Mind-Controlled Robots (Interfacing Intelligence) As part of my ongoing research into the integration of Intelligence with Artificial Intelligence, I designed this piece which I performed as a part of the Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence Design (MTIID) program's “Meet the Bots” presentation. Through the combination of Electroencephalography (EEG) and complex algorithms, I was able to use my brain to control the musical robotics of the Machine Lab, and therefore create music.
