A few days ago I posted about the brain on twitter. Well, it appears scientists everywhere are determined to prove that you don’t need your hands to do things like, for example, make music.
Meet the The Multimodal Brain Orchestra. They performed their very first live concert a couple of days ago at the Science Beyond Fiction conference in Prague. Using their brains, the performers controlled variations of visuals, sounds, frequencies, and volumes in the a piece of music called Xmotion. Their goal – to see what the brain can do without the body.
It was a brilliant performance without musical instruments, although the music itself is probably an acquired taste.
Check out their performance here.
