"The composition "Neurospaces" is a musical work based on medical brain data using hemispherical 3D Audio to create an audible image of the brain activity in its exact spatial correspondence. The work will be performed for mixed ensemble with live 3D electronics.The idea is to use a hemisphere setup of loudspeakers to sonify the localized brain activity of that same respective area. For this, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is used, which results in measurements of brain activity in thousands of localized points in space (voxels). The brain is mapped over the whole loudspeaker hemisphere by sectioning the brain measurement data into groups of voxels, each corresponding to the correct spatial location in the sound space as if the brain was placed over the audience. Different statisti- cal methods yield different representation and interpretation of the data and are used with distinct sonification methods respectively. The audience is invited to engage in a listening experience, which allows them to perceive the detailed complex network of brain activity in all its facets, all around them and in real- time.
Apart from the hemispherical loudspeaker system, the work "Neurospaces" also includes a score for an ensemble of mixed instruments. The score itself is fur- ther based on the brain data, as well as the original experiment with which the fMRI data was acquired. During the experiment, the subject was asked to listen to two baroque flute duets, where the original scores were synthesized using strings and vibraphone for each respective voice instead.
From this brain data, each localized point of brain activity can be translated into a set of frequencies, which in turn can be transformed into a scale of notes that make up the fingerprint of this localized point. The original baroque scores are then filtered through each scale, symbolizing the processing of the heard music in this particular, tiny area of the brain. The results of each filtering process are then overlapped and compositionally interpolated. The overall structure of the piece is inspired by the original experiment itself, which required the subject to concentrate on each instrument respectively at different times. Fusing all this in- formation into one work of music then creates a coherent, artistic image of the whole brain process in sound."
