Anyway to make the bars thicker or more distinct? It does indeed look like a crazy brain readout! This is really interesting. Anyway to make the bars thicker or more distinct?

It would have probably been more meaningful to create a bar or pie chart showing, for example, the frequency of different letters as the first letter of your words. But this could be thought of as a readout of your brain almost. I say almost because I have no device in place to capture your keystrokes synchronously so I could put it to an appropriate time scale, but if your brain needs to access the same memory banks in order to make your fingers hit the right key to spell out words, then each line shows your brain activity for [the keystroke movements of] one story alongside your brain activity for [the keystroke movements of] another. I can't wait to play with the other types of charts to analyze your writing. Well, it’s a lousy visual, I’ll give you that.
