Brain/Computer Interface Maker IBVA Technologies Brings Brainwave Tracking to Musicians and Multimedia Artists.Entertainment Editors DARIEN, Conn.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--April 22, 2002 IBVA Technologies has brought their brain tracking technology to musicians and multimedia artists. "Jim Morrison Noun 1. Jim Morrison - United States rock singer (1943-1971) James Douglas Morrison, Morrison was wrong. True sailing is not dead." said Drew DeVito, President of IBVA Technologies, Inc. "This really opens up what musicians and multimedia artists can explore. We are very happy to bring our brain computer interface to the great MAX program. It's a strong combination." Max is a graphical programming environment for music and media applications. The open-ended, modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. of the software allows users to create projects that reflect their interests without having to struggle with the details of low-level programming. The release of this new software component harnesses the power of the IBVA hardware and allows media artists the ability to create their own interactive brainwave programs/installations effectively and easily. "It's nice to have a company that takes suggestions from experimental artists seriously." said Galen Scorer, artist. "I think they (IBVA) will be very pleased with what artists turn out using their system." Information on Mr. Scorer and his work is available at http://www.galen.ca/art Information on MAX is available at http://www.cycling74.com IBVA is short for Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer) 1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. . A system created and refined through over 28 years of research. The IBVA provides easy real time analysis and intricate interactive control of brainwave conditions for professionals as well as the curious. Put simply, the IBVA reads brainwave activity in real time and allows you to use them to trigger movies, music, home automation devices, images, sounds, other software or almost any electronically addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be device through its MIDI MIDI in full Musical Instrument Digital Interface Protocol for transmission of musical data between digital components, such as synthesizers and a computer's sound card. MIDI uses 8-bit asynchronous serial transmission with a data rate of 31. , serial and Expansion Pak For content expansions for computer and video games, see . The Expansion Pak is a RAM add-on for the Nintendo 64 game console, released in 1998. It gives the Nintendo 64 an extra 4MB of RDRAM, for a total of twice the original (4MB) of on-board RAM. features.
