A Minimalist Brain-Computer Musical Interface for Real-Time Emotion-Driven Sonification: System Design and Preliminary Evaluation
Researchers developed a brain-computer musical interface (BCMI) that translates EEG signals into real-time adaptive music based on emotional states. Testing with 22 participants revealed that frontal alpha asymmetry—a common neurophysiological marker—failed to reliably distinguish intentional emotional states, with individual differences like musical training explaining more variance than actual emotional manipulation.
