Traditional electronic music relies on keyboards, knobs, and mouse clicks. But with an electrode-studded headband called the Cyberlink Interface, users can make music with their brainwaves.  
  
At the final party this week at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, Keith Secola and Wild Band of Indians demonstrated Brain Actuated Music as a part of their musical set. While the technology demonstrated was developed with more prosaic uses in mind, using it to make music showed how deeply changes in interfaces affect how users approach technology.  
  
Developed by Dr. Andrew Junker, the headband, or Cyberlink Interface, uses three electrodes to sense 12 different biological signals derived from brain and muscle activity. It translates the signals into "brainfingers" and transmits them to a computer, controlling such technologies as Windows-based computer applications, screen cursors, and environmental controls. The interface proves especially useful for people with severe disabilities, providing a means to communicate where it didn't exist before.
