Alex Hoyles’ art often centres around reinterpretation of scientific concepts and he has a particular interest in technology, so his pairing with Veema Lodhia should prove an interesting partnership.
Veema’s research is about perceptual processing in autistic spectrum disorders. In particular, she is investigating the auditory system using dichotic pitch stimuli and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings of the brains electrical activity. Dichotic pitch experiments can investigate the pitch of a sound, sound localisation and separation of competing sounds.
Veema showed Alex some of the equipment, facilities and analysis she can use in her research. This included a sound proof room (anechoic chamber).
