Brain activity while drawing together (IMAGE)
Caption
With the help of portable brain-scanning technology (fNIRS), the ETH researchers recorded the brain activity of two people while they were drawing at the same time. The lightweight caps fitted with sensors measure changes in blood flow in the brain – while allowing participants complete freedom of movement. The colourful lines show how the participants’ body movements were also captured, to be analysed in near future.
