From their website: Brainloop is an interactive performance platform that utilizes a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system which allows a subject to operate devices merely by imagining specific motor commands. These mentally visualized commands may be seen as the rehearsal of a motor act without the overt motor output; a neural synapse occurs but the actual movement is blocked at the corticospinal level. Motor imagery such as "move left hand", "move right hand" or "move feet" become non-muscular communication and control signals that convey messages and commands to the external world. In Brainloop the performer is able - without physically moving - to investigate urban areas and rural landscapes as he globe-trots around virtual Google Earth. Through motor imagery, he selects locations, camera angles and positions and records these image sequences in a virtual world. In the second half of the performance, he plays back the sequence and uses Brainloop to compose a custom soundtrack by selecting, manipulating and re-locating audio recordings in real time into the physical space. This work results from a multi-year collaboration between Slovenian media artists and Austrian scientists. Its author is the Slovenian media artist Janez Janša. Responsible for the BCI application is Reinhold Scherer from the BCI-Lab of the TUG. 
Brainscore – Incorporeal communication www.brainscore.org Brainscore is a performance for two operators, which act in a virtual reality environment through their avatars. It is the first of its kind to attempt to completely avoid physical participation of operators in the management of avatars. The task is achieved by triggering command on a console through a system based on operator's brain waves signals (neurofeedback technology) and an eye movement tracking system. The aim of the performance is to create a controlled flow of information in terms of audio-visual messages in order to establish communication with the audience. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=brainloop http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=brainloop SEE ALSO: Sony Brings Real Life Matrix A Step Closer Perceptive Pixel: |
