exploration At The Horse Hospital, London.

environments from brain waves!
Patrick Degenaar, on visual prosthetics for augmented vision - and the
prospects for bionic eyes
Lauren Stewart on what our brain does with music, and why some people (with
amusia) just don't get it.
Joydeep Bhattacharya on why sounds stir our emotions.
Also:
Strings - an interactive sonic textile installation you can play.
Ongoing junk instrument workshop with Ella & Iain from Shootin' Breeze
and
