Combining neurofeedback training with participatory art, and electronic music, Theta Lab explores the possibilities of a unique form of electronic art, in which attention, experience and compositional form become radically entwined.

Electronic soundscapes controlled by changes in Alpha and Theta brainwave activity are  used to guide participants  to a place of intense but wakeful stillness – akin to a form of lucid dreaming. Interviews and diagrams recorded with participants after their interaction document the range of experiences and reflections supported by this unusual human-computer interaction.

ThetaLab explores new connections between consciousness, subconsciousness, creativity and electronic art – combining experiential and interactive approaches with documentary and ethnographic aesthetics, to explore in a concrete and highly focussed way, the dynamics of consciousness itself as a material for aesthetic enquiry – in this case the liminal states of consciousness and attention uniquely supported by Alpha/Theta neurofeedback training.
