| Biosensing musical technologies use biological signals of a human subject to control music. One of the earliest applications can be identified in Alvin Lucier's Music for Solo Performer (1965). Alpha waves generated when the performer enters a peculiar mind state are transduced into electrical signals used to vibrate percussion instruments. Over the past thirty years biosensing technologies have been comprehensively studied and presently notable biophysical-only music performances1 are being implemented at SARC by a research group lead by the main contributor to the Bio Muse project Ben Knapp. | Biosensing musical technologies use biological signals of a human subject to control music.
