Music of the Hemispheres was performed at the Issue Project Room on 29 November 2011. The online invitation describes the event as:

"A multi-sensory film + art + science extravaganza, the idea for which originates in the work of neurophilosopher Dan Lloyd, whose research focuses on taking patterns found in brain activity and converting them into musical scores. These scores are not biofeedback or music cognition experiments, but rather, they extract the 'architecture of consciousness' as it occurs in the brain, and assign its varying components musical tones. The result is musical scores meant to reflect brain activity itself."

Part experimental film, part neuroscience experiment, part lecture-demonstration, part translation project, all concert, Music of the Hemispheres is a collaboration among filmmaker Elisa Da Prato, neurophilosopher Dan Lloyd, composer Aaron Einbond, and neuroscientist Zoran Josipovic. The inspiration came from Da Prato's desire to make a documentary film about Lloyd's theory that music, rather than language or still images, is the best way to perceive brain activity, and therefore consciousness. Lloyd also argues that consciousness may in fact be musical in structure. As it turns out, the sonifications we heard in this piece -- and the visualizations of brain activity we saw with them -- provide a way to see and hear a subject's act of spectatorship and auditory processing.
