Global Empathy VIA networked EEG technology
Emerging brain-computer interface technologies are expanding the range of human expression, consciousness and human potential.
I seek to dissolve notions of the self, attachment to the self, and increase empathy between people in order to reduce human suffering.
This hypothetical project involves a globally connected network of participants wearing EEG brain-computer interfaces.
By displaying the average of thousands, millions or billions of live readings back to the participants, their minds will slowly become closer to the average reading, effectively entering into an empathetic resonance feedback loop.
Through this I hope to enact a computer aided global awakening of empathy and compassion between people of the world.
Phrases like, "do you see what I mean" and "do you know how I feel" could one day literally become a thing of the past as the resolution of our shared experiences heightens through the advancement of brain scanning technology, virtual reality and the Internet. What could emerge from such a large percentage of the earths population reaching this heightened shared experience and synchronizing their brains together to the same wavelength is something I can only speculate about, but I expect it to have a profound impact on society as a whole.
Electroencephalography is defined as the recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain. Rather than measuring the subtly of individual neurons firing EEG systems rely on the emergent pulses of millions of neurons which all fire simultaneously in wave patterns. Amplitude, phase, frequency and coherence of these signals as well as rhythmic neuronal oscillations of the delta, theta, alpha, beta, gama and mu brainwaves are all measured with great accuracy.
Several consumer grade EEG scanners are now available on the market. the price point will eventually reach a level where most households have EEG devices in them and they will become as ubiquitous as the cellphone. in fact cellphones and personal internet ready devices are a likely candidate for the eventual global distribution of this technology. to this date many companies are in pursuit of this technology to aid in education, gaming, and the treatment of brain disorders.
The following infographic represents existing EEG technology including medical grade readers, MRI technology, consumer grade EEG devices, and an iphone EEG application. i anticipate a global empathetic resonance feedback loop to be an eventual outcome to the advancement and distribution of brain scanning technology.
