Reminds me of a show I saw at the SOH a good 3 (or 4...) years ago...called listening to the mind listening. However, in that case, they had a subject listen to a particular piece of music, and then recorded the brain waves (I don't know any more regarding the technicalities....) It was then up to a number of different composers to decide how they wanted to use the data from the brain scans... the results varied from wild free jazz interpretations of the "squiggly line" of data, to direct math based compositions of electronic music, to multi-channel (16 channels distinct???) electronic blips and blaps, drones and atmospheres derived from filtering the data in different ways. Was a really interesting show... Hm. Reminds me of a show I saw at the SOH a good 3 (or 4…) years ago…called listening to the mind listening.
