What is
neuro-art.
Neuro-art is art born from the activity of the brain: a measured signal, such as an EEG, becomes shapes, colours and movement. It brings together neuroscience and artistic creation.
Common questions
How is it different from traditional art?
The starting point is not the gesture of a hand but the signal of a mind. The person living the experience does not need to know how to draw: the artwork is born from how their brain responds in that moment.
What is an EEG?
Electroencephalography measures the brain’s electrical activity from the surface of the head. It is non-invasive: wearable readers use a few sensors that rest on the forehead and behind the ears.
Does neuro-art read thoughts?
No. An EEG measures the brain’s electrical activity, not the content of thoughts. Neuro-art is an artistic experience: it is not a medical test and it does not diagnose anything.
Do you need to be an artist to try it?
No. You just wear the reader and let yourself be guided for a few minutes: no preparation is needed.
