Brainstorms World Premiere Competition

Announcement

Thank you to all of those who provided answers to our competition. We had some close to accurate descriptions, but unfortunately not from anyone able to attend the launch tomorrow, 7th of June. We have had to close the competition with no winner. Thank you again for some wonderfully imaginative and a few very funny suggestions. See answer below:

This a visual representation of EEG data.  The circular waveform depicts the brainwave activity recorded during the “Brainstorms” experience at Dolby Labs Soho in October 2023. It shows 125 people’s aggregate brain response to the iconic track “The Great Gig in the Sky.”  Each colour represents brain data metric of the group changing as the song plays. Excitement – magenta, Interest- Orange, Relaxation-purple, Stress- Yellow, illustrating the group of brain’s changing states during the listening experience.  The EEG is captured using the Emotiv Epoch-X headset and the  metrics outputted from the Emotiv software. The coloured metric waves are overlaid on a static grey graphic representing the audio waveform of the entire song. The sweep speed has been increased so that playback of the whole song is condensed into a shorter time for more immediate Instagram engagement.
