USF Researcher Harnesses Brain Power to Create Art
Andujar is now looking into curating a virtual reality art exhibit, and minting the images into the first brain-based non-fungible tokens.

The University of South Florida's Marvin Andujar has developed a prototype brain-computer interface (BCI) that permits users to create abstract art with their thoughts.
Andujar said the technology's core function is intended to help people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) improve their ability to concentrate, and to decrease their reliance on Adderall.
The BCI enables users to employ brain painting to train their attention.
Users sit at a computer wearing an electroencephalogram "hat," concentrating on an object or color; the BCI's machine learning component translates brain signals into a specific action, generating "art" on a blank computer "canvas."
Participants in a recently concluded two-year study showed improvement.
