Brain Portraits

Using a commercially available, low-fidelity electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, Muse, I captured the electrical activity of my brain while performing different tasks.

EEG-driven audiovisual work

Using a commercially available, low-fidelity electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, Muse, I captured the electrical activity of my brain while performing different tasks. The resulting video, Brain Portraits, showcases several of these dynamic, abstract, snapshots of my brain working.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. It measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons.
