Data interpretation for art projects
Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2021 3:47 pm
Hi everyone, I have a very general question. I just bought a MUSE2 device and I'm looking for fun suggestions of things to do for an audio art projet with with the help of Mindmonitor.
Basically I'm looking for various ways to goof around with the data of a MUSE2 device through MindMonitor. The data Interpretation I'm looking for doesn't have to be scientifically rigorous or accurate, it just have to be somewhat meaningful so that I can use the data as some sort of controller, or instrument, to somehow generate sound. I can think already of a few easy ways to use the Gyro and accelerometer data as a head mouvement detector (thinks like the faster the head is moving the faster a sound recording is played, nothing complicated). But the brain wave data is way more obscure, so that's what I'm really interested in exploring. I was wondering if people would like to share any idea, links, thoughts or some theoretical background? I came accros this conversation here viewtopic.php?t=198 which contains the kind of ideas I'm looking for : someone is suggesting to use alpha waves to very roughly measure relaxation level. I find this very interesting and I can think of a couple of ways to use that.
It's a very general question I know, I'm really just curious to have some ideas on where to start do to simple fun stuff with the device, if anyone is interested in sharing your knowledge. I use OSC to get the data to my computer and I use PureData to do the programming.
