How to bridge the captivating worlds of media art and cutting-edge neurotechnologies? Can the synthesis of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and creative expression redefine the future of art and science? In an era where technology touches every aspect of our lives, how can we harness BCIs to unlock new forms of creativity and understanding?

Enter Ninon Lize Masclef, a visionary at the unique crossroads of art and science. With a foundation in literary studies, Ninon pivoted to computer engineering at the University of Technology of Compiègne, driven by a belief in the transformative power of computer science to tackle contemporary human challenges and renew creativity through generative models. With a recent Master's degree in Data Mining, Ninon is on a quest to develop technologies that enrich human life, focusing on computational neurosciences and brain-computer interfaces.

As a Research Scientist at ONTBO and an Artist in Residence at Dassault Systèmes, Ninon has embarked on pioneering projects from emotion recognition through EEG, ECG, and EDA signals to the design of three distinct brain-computer interfaces: music generation from brainwaves, a mask displaying emotional states, and dream paintings. Her work in Vélizy-Villacoublay, Île-de-France, explores the frontiers of visual object recognition from EEG signals and the creation of a dream content dataset, blending the lines between neural activity and artistic creation.

Ninon stands as a proud emblem of the interdisciplinary path promoted by the University of Technology of Compiègne, where the integration of Humanities and Technology, inspired by visionaries like Bernard Stiegler, has enabled her to carve a niche at the intersection of Art and Science.

Join us as Ninon Lize Masclef introduces you to the fascinating interplay between media art and neurotechnologies, sharing her journey from academic research to artistic innovation. Discover her insights on career development in this interdisciplinary field, the challenges and rewards of translating brain activity into art, and her advice for those inspired to follow a similar path.

Tune in to this episode of "Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!" for an enlightening conversation with Ninon, a true pioneer who is redefining the boundaries of creativity and technology.
