Neuro Space
The distance between our psyche and the computer
Alicia Blakey
Project Description
Neuro data (ND) is the compilation and use of data drawn directly from the brain, which we can measure using Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) with Electroencephalography (EEG). This thesis demonstrates the need for producing documentation on neuro data and the BCI using discursive methods to reveal issues that occur below the surface of public discussion, articulating how computer integration effects brain function. There are public gaps in the mental health sector addressing our neuro-digital health. This thesis creates art as discourse from a foundation of scientific based research.
