Using a version of this measure, we have built a new brain computer interface which harnesses the "natural" brain activity of musicians to mold and modulate music as it is being composed and played. This computer music instrument is part of a system, the Mind Attention Interface, which provides an interface to a virtual reality theatre using measures of a participant's EEG, eye-gaze and head position. The theatre itself, and its spatialised sound system, closes a feedback loop through the mind of the participant.Keywords: Brain; Computer music; Electroencephalography; Flow interactions; Human computer interaction; Interactive computer systems; Virtual reality; Brain activities; Brain computer interface; Brain-computer interfaces; EEG; Eye gazes; Feedback loops; functional Brain computer interface; Computer music; EEG; functional connectivityMind-Modulated Music in the Mind Attention Interface20072016-02-24
