“Meeting of Minds” is a unique combination of artistic performance and scientific experiment: as the dancers perform, they wear portable electroencephalography (EEG) caps that record the electrical signals in their brains. A collaboration of the University of Houston IUCRC BRAIN Center, Musiqa and NobleMotion Dance, the 35-minute dance explores the process of building social connection. The choreography been designed to support the scientific inquiry: for instance, later sections of the dance focus on eye contact, touch and synchronized movement, all key signals of engagement and cooperation. Innovative visual projections respond in real time to the live EEG data. Featuring original music by Anthony Brandt and choreography by Andy and Dionne Noble. The program also includes two other new dance works.
