Abstract

A growing number of individuals live with medical conditions and injuries that render them minimally communicative. Assessing their level of consciousness and awareness is a major challenge that has profound implications for care decisions and their relationships. Resonance: a novel brain-computer interface assemblage, is designed to detect and augment expressions of consciousness in minimally communicative individuals. Resonance consists of (1) high-density EEG features that vary with states of consciousness; (2) sound; and (3) therapeutic clowns. Seven EEG features of consciousness are calculated in real time and mapped to sonic output. Therapeutic clowns use multisensory improvisational play to interact with these sonified brain features to create interpersonal connections with minimally communicative individuals. Resonance has the potential to reveal real-time variations in an individual’s level of consciousness, which may create an entirely new form of interpersonal interaction with minimally communicative persons.

共振：脑电图、声音和治疗小丑的脑机接口组合，用于检测意识

越来越多的人因疾病或受伤而无法与他人进行交流。评估他们的意识和认知水平是一项重大挑战，对护理决策和他们之间的关系有着深远的影响。共振：一种新颖的脑机接口组件，旨在检测和增强极少交流者的意识表达。共振包括：（1）随意识状态变化的高密度脑电图特征；（2）声音；（3）治疗小丑。实时计算意识状态的七个脑电图特征，并将其映射到声音输出中。治疗小丑利用多感官即兴表演与这些声波化的大脑特征互动，从而与极少交流的人建立人际联系。共振有可能揭示个人意识水平的实时变化，这可能会创造一种全新的人际互动形式，与极少交流的人进行互动。

期刊介绍： Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
