Greg Hooper has been working with Professor Jason Mattingley, the Foundation Chair of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Queensland Brain Institute as part of his 2008 Synapse Residency, supported by ANAT in association with the Australia Council for the Arts, the Australian government’s arts funding and advisory body.

Greg is collaborating with Jason to explore the interaction between environment and brain dynamics. By using specific audio environmental inputs, they will investigate whether the resulting brain dynamics can be used to generate works that in turn give rise to those same brain dynamics in a different listener. If successful, the project will develop a deeper understanding of the processes that allow art to have meaning. This blog tracks the project’s progress.
