Brainwave Experience

Brainwave Experience is an innovative exhibition where creator Isaac Rayment recorded the brainwaves of notable visionaries, artists, thought leaders, performers and creators and converted the data into a beautiful immersive video sculptural experience.

We celebrated its world debut at the Art Gallery of Ontario — Canada's largest gallery — on September 26, 2024.

Creating Brainwave Experience

Brainwave Experience is available for you to experience

Gallery / Events

Brainwave Experience is available to book for your gallery.

It is a modular program that we can customise and scale to fit your space, for either short installations or longer showcases.

Interactive

A fascinating option to elevate events or venues: a live Brainwave Experience interactive setup for your guests.

Guests put on a headset and, in real time, their brainwaves are converted into animated art. The experience is customisable to showcase your brand or event.

Mind Portrait

Creator Isaac Rayment will record your brainwaves and create a custom Brainwave Experience portrait.

You receive the animated art file as well as a canvas print that is augmented reality enhanced to make it interactive. Contact us for more details.

Process

Step 1

Capturing the brainwaves

Muse headband

We use the Muse headband to capture brainwaves. It is a non-intrusive monitoring device that reads the electromagnetic pulses created by your brain.

Setting up

Our profound individuals wear the headband while we record their brainwaves as they perform their craft — a bestselling author writes, the longest running ballerina dances, and so on.

Capture the brainwaves

There are five essential brainwave patterns that we record: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta.

Step 2

Processing brainwaves into art

Programming the generative visual pipeline

Exporting the data

All of this data is fed into our unique generative visual pipeline, which uses the brainwave input to manipulate the parameters.

Creating art

This creates beautiful visuals based on thought patterns and biometrics, immortalising the moment of inception.
