Award-winning composer Prof. Walter Werzowa and neuroscientist, AI researcher and entrepreneur Olivier Oullier explore how the combination of music, neuroscience and AI is opening a new era in human-machine collaboration. Together they present state-of-the-art research and technology linking music and brain activity, illustrated by concrete use cases in healthcare, hospitality and the creative industries. They then bring this research and technology to the stage, with Werzowa conducting the Vision Quartet and Oullier operating a brain-computer interface, while Garson Yu's video imagery evolves with the music and the musicians' brainwaves.

Smart neurotech wearables monitor the performers' brain activity, which a multimodal neuroadaptive AI system translates in real time into changes in music, sound design and visuals. The brain, usually the hidden source of a performance, becomes an audible and visible part of it.

For the Frontiers Health audience, this opening talk and performance offers a direct encounter with technologies that could make healthcare more responsive and personalized, in an experience that can be seen, heard, and felt.
