Music therapy, synch, and biorhythms



At YouTube:
Equipped with both the skills of a computer engineer and the artistry of an accomplished musician, Grace Leslie has developed a technique to use her own brain and body as a musical instrument. Grace's heart beats, neuroelectric activity, and other biofeedback are collected from interface on her body and fed into computer which then converts them into flowing waves of sounds. Just like a musician might tune a guitar or a piano, Grace must carefully adjust her emotional and physical state to create the right tones during these performances. In turn, these sonic experiences and the lessons they've taught Grace are part of growing body of research conducted her lab at Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology. There, she and a team of researchers explore the ways that biorhythms can be translated into music or vice versa , how music can create physiological effects in listeners. Ultimately, Grace and her students aim to.create new forms of music or sounds that can act as sonic therapies for listeners.
