Chronotopia Detail | Christopher Salter | 2009

Surfing through Linux Audio Conference LAC 2010 schedule, I just found this really interesting paper by Marije Baalman, Christopher Salter, Harry Smoak, Vincent De Belleval, Brett Bergmann, Joseph Malloch, Joseph Thibodeau, Marcelo M. Wanderley from Montreal, Canada.
The paper is titled Sense/Stage – low cost, open source wireless sensor and data sharing infrastructure for live performance and interactive realtime environments .

If you’re interested in real-time interactive environments for live performance you should definitely read the paper and watch on-line the video of the presentation.
Good work!

EmotivEPOC brain to MIDI

EmotivEPOC is an helmet created by Emotiv, the helmet uses a set of sensors and a gyroscope to capture the cerebral waves of human brain and translates it in MIDI signal. With its wireless connection it can communicate with your computer allowing you interaction with the machine.

This is not the only one interface who exploits cerebral waves. The NIA by OCZ is another peripheral which allows you a new kind of interactivity with the machines.
LeCollagiste will make a test for the end of August using this peripheral with a VJing Software.

If this technology is now available for the masses, i’m really scared to think about which kind of neural-technology can be owned by worldwide military forces.
