Georgia Oct 21, 2023 (ATB Digital).– Imagine a classroom where future engineers not only learn equations and theories, but also create art from their own brain waves. This scenario is not a fantasy, but a reality at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where a course called “Arts and Geometry” is attracting a lot of attention.
The course uses electroencephalography (EEG), a technique that measures the electrical activity of the brain. Students use EEG headsets to capture patterns of brain activity which are then translated into art. For those unfamiliar with the term, electroencephalography is a monitoring method that records the electrical activity generated by brain cells.
Unlike conventional engineering courses, which focus on construction and structural design, “Arts and Geometry” delves into fields as diverse as neuroscience and therapeutic art. The goal is to familiarize students with specialized mathematical tools that allow them to understand complex physical systems or large data sets.
Students not only learn theory, but also apply their knowledge practically. For example, a visual artist wearing an EEG headset can turn his brain activity into a melody, which then inspires a dancer. This approach has benefits beyond the classroom, including mental well-being and increased self-esteem.
The course was inspired by the play “Picasso en el Lapin Agile”, which imagines a dialogue between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein. This cultural context adds a layer of depth to the course, encouraging students to explore the intersections between science, technology, and art.
This type of interdisciplinary education could be an indicator of what is to come. As we move into the era of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, the need for more holistic training becomes increasingly evident. It is not just about training technically competent engineers, but about cultivating creative and emotionally intelligent minds.
