"To create the images, Chasserot first takes portraits of each subject. Then, he creates a separate series of images from the original photo in which each participant's photo is altered slightly, feature by feature. From there, the subject is shown each picture in the new series while wearing a brain-monitoring electroencephalogram (EEG) device.
In the original pilot study, Chasserot used just these readings to find the subjects' "idealized" versions of themselves and displayed them next to their original portraits... But, for the next series, he's teaming up with Suzanne Dikker, PhD, a neuroscientist at New York University...
he's more interested in using these scientific concepts to further explore the project's cultural and artistic ideas."
This is really fascinating - and I sort of don't want to know what mine would be.
