[Yasmin_discussions] music and the mind

yasminers

this fits into our discussion on cognitive innovation !

http://www.mainlymozart.org/series/mozart-the-mind/

Mozart and the Mind annually brings together internationally leading
figures in the sciences, medicine, and the arts to communicate
contemporary research and insights exploring the impact of music on
our brain, health, and lives. Topics include the role of music in
therapy and rehabilitation; musical training's role in improving brain
function; what brain structures underlie rhythm and music perception;
how advances in cognitive neuroscience and neurotechnology can open
new possibilities for musical expression and performance; and much
more.

The series uniquely interweaves informative and entertaining
presentations with innovative installations and live performances. In
a single evening you can stimulate your mind with scientific insights
into music's role in the brain, then follow your curiosity and
explore interactive neurotechnology installations or live center-stage
performances in the free Music & the Brain Exposition, and finally
settle back and feed your soul with world-class Spotlight Series
performance of some of the greatest chamber music ever composed.

It's what happens when Mozart meets the Mind!

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] cognitive innovation in plymouth

Some work from my PhD thesis uses augmented reality goggles to perform
what I've called audiovisual scene synthesis, a generative collage
process built using a model of human perception. Participants wear
headphones and goggles which attempt to learn both the auditory and
visual scene, presenting its "interpretation" as a generative collage
through the microphone and goggles:

Dear Roger and yasmin subscribers,

Here's a very recent reference related to this; "The Machine to Be
Another'", originally developed by our student Philippe Bertrand as a Final
Project in our University Master in Digital Arts at Universitat Pompeu
Fabra, Barcelona.

"The Machine to Be Another' is an embodiment system designed to address the
relation between identity and empathy. The project merges performances with
protocols of neuroscience experiments, in order to offer users an immersive
experience of seeing themselves in the body of another person. The paper
reports the methods and partial results of the interdisciplinary
qualitative investigation that are leading us to create a low budget
approach to stimulate empathy through embodied interaction between
individuals."

"The Machine to Be Another'" was presented as a Work in Progress at the 8th
International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction
(Munich, February 2014) and their Gender Swap experiment has recently got a
lot of attention (as you can see on the links below):

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-01/22/gender-swap-oculus-rift
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/22/oculus-rift-gender-swap-virtual-reality_n_4645310.html

there are two articles that address the neuroscience and arts

the first on neuroscience and art history

Wave of the Future? Reconsidering The Neuroscientific Turn in Art History

Abstract

This essay examines the much-contested "neuroscientific turn" in art
history, taking the cues of the best of the turn while rejecting its
false starts. The author suggests that the most promising
transdisciplinary encounters spanning the brain sciences and the
humanities begin from the premise that human experience is embodied,
but the "body" itself is interwoven across biological, ecological,
phenomenological, social, and cultural planes. The author proposes
that certain media artworks critically engaged with neuroscience
productively model such an approach. Taking Mariko Mori's brainwave
interface and multimedia installationWave UFO (1999-2002) as a case
study, the author explores how works of art may complicate and augment
brain science research as well as its dissemination into other social
and cultural arenas.

Abstract

The simulation of visual hallucinations has multiple applications. The
authors present a new approach to hallucination simulation, developed
initially for a performance but which proved to have uses to sufferers
of certain types of hallucinations. The system allows real-time visual
expression, using iPad augmented reality. The system was developed
focusing on the visual symptoms of Palinopsia, experienced by the
first author. It also allows the hallucinations to be converted into
sound through visual sonification. Although no formal experimentation
was conducted, the authors report on a number of unsolicited informal
responses to the simulator from palinopsia sufferers and a charity.
