind, cyber was keeping viruses off of my grandma's computer, it was keeping people's Myspace pages from being hacked, and maybe, maybe on my most glorious day, it was keeping someone's credit card information from being stolen.

Binary information makes your phone work, and used correctly, it can make your phone explode.

So when you start to look at cyber from this perspective, spending your life sifting through binary information starts to seem kind of exciting.

Pretty much no matter what I do, my job always starts with sitting down with a whole bunch of binary information, and I'm always looking for one key piece to do something specific.

When I have to do that, what I have to do is basically look at various pieces of this binary information, try to decipher each piece, and see if it might be what I'm after.

Well I thought, when you're looking at information at this level, it's so easy to lose track of what you're doing.

It's not how people think, but we've been trying to adapt our minds to think more like computers so that we can understand this information.

Instead of trying to make our minds fit the problem, we should have been making the problem fit our minds, because our brains have a tremendous potential for analyzing huge amounts of information, just not like this.

So what if we could unlock that potential just by translating this to the right kind of information?

We have a tremendous capability to analyze visual information.

So I started looking at the binary information, and I asked myself, what do I do when I first encounter something like this?

And the way I can figure that out is by looking at chunks, sequential chunks of binary information, and I look at the relationships between those chunks.

When I gather up enough of these sequences, I begin to get an idea of exactly what this information must be.

All of a sudden, it shows us all the same information that was in the ones and zeros, but show us it in an entirely different way, a way that we can immediately comprehend.

We can go through every little detail of the binary information in seconds, as opposed to weeks, months, at this level.

One of those most remarkable parts about all of this is it gives us an entirely new way to understand new information, stuff that we haven't seen before.

We've only begun to unlock the capabilities of our minds to process visual information.

If we take those same concepts and translate them into three dimensions instead, we find entirely new ways of making sense of information.

Things that would take us weeks, months to find in ones and zeroes, are immediately apparent in some sort of visual abstraction, and as we continue to go through this and throw more and more information at it, what we find is that we're capable of processing billions of ones and zeros in a matter of seconds just by using our brain's built-in ability to analyze patterns.

So the next step in my binary analysis process is to look at pieces of information that are similar to each other.

For this, I need to identify very subtle, very detailed relationships within that binary information, another very hard thing to do when looking at ones and zeros.

But if we translate that information into a physical representation, we can sit back and let our visual cortex do all the hard work.

So I was playing around with these same concepts with some of the data I've looked at in the past, and yet again, I was trying to find a very detailed, specific piece of code inside of a massive piece of binary information.

Now that I know it's a photograph, I've got dozens of other binary translation techniques to visualize and understand that information, so in a matter of seconds, we can take this information, shove it through a dozen other visual translation techniques in order to find out exactly what we were looking at.

We built the app specifically with the needs of the scrap dealers in mind first, because we realized that it was not enough to arm them with information and upgraded technology if we wanted them to green their recycling processes; they needed incentives.

And so to combat this, we don't just try harder, but rather what we do is we set up situations where these other sources of information can't bias us, which is why many orchestras audition musicians behind screens, so the only information they have is the information they believe should matter.

Now, when you're working on products like this, you have incredible amounts of information about how people are using your product that you can then use to influence your design decisions, but it's not just as simple as following the numbers.
