Dear NeuroTechX enthusiast,
after a successful season 1 I'd like to invite you to follow season2's livecasts :

NeuroTechX Showcase: Applications (hardware and software)

SUBSCRIBE HERE:
https://www.crowdcast.io/e/neurotechx-showcase---2/3

This brand new season is dedicated to custom projects from all over Canada, with a special focus on Toronto's community but touching upon projects with multiple partners in North America and beyond.
You will see groundbreaking demos and prototypes and learn about new technologies (both hardware and software) related to wearable systems, augmented reality, Brain Computer Interfaces, clinical EEG, arts and body telemetries and much more...
Come and learn with us about the devil in the details.

Episode 3: Mark-David Hosale

Performance, Art, and Cyber-Interoceptive Systems (PACIS) research explores how technology can help us create deeper connections with the world around us, each other, and ourselves by combining the latest advances in bioinformatic sensing technology with physiological awareness techniques. This research challenges notions of disembodiment and technology by engaging somatic awareness practice and computational media to explore questions of human and machine integration through technology-based artworks that critique our techno-scientific world. It is a point of convergence for a number of fields working in the larger domain of artistic and emotive research both internationally and within Canada. PACIS research focuses on the development of new and novel interfaces that promise to be extremely concise methods to communicate difficult nuance based on the physiological measurement of emotional valence and arousal for the purpose of creating cyber-interoceptive systems in performance and computational art. These metrics are used to advance knowledge in the domain of performance-based computational art and somatic movement. This endeavour involves the development of novel interfaces and assessment techniques that promise to be extremely concise methods for the physiological measurement of emotional valence and arousal. We develop novel ways to use the real-time emotional state of an individual as an interactive interface in co-collaborative experiences. In addition, we explore how technology can facilitate transference, i.e. empathy, between audience and performer, audience with audience, and performer with performer for the purpose of creating cyber-interoceptive systems in performance and computational art.

Bio
Mark-David Hosale is a computational artist and composer. He is an Associate Professor and Chair of Computational Arts in the School of the Arts, Media, Performance, and Design, at York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has given lectures and taught internationally at institutions in Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Canada, and the United States. Mark-David’s work explores the boundaries between the virtual and the physical world. His practice is varied, spanning from performance (music and theatre) to public and gallery-based art. His interdisciplinary practice is often built on collaborations with architects, scientists, and other artists. He is the founder of the nD::StudioLab, an adaptable space for research-creation based theoretical discourse, methodological development, and the production of works in the areas of ArtScience, Computational Art, and Interactive Architecture. His research work emphasizes methodological development in the integration of hardware, software and digital fabrication with the goal of creating eversive works that blur the divide between the virtual and the real. For the past 6 years he has been involved with a research collaboration called, Performance, Art, and Cyber-Interoceptive Systems (PACIS) which explore the use of biophysiology as an interactive interface for art and performance.
