IDMIL Project at McGill Headway Magazine

Avrum Hollinger's work is featured in the latest issue of McGill's Headway Magazine, a collaboration with Profs. Robert Zatorre and Virginia Penhune.

Avrum Hollinger (middle), a graduate student in Marcelo Wanderley's (left) electrical engineering lab, built a metal-free keyboard that can be played inside a highly magnetic MRI machine. The special instrument now makes it possible for neuroscientist Robert Zatorre (right) to monitor musicians' brain activity while they play.

 

SenseStage website now live

The website for the SenseStage project is now live, with download links for all the software tools being developed for the project. The project features:

  • Wireless Sensor Hardware: A small, custom designed PCB board that can be worn on the wrist, sewn into clothing, or embedded in objects.
  • Data Sharing Environment: Collaborators subscribe to any data streams they want to use, and supply data streams of their own for use by other collaborators.
  • Real-Time Control Of Media: In development are modules allowing for analysis of data streams providing building blocks that generate complex behaviours for output media.
