Mix-It-Yourself with a Brain-Computer Music Interface

This paper is a follow up from the work presented at the ICDVRAT 2006 conference in Esbjerg, where the first author introduced a Brain-Computer Music Interface (BCMI) to control a generative music system. Here we introduce a new musical application for the BCMI (an EEG-controlled music mixer) and report on efforts to make our BCMI system cheaper to implement, more portable and easier for users to operate. We also comment on a new method that we are developing to generate melodies from the topological behaviour of the EEG.
