This audiovisual performance maps brain activity in real-time using light and sound. As you enter the room, you step into a spatialized representation of someone’s mental state.
The arrangement of lights and speakers directly corresponds to the standard EEG electrode map. Each light-speaker pair is connected to a specific electrode position on the scalp, creating a physical map of the brain’s surface. Signals are also displayed visually, organized from front to back according to their anatomical origin.
In addition, Basile (performer/controller) actively shapes the soundscape by influencing chord progressions, synth wavetable dynamics, and phaser settings merging live musical interpretation with neural data. Federico integrates live coding and light performance into the EEG data stream, extending the interplay between human agency and brain activity.
