Node: Updating Emotions

  • James Mackenzie

Using an EEG headset I can decode your internal emotions - better than you can. Measuring brain activity using electric sensors and inputting the data into a digital neural network, the technology can detect your intimate, authentic feelings - in real time. Developed as a real and functioning product -- Node (Neural Observation and Display of Emotion) also opens speculative future discussions. Giving a taste of what future communication landscapes could be like; this critiques the need for and the possible implications of a digital emotion manager. Come try Node for yourself at the Central Saint Martins Graduate Showcase. Monday 20 June - 5pm Process to be revealed soon.
