| Research Abstract |
This explorative pilot study investigates the process of improvisational dance by combining the methods of Brain Science and Cognitive Science. We compare the brain activity of contemporary dancers in several conditions using EEG recordings. A pilot study comparing a dancer’s brain activity when watching her own solo dance movements with those when watching her duo dance movements with another dancer suggests that there are differences in EEG patterns between these two conditions. Specifically, in the case of watching duo dance movements, the brain activity shows more complex interactions between various areas of the brain. This result indicates the possibility that such a complex dance improvisation process can be captured by brain measurements like EEG. Based on this pilot study, we are currently conducting furtherexperiments.
