At CEATEC 2024, we visited the JVCKENWOOD sales space, which featured three areas themed round “Connecting folks, time, and house to create the long run.” This aligns with the corporate’s philosophy of “bringing pleasure and peace of thoughts to folks world wide” by cutting-edge know-how to counterpoint lives. JVCKENWOOD showcased progressive video, audio, and wi-fi options designed to create new worth for the long run. The primary space, labeled by the corporate “Impression – Leisure Space,” * featured tech demonstrations that engaged all 5 senses—imaginative and prescient, listening to, contact, odor, and style—offering a deeply immersive, multi-sensory expertise.

AI Creates Music and Video Primarily based On Your Unconscious Emotional Response
On the JVCKENWOOD sales space’s “Impression Leisure Space,”* we skilled an progressive demo combining brainwave detection, human senses, and AI to create customized music and video. Individuals are uncovered to stimuli, comparable to pre-prepared movies, designed to evoke emotional responses. A brainwave headset then detects the feelings generated, and AI makes use of this information to compose music and mission corresponding photos in real-time. The end result, described as “the music and video you created,” is performed again. The AI additional classifies the participant’s unconscious reactions, mechanically producing music and visuals that mirror their emotional state, providing a novel interactive expertise.
How Does The Know-how Behind the Emotion-driven AI-Generated Music And Video Creation Work?
Suguru Goto, Affiliate Professor within the Division of Musical Creativity and the Setting at Tokyo College of the Arts, introduced a demo developed by a staff of researchers with the assist of JVCKENWOOD. Suguru Goto, who can also be a composer and a media artist, showcased the progressive use of brain-computer interface know-how for artwork creation on the JVCKENWOOD sales space.
How Did The Demo Work?
The staff used an Emotiv Perception EEG headset designed to assist researchers and engineers develop progressive options for brain-computer interfaces in numerous fields. Having personally examined a number of Emotiv merchandise of their early days, I can vouch for the robustness of their brainwave-enabled {hardware} instruments, which have develop into trusted options in neuroscience-based interface growth.
After we arrived on the demo, the headset was already calibrated to the participant’s brainwaves. Based on Suguru Goto, the system requires just some minutes to calibrate for every new consumer. The method started with a short meditation session, adopted by the participant viewing a number of pre-prepared movies designed to set off particular emotional responses. The Emotiv Perception headset recorded the brainwaves throughout these actions whereas AI-driven software program interpreted the information.
Suguru Goto defined that brainwaves are analyzed utilizing machine studying algorithms, which categorize the information into 28 emotional states. These states are organized on a Cartesian airplane, with the X-axis (horizontal) starting from discomfort (unpleasure) to pleasure, and the Y-axis (vertical) starting from alertness (arousing) to sleepiness.He additionally confirmed me a pill displaying a graphic illustration of how the software program additional divides these 28 emotional states into 64 subdivisions, offering a extra detailed view of the participant’s emotional responses.

After the participant accomplished the video periods, the system mechanically generated music and video based mostly on his emotional responses. This demonstration highlighted how brainwave information, mixed with synthetic intelligence, can create subconscious-based customized audio-visual content material, providing a glimpse into the potential of brain-computer interface applied sciences in inventive fields.
For the demo at CEATEC, the sound was performed by JVCKENWOOD wood audio system, and the AI-generated video was displayed on a big display screen.
The creative idea of the mission, shared with me in a non-public video, entails displaying emotion-triggering movies on a monitor dealing with the participant, whereas the AI-generated visuals are projected onto the ground in a darkish room the place the particular person is seated.
Past AI-based Artwork: Unlock Limitless Potentialities For Human Wellness
Despite the fact that that is a powerful creative analysis mission, Affiliate Professor Suguru Goto indicated that it affords vital potential for health-related purposes, notably psychological well being care.
I do know that Emotiv’s major objective is to supply high-quality EEG-based {hardware} and software program instruments to allow researchers to develop options that enhance cognitive and psychological well being. This consists of creating progressive approaches to music neurofeedback remedy.

Along with video stimuli, different sensory inputs—comparable to sound, style, and odor—may additionally set off emotional responses in members. For instance, the participant may maintain a JVCKENWOOD “Hug Speaker” (see picture), which vibrates in sync with the sound, or enjoy the scent of the wooden from audio system crafted from numerous kinds of pure wooden. These stimuli may complement the AI-generated video and music created from brainwave information.

Though we didn’t expertise the demo for different sensory stimuli on the sales space, I’m assured they might work seamlessly with the identical demo setup and AI-driven software program, creating photos and music based mostly on the participant’s unconscious emotional response to this sensory stimulation.
