Brain computer interface drawing
Via Positive Technology Journal
In the artist's own words:
Not to Draw by Hand. To Draw by Brain.
Artists usually draw pictures by hand with brushes or
pencils. However, the activities of brains must be more
important and essential than the ones of hands at the
moment of creating art. Therefore, I decided to draw
pictures with electrodes being set on my head through
controlling the activities of my own brain. The curved
lines so-called "brain waves" in medicine must be the
"drawings" in the world of fine art, directly drawn by
my brain without using hands.
