Dr Greg Hooper lectures in the Information Environments and Multimedia programs at the University of Queensland. He has a degree in Cognitive Science with a PhD in Psychiatry.
His Synapse residency at the Queensland Brain Institute involves the exploration and exploitation of the interaction between environmental and brain dynamics with application to both generative art systems and neuroscience.
Previous work by Hooper indicates that patterns in the continuous entropy of music signals can be used to classify music genres and the ’sociability’ of music. The more recent EEG sonification showed that brain dynamics reflected structural properties of the music that a listener was hearing, and that these structural properties were themselves audible in music derived from the brain dynamics.
The long term goal is to produce art work derived from the dynamics of an environment such that the art works trigger meaning and emotional states similar to those produced by the original environment. A positive result from this research program would provide a twofold result - the generative art systems and validation of the model(s) underlying the analysis of brain dynamics.

Hosted by Dusan Bojic, this symposium charts the ways in which art and science gravitate towards one another within contemporary culture.
Practising artists, curators, scientists, and academics will present individual, collaborative and interdisciplinary perspectives on key issues in the field of artscience.
Speakers include Dr Keith Armstrong, Svenja Kratz, Dr Sam Bucolo, Dr Greg Hooper, Dr Patricia Adams and Oron Catts. | |
