See what your brain does when you look at art

BBC Video

Headsets that show the impact of art on human brainwaves are to be toured at museums and galleries around the UK. They are connected to an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor and allow people’s brainwaves to be visualised in 3D and in real-time on screen.

The technology has already been used at the Courtauld Gallery in London where people were able to see the impact pieces by Vincent van Gogh had on their brains.
