Psychic Armchair TV is an installation by Carrie Gates wherein EEG brainwave signals are used as biofeedback controllers for a video mixer and audio system built in Max/MSP/Jitter. The participant is seated on a comfortable seat in an intimate environment, facing a large television set. They are fitted with an EEG sensor headband that reads their changing brainwaves and sends that data over a wireless Bluetooth connection to a hidden laptop computer controlling parameters of the video playback. When the participants brainwaves change, the video and audio change in realtime, creating a biofeedback loop – sounds and images effect the participant and inform each next moment/phase/instance of the materials. more info
