Pleasure Love Delight (edit)

Scott Makeig, SCCN colleagues, and I developed an experiment in which we played five just-tuned musical intervals to a single listener and asked him to describe in a few words the personality, character, and feelings of the intervals. We recorded his EEG (brain waves) while he listened to the intervals. Then, we switched the experiment around to create a musical performance called the “Brain Concerto.” In front of an audience, we read aloud to our “brain performer” one of his short musical descriptions, and asked him to imagine the person these words would describe.  We then used a brain-computer interface program developed at our lab to measure his EEG on stage and identify which musical character he was imagining, by comparing with the recordings we had made in the lab. We were able to correctly identify, using just the real-time EEG recordings, which character he was imagining, for all five of the original musical intervals used in the experiment.

8 "Triumphant, glorious ..." (2/1)

7- "Hopeful longing ..." (15/8)

6b+ "Anxious, aroused, excited ..." (8/5)

4# "Annoyed, irritated, frustrated ..." (45/32)

3- "Introverted, shy, uncertain ..." (5/4)

This live performance is a snapshot of a mind-body improvisation practice where I play flute with my sonified physiological signals.
