Brainwave Project to Help Patients with Disorders of Consciousness

POSTCITY, Campus

This project is a functional artwork aiming at “art healing”. In this project, I hope to provide an approach to help people who are in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and have partial preservation of conscious awareness by using wearable devices to detect real-time brain waves and generate images to help doctors and families understand the different brain responses to different audiovisual inputs.
