VART3491 - Advanced Studio Technologies :: NeuralOSC

NeuralOSC is prototype interface for the sonification of live brainwave data that uses Neural Feedback to entrain both focus and relaxation in a gestural musical environment. The user is coaxed to engage with musical stimuli generated from their own neural oscillations in real time from a single dry electrode interface that communicates wirelessly via bluetooth into MaxMSP. The user's focus is entrained through the articulation of filter movements, pitch and timbral modulations, while a state of relaxation is used to lower the amplitude and tonal quality of other elements. NeuralOSC is an immediate and engaging way to explore neurofeedback and an interesting environment to play music!
