We listen to the mind,
not to thoughts.
A non-invasive EEG reader detects brain activity; our software translates it into parameters, and the parameters into an artwork.
Almost invisible to wear
The reader rests on the forehead and behind the ears and passively acquires the brain’s electrical activity throughout the session, without emitting any impulses and without interfering with brain activity.
Bands, rhythms, parameters
The signals are analysed in their frequency bands. From their variations we derive parameters such as focus, calm, energy, complexity and symmetry.
- Delta1–4 Hz
- Theta4–8 Hz
- Alpha8–13 Hz
- Beta13–30 Hz
- Gamma30–45 Hz
Three steps
- 01
Acquisition
The reader records brain activity in real time, for the whole session.
- 02
Analysis
The software derives the parameters and how they change over time.
- 03
Generation
The parameters guide shapes, colours and composition: the artwork takes shape and never repeats.
Art, not diagnosis
The data are not used to interpret specific thoughts, memories or emotions and provide no medical or diagnostic assessment: they are the trace of brain activity in that precise moment.
We don’t read what you think: we detect how your brain activity changes and turn that data into creative material.
