Matt Rogerson presents research at IRCAM

MA by research student Matt Rogerson will present a paper at the prestigious annual IRCAM Forum workshop in Paris in March. The paper, Dromos/Autos: The Autistic Ontology as Performance, outlines Matt’s performance-research project exploring how EEG (Electroencephalography) and neurofeedback-facilitated sensory overload can lead to new performance paradigms, mediated through a particularly idiosyncratic yet revealing interface for musical expression: the autistic cognition.
