Artistic BCI

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is rapidly transitioning to STEAM, which integrates art, design, and science. This approach promotes creativity in traditional engineering fields. Our work explores approaches toward creating artistic BCI applications. We recently developed NeuroBrush, a multi-modal, web-based application that allows users to paint abstract art competitively. The EEG-based painting application features a brush that dynamically changes in size and color in response to a user’s cognitive state. The goal of this research is to expand on prior artistic BCI work by integrating gamification, art, multiparty, and multimodal BCI. This project aims to explore how combining these approaches could influence BCI-based self-regulation training.
