It is of course a representation of the activation sequence in one
(special) heart. We recorded 98 leads from the outside and simultaneous
with a 64 channel balloon in the left ventricle and 32 electrodes in the
right. Lines are isochrones (points with identical time) 10 ms apart.
The problem was trying to put all information in one figure. This
is what I came up with. The knot is a bit of artistic license.
Mainly to prove to myself that I could do it. Pathetic isn't it?

Ah, of course. That's very interesting.

No, I thought the knot was quite a nice piece of fun.
