There was a small company at NAMM a few years ago demoing a brainwave-to-midi convertor. I think they also had sensors to input heart rate, body temperature, skin conductivity, and maybe blood pressure too. It looked like it might be fun, but rather difficult to create music with. Shockingly, they failed to take the industry by storm..... kim At 08:24 PM 11/21/97 -0500, Bailey, Jim wrote: > > >>Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 03:24:22 +0100 >>From: 7302 <7302@ssj.dtu.dk> > >>Do you know about "Brainwave Synchronization" ???? > >About 20+ years ago one of the geek mags (either Popular or Radio >Electronics) had instructions on how to build an Alpha-wave pickup which >used a headband and some sort of electronics to pick up certain brainwave >activities.
