Assistant professor Andrew Nordin is part of a collaborative effort, “Free Rein,” to show via mobile EEG how music and dance influence the mind at a certain of performances recently.
He talked about this effort on Houston Public Media in January with collaborators Anthony Brandt, Professor of Composition and Theory at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, and Andy Noble, Executive/Co-Artistic Director of NobleMotion Dance. The collaborative project studies the neural basis of creativity using mobile EEG during musical and dance performances. The appearance is viewable here.
Several performances were held general audiences and elementary school students at the Hobby Center for Performing Arts from Jan. 19 to Jan. 25. “Free Rein” will also be performed at Rice on Friday, March 13 as part of the Brains in Society Scientia/De Lange Conference XIV.
