The Female Role Model Project, an interactive theatrical experience incorporating live neuroscientific recordings, is coming to the New York City’s premier hub for arts and technology- 3-Legged Dog (3LD) for a four week engagement November 7th through December 3rd, 2018.

While electrical activity of their brains is monitored, the show’s actresses portray different female role models, including Marilyn Monroe, Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, Mulan and Kim Kardashian. To avoid fixed performances, the actresses engage audience members (some of whom are outfitted with the same biofeedback equipment) in a series of playback games. In real time the brain-computer interface transmits 3D projections and music streams of the resulting neural function, and, led by a real-life neuroscientist, we are asked to ponder our own thoughts and experiences in relation to those of the actresses, and select audience members. EEG (electroencephalogram) headsets are provided by tech sponsors Emotiv and Brainbit.
