What Your Brain Does When You Look at Art

    Headsets that show the impact of art on human brainwaves will be available at museums and galleries around the UK.

    From BBC Click, the BBC’s flagship technology programme.

    The headsets are connected to an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor and allow people’s brainwaves to be visualised in 3D and in real-time on screen.

    The technology has already been used at the Courtauld Gallery in London where people were able to see the impact pieces by Vincent van Gogh had on their brains.
