Outline of Final Research Achievements

3 to 5 participants have subjected themselves to electroencephalogram (EEG): a noninvasive test that records electrical patterns of the brain. The extracted data was later on transformed into artistic expressions ― sound and visual images. The participants were again invited to be analyzed after being exposed to such expressions. It became evident that brainwaves and expressions do affect one another. An installation in which this experiment result can be recognized was created in a form of a feedback loop. In the next phase, the team hopes to publicly analyze more than 10 participants’ EEG, using an easily wearable EEG measurement tool.
