EEG headsets recorded electrical brain activity from individuals as they observed art.
Visitors at the Menil Collection, a Houston art museum, prepare to wear EEG headsets as they view "The Boundary of Life is Quietly Crossed," an exhibit by conceptual artist Dario Robleto. The NSF-funded University of Houston team used the EEG headsets to record visitor's electrical brain activity as they viewed the art. The data should lead to a deeper understanding of neural activity.
