A Live Brain-Computer Cinema Performance is a new type of interactive work combining live cinema and the use of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). The project has led to the development of a new system, which has enabled so far the simultaneous multi-brain interaction of one performer and two audience members using Electroencephalography (EEG)-based BCIs in the context of live cinema and mixed-media performances. It was implemented for the first time in ‘Enheduanna – A Manifesto of Falling’ Live Brain-Computer Cinema Performance, which was also a neuroscience experiment in a real-life environment with the presence of public audience.
