Brainwaves reacting with images

Brainwaves, which is also known as EEG, gives you the information of relaxation or stress.

I went to eyebeam open studio and saw this artist Scott Kildall using brainwaves as to capture what people feel from images from mass media. I also participated in the survey and it was quite fun and amazing to see the results. They(the surveyors who are watching at my brainwave) actually knew of how I feel towards the image, even before I realize or feel how I feel. I think I did not feel, but unconsciously feeling something, and they captured it precisely. I was very happy to see a guy's masculine naked body, and also a cute puppy. I was stressed to see a gun, a patient in a hospital, and a wedding cake.


I was thinking of doing my thesis project, using people's emotion, and Oguz gave me an idea to put some objects to trigger people's emotion, and actually I think was a fresh idea, and this project also makes me a broader view.
