Today was very productive and we had an excellent lecture from our guest visitor - Luiciana Haill, below is a link to her myspace page and IBVA homepage:

Luciana Haill is Neuro Feedback Artist (measuring brain activity) and after getting a background degree in Fine Art, she has experimented in using medical equipment to produce art
How does she measure brain activity?
Mainly via an IBVA machine and the mind force software she designed(see image right), consisting of two channels which record the left and right side of the brain. She has used this for approximately 14 Years and has watched the development from radio wave IBVA's (prone to interference from other electronical devices) to blue tooth IBVA's (less interference, better quality).
With the use of IBVA, Luciana proposed that this cut off approximately a year of her product research due to this technology, emphasizing the importance of this device.
Here are some pointers on this product:
I have emailed Luciana asking for some more feedback in relation to this interactive design brief.
She also gave us some extremely inspirational links to various artists and designers she has been inspired by or encountered, these are:
1) Mariko Mori - Links below
New York / Japanese Artist who used tranquil photography and manipulation. Famous for her UFO piece (see right for image).
2) Anna Dimitriu - Bio Tracking
3) Neurosky
All these can be seen in more detail in my sketchbook...

Here are some pointers on this product:
- IBVA monitors brain waves
- Mind force software portrays visuals in relation to brain waves (3D and 2D Visuals)
- Measures brain waves in microvolts
- Muscle movements are inevitable but it is generally clear when a movement is made.
- You could even record dreams, thoughts.
- Your brain waves could be uploaded to a server (online) which can be picked up by anyone else in the world with internet.
- COMMUNICATING BRAIN WAVES - Maybe connecting something like an arduino board to the computer receiving the signals which could control other external things e.g. LED's in a room etc.
- The IBVA has been tested on plants and leaves to record biometric data e.g. Yuka plant used to record events in the stock exchange!
- Using an IBVA in a Live DJ/Music setup - brain waves affected by various music (tempo's etc.)
- Similar to the idea above but instead connect the IBVA to everyone in the crowd (in time IBVA's will be smaller) who's reactions to music trigger images on a projection in a rave, club, bar etc.
- Sport & Fitness - Connecting an IBVA to a person working out or exercising. How does brain waves change throughout workout, also how can this enhance your workout!? Visuals maybe triggered when your brain realises you are exercising, enhancing the workout experience.

- Brain waves and Sega!?
