This application can algorithmically convert brain waves into
real-time art. For this purpose, algorithms in the field of
signal processing were developed for a commercial
electroencephalogram to process the raw data, obtain the
frequency bands (alpha, beta, theta, etc.) as well as the origin
of the brainwaves in real-time, and then transform them into
dynamically generated art.
This project is intended to represent an antipode of the
reductionist neurosciences, by using their tools not to degrade
subjective aesthetic experiences to their mere brain processes,
but rather, to emerge aesthetic experiences from their brain
processes in a complex reciprocal interaction of feedback loops.
After a period of training, most of the test subjects were able
to dynamically change the art with their thoughts. A total of
six different algorithmic interpretations were developed, which
differ in the interpretation of the brain waves.
