"A walk toward the world of BIG DATA"

The way to big data is marked by the ISR experiments at CERN, and I lived this turbulent epoch during coffee breaks. The data flood and transmission problems were addressed and slowly solved with local computing becoming usual at the time LEP started. Even at this point, there is a dichotomy between the study of numbers and the study of pictures (bubble chamber),, i.e., between statistics and images. 

Next jump to the detailed study correlation of financial stock-exchange data, which started at the end of the last century. In our first paper, published in 2012, we discuss the new concept of discrete states of a financial market. This implies further statistical analysis but also permits images, which may guide interpretation. 

For the future, we plan to expand the ideas to analysis of the brain by EEG and fMRI, as well as representations by adequate attractors of low dimension.
