IBVA Technologies has brought their brain
tracking technology to musicians and multimedia artists.
"Jim Morrison was wrong. True sailing is not dead." said Drew DeVito,
President of IBVA Technologies, Inc. "This really opens up what musicians
and multimedia artists can explore. We are very happy to bring our brain
computer interface to the great MAX program. It's a strong combination."
Max is a graphical programming environment for music and media applications.
The open-ended, modular design of the software allows users to create
projects that reflect their interests without having to struggle with the
details of low-level programming.
The release of this new software component harnesses the power of the IBVA
hardware and allows media artists the ability to create their own
interactive brainwave programs/installations effectively and easily.
"It's nice to have a company that takes suggestions from experimental
artists seriously." said Galen Scorer, artist. "I think they (IBVA) will be
very pleased with what artists turn out using their system."
