ROCO concludes its Connections Series and its 21st season with Neurofeedback—a bold exploration of how music and the brain intertwine. Pairing ROCO musicians with advanced technology that translates real-time neural activity into immersive visuals that react to the sound waves emitted by the musical instruments, the second performance is part of MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Music-in-Medicine series.
Designed in partnership with neuroscientists and digital artists, Neurofeedback invites audiences to consider how music moves us emotionally and how we process it biologically. The concert features guest pianist Mei Rui (Director of Music in Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center) and a newly commissioned piece by Anthony Brandt, along with visuals created by animator/illustrator Badie Khaleghian.
This concert will also be performed on Saturday, May 2, at 5:00 pm at ARTECHOUSE Houston.
