Please see the event description below from 2016 CAAD Multi-Arts Collective participant, Gabrielle Miranda.

Greetings! On behalf of Creative Arts Across Discplines and one of the three groups funded by the program this summer, Do You Hear What I Hear, you are cordially invited to an Experimental Evening in the EEG Lab in Olmstead! Do You Head What I Hear is composed of myself, Gabby Miranda (political science), Conor Flanagan (also political science), Maya Enriquez (cognitive science) and Elisabeth Boyce-Jacino (also cognitive science). You may have heard of our project, as we have been crowd-sourcing students on campus this summer to participate as test subjects in our research project. This project uses the an electroencephalographic net to record brain waves. Each participant is quite literally hooked up to a computer and can witness elements of their brain activity on a screen.

When else have you ever heard of such a thing?

This coming Tuesday, July 19th, we are inviting whoever (anyone from any major, faculty, Poughkeepsie folks, etc.) to come to the lab, Room A71, for a chance to participate in our Experimental Open House. Starting at 7pm, you will have a chance to be netted (though this will come at a first come, first served basis). A variety of interdisciplinary-oriented, creative activities and mini-workshops will aslo be offered. The goal of the event is to experiment with engaging a “creative” mindset in a “scientific” setting. So come blur the disciplinary lines with us and realize some of your own experimental ponderings.
