Co create music with brainwaves Developing a multi-user cooperative Brain Computer Music Interface BCMI leveraging interbrain synchronization during music interaction.
Abstract
As the US Navy moves toward incorporation of more computer/AI based solutions for various applications ranging from training to operations, more interaction between humans and machines/computers will be required. The success of the interaction will depend greatlyon the ability of the human and the machine to "understand" each other and to relay information between the two sources. The proposed effort plans to enable better human-machine interaction through the design of software which will better control and interpret data streams coming from COTs technology for reading electrical brain activity and discern patterns and neurophysiological states in order to ultimately be able to provide both an auditory and visual output of the signal. The experiment looks to develop the first steps toward greatly enhancing the ability to understand and interpret and even predict the signal and to "tune" the human brain so that brain to brain communication is ultimately improved. This type of communication, first through music, as proposed here, but ultimately potentially silently, could lead to completely unthinkable methods for training and even communicating in the future. Not onlywill this effortfall into the area of Cognitive Science for Human Machine Teaming, and potentially transform training through direct human-machine interaction, it may even completely change how Human Systems are leveraged for Decision Superiority. If humans can directly send signals from one brain to the next with a newly designed EEG based tool, which are understood to the user, then scientists could explore how to also send signals to the brain through these methods to potentially synchronize training, learning, or evenflights (pilots).
