Max Burstyn
Neuroscience
Max is a visiting neuroscience and music researcher at the UCL Institute of Neurology in Queen's Square, London. Over the past 5 years he has worked as Head of Interactive Audiovisual Development at MindLink AI, collaborated in biodata research projects at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin and Leipzig, and he has given talks and demonstrations at international electronic music festivals such as Boom and Modem.
He primarily uses EEG headsets in combination with TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, and Ableton, to create realtime bio-feedback systems in order to explore different states of consciousness, and then extrapolate methodologies which are used to facilitate long-term therapeutic interventions.
He is currently developing his career in London, working across medical, technology, and arts industries to bring neuroscience research to the public through interactive installations, clinical trials, and electronic music events.
The primary mission of MindLink AI is to provide novel healthcare systems in the form of creative and interactive technologies. They recently reached the finals of the Mayor's Entrepreneurship and COG-X awards, and have collaborated with Imperial College London, University College London, and the Royal Geographical Society.
Max's role at MindLink is to design and implement modular music-making, digital painting, and 3D environment design tools in conjunction with body-tracking cameras for use in therapeutic, clinical, and creative settings.
