Brain on Dance
Brain on Dance is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the fields of Architecture, Neuroscience, and Dance. This interactive performance uses a dancer’s brain activity to create a real-time emotionally responsive environment.
The dancer, Prof. Becky Valls, performs a piece entitled “Red Square” while connected to a 64 electrode EEG (electroencephalograph) skullcap that collects and transmits her brainwaves to a computer located in the theatre. The researchers have developed a series of algorithms that translate this information into commands that control the hue and saturation of the stage lighting providing a real-time interactive environment based on the dancer’s emotive and physical states. The software developed for this research forms a closed –loop system that allows the audience, performer, and environment to all become participants in this collaboration. This event was part of the Blaffer Art Museum's Innovation Series, an ambitious slate of lectures, gallery talks and panel discussions, enhancing the exhibition's role as a catalyst for cross-disciplinary learning.
