"Does visual entertainment have an effect on the physical body?"

FLICKER 2.0

Goal:
Brainwave spectrum emmitted while watching flicker translated into sound.

Set-up:
test subject-asian american female
IBVA
Madrid flicker video sample
MAX interface
SuperCollider to emulate sounds using algorithmic functions

*Test A
emulation of spectrum detected by volume level changes in pink noise

Result:
-slight building of pressure in head
-very slight nausea
-changes in noise level in sync with horizontal lines moving across the screen

*Test B
set pitch to follow the dominant frequency of spectrum

Result:
-pitch changes with frequency of eye movements
-little change in sound

*Test C
set beat to follow dominant frequency without eye movement. set ground
frequency to constant of 200 hz. Beat frequency 200 - 460 hz.

Note*change in test subject to australian male*

-subject fell asleep
-little to no brainwave activity
-little change in sound

Conclusion:
Changes in frequency levels too slight to create dynamic sound range.
Increase in activity of observer may create sufficient levels for more
interesting sounds results.
