"Listen to the Mind Listening"

EEG data from the listening brain transformed into sound and music in a 16-channel 3D sound system

 

"The sonification of data in this piece is not consciously shaped

by any guiding metaphor, but has developed through tinkering

with and tweaking various synthesis methods while listening

for coherences and differences in the sound field.

I divided the data channels into two main groups, with the

1020 head signals in one and the remaining channels in the

other.

This follows a pattern I noticed in a spectral analysis of the

data in which the 1020 head signals all showed similar strong

harmonic content, while the rest of the channels had no overall

common characteristic. I processed the 1020 signals (ch. 1-26)

in a uniform way, and took an ad-hoc approach with the rest

(ch. 27-36), re-combining different channels of data in various

syntheses. I hoped the redundancy would enhance a perception

of structure through several different relations in the overall

sound."
