My research has two branches, both under the realm of "musical creativity". I am creating and testing Brain Computer Interfaces that can be used for music composition, and also exploring the neural mechanisms involved in making music.

Quick overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a tool that allows its user to communicate to an interface using only his or her brain signals. Research into this area has yielded a variety of applications that range from spelling via evoked potentials to driving a wheelchair by attending to a specific flashing pattern. There has also been some research into using BCI for creative expression, such as using BCIs for painting images or drawing shapes. Following in that vein of creativity, my research looks at BCIs and how they can be used to create music.
