Brain Wave Chick Performance Image
"That Brain Wave Chick", an original brain wave music composition produced by Paras Kaul and Mark Applebaum, was first performed for a Sonic Circuits Festival at Mississippi State University in 1998.

Brain Wave Art

I use a brain wave interface to the computer to input neural data to the computer. This data is transformed by fast fourier analysis, which converts the neural data to frequency and velocity values on a timeline. These values are used to control the sequencing of animation. The neural data can also be converted to midi notes which are input to midi sound modules to create an audio mixer that produces brain wave music.

The interface used for this brain wave multimedia work is IBVA, Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer System. After her first brain wave music performance, Paras began to be referred to as "That Brain Wave Chick". Since the first performance at Mississippi State University, Paras has performed at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the LA Convention Center for the SIGGRAPH Art Show in 2000, the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, the Corcoran Art Gallery, the Warehouse Nextdoor, the University of Maryland, and George Mason University's Concert Hall.
