Neural Scores
Undergraduate Dissertation project

This project used innovative technologies, such as electroencephalography and machine learning, to explore the relationship between music and emotions. By recording and analyzing EEG data from listeners, the project created a series of emotion graph images that visually depict the complete emotional journey evoked by a song as the participant listened to it.
