An Evening with Paras Kaul : Brainwave Wellness and New Media

June 18, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

| Free

The Washington DC Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH and the Torpedo Factory Art Center are proud to present Paras Kaul, a distinguished speaker who has been a guest presenter at several ACM SIGGRAPH conferences.  Paras is a noted brainwave artist/researcher who composes brainwave music and animation.

parasArtist Paras Kaul (paraskaul.onair.cc, brainwavewellness.onair.cc ) will explore brainwave morphing—a technique she named—that combines EEG, digital media, and brainwave interactive technology for rehabilitation and wellness. Using a brainwave interface system, she produces prototypes for brainwave games designed to morph brainwaves to low frequency coherence—which potentially stimulates the ability to self-heal and rehabilitate.

Paras will guide us in making a connection between the mind and the brain and how brainwave technology can be used to monitor, analyze, and influence health. Her theories suggest that our mental perceptions transmit neurological signals that affect energy fields around the cells, which alter behaviors beyond behaviors inherited from our DNA—possibly explaining the practice of energy healing.

From her extensive experience using a brainwave interactive system—whether for personal transformation or for artistic expression—she will share her experience in the computer graphic industry and her work as an educator, a brainwave artist, and qigong practitioner. Paras will demonstrate brainwave music and the brainwave control of a digital graphic robot.

Please join us on Thursday, June 18, 2015 from 7pm to 9pm in the Main Hall of the Torpedo Factory Art Center to experience the work of a pioneer in brain wellness and new media.
