‘BIORHYTHM: Music and the Body‘ is the latest exhibition at Dublin’s Science Gallery, exploring the science of human reactions to music.

Visitors can partake in experiments to find out how their brain and emotions respond to certain types of music. The installation includes over a dozen different installations, including ‘Emotion in Motion’, which uses heart-rate monitors and skin conductance to read your physical response to music samples, and the ‘Sonic Bed’, a structure that visitors can lay in as...

You might remember that I posted recently about the Science Gallery and their Open Call for entries to their new Flagship show, Biorhythm, which opens on July 2nd.

In the meantime, they have a new exhibition being launched tonight called ‘Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef’. I was at their recent TED X 3.0 talk and was really impressed by one of their speakers, Margaret Wertheim. Margaret has spoken at TED before, as you can see here: Her goal is create... Similar posts
