Work Overview

What are You Really Thinking? is a sonification of brainwave data which was posted as a challenge to artists and scientists in connection with the 2004 International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD), held in Sydney in July 2004. The constraints were that the data had to be mapped in a systematic way into sound, and that the data had to be used at the rate of one second per second (no speeding up, slowing down, or re-ordering). There were 26 channels of brainwave data from 26 electrodes placed on the subject's scalp, and an additional 10 channels of data recording heartbeat, respiration, eye muscle movement, etc. The subject was listening to David Page's Dry Mud (part of the soundtrack for the Bangarra Dance Company work Fish), however the identity of the piece was kept secret from the composers involved in ICAD.
