The EEGsynth
With: Jean-Louis Huhta, Stephen Whitmarsh and Per Hüttner August 19 Jean-Louis and Stephen arrive at midnight. Nocturnal swim and discussions about the individual work carried out in preparation for the workshop and what is expected of the days to come and how we can best reach these goals. August 20 Breakfast meeting and planning of […]
During our work meeting in Athens, we explored and tested the EEG-synth: EEG recordings controlling analogue synthesizers. What follows is a summary of how we solved the main technical and practical issues we encountered and those that still need to be dealt with. More about the output of the meeting will come in the next […]
In France we tried to reproduce neuronal functions with the synthesiser and listened to the outcome. This was great fun and Stephen is a really talented supervisor. Since my thesis is on hemispheric specialization I choose one theory which tries to explain differences in hemispheric processing by splitting incomming signals into relative frequency bands. I […]
Did we mention already that we have been awarded a grant from Innovativ Kultur?
This week I co-organized a research retreat at a beautiful French chateau, for Christian Kell’s wonderful group (department of neurology of the Frankfurt University hospital). During the Saturday-night workshop I presented our project and explained and demonstrated some principles of sounds synthesis. We then set to work to create synthesizer patches that simulated neuronal mechanisms of cognitive processes. […]
This week, thanks to Robert’s work on the openbci to fieldtrip-buffer (see previous post), I was able to record the first EEG using the OpenBCI system during a research retreat in France, with Christian Kell’s wonderful group (brainclocks.com). It took some time to figure out the pin setup on the board, but we finally ended […]
