NEUROLIVE is the world’s first research project using a multi-system EEG hyperscanning setup to study live experiences. Within this interdisciplinary research consortium encompassing artists, scientists, and audiences, the affiliated researchers investigate what makes live experiences special. Liveness is a central aspect of performing arts, including dance performance, theatre and music concerts. NEUROLIVE explores the idea that live experiences are behavioral, psychophysiological, and neural measures of similarity between the minds, brains, and bodies of performers and spectators.
Dr. Guido Orgs is the principal investigator and scientific director of NEUROLIVE with a background in both cognitive neuroscience and performing dance. His main research interests cover the cognitive neuroscience of movement and dance and the neuroaesthetics of the live performing arts. Currently, Dr. Guido Orgs is Reader/Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at Goldsmiths, University of London.
