brain-computer music interfacing

listening study 1

Nov 22, 2019

This survey attempts to collect effects of a soundscape for meditation supported by sonic driving. The sonic driving derives from the shamanic journey tradition, but is not specifically a shamanic journey. The estimated completion time is 30 minutes, including a 20 minute meditation.

(from the survey's introduction)


The soundscape tested the piece ‘jester’, which can be found on the ‘shamanic soundscape - level two’ release.

A short overview of the analysis is presented as part of the PhD commentary. More detailed analysis will be presented later in a separate publication.





The data from the shamanic meditation survey (n=83) is analysed with RAWGraphs.
