Brainwaves/EEG based performance or recordings

[Jason Patton <jason.patton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I'm writing a thesis entitled 'psychotropic orientations in electroacoustic 
composition.' I am looking at the ways sound artists have used EEG 
technology and/or ideas about brainwave entrainment/biofeedback in 
performance and recording.

In my research so far, I have looked at the 'academic' lineage of such 
artists (eg. David Rosenboom, SensorBand). I have also been put on to a 
whole range of 'New Age' artists and companies producing CDs for 
stress-relief and quasi-medical therapy applications.

Does anyone here know of artists in more 'experimental' areas using 
biometric equipment/output information or biofeedback principles to compose 
or perform?

cheers,
jason
