DXARTS & Swedish Neuroscience Institute: Music of Today: Performing with the Brain

Patients suffering from motor disability improvise with professional musicians in this performance led by composers Juan Pampin and Richard Karpen and neuroscientist Thomas Deuel. In a research project hosted at the University of Washington DXARTS' Art + Brain lab in collaboration with Swedish Neuroscience Institute, the patients learned to perform the Encephalophone, a novel Brain Computer Music Interface allowing the creation of music without movement.

This event is made possible with funding from a Creativity Connects grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
