ThoughtDiffusion: An Interactive Installation for Exploring Neuro-Art from EEG Data with Stable Diffusion Models

ThoughtDiffusion is an interactive installation that combines cognitive processes with the generative capabilities of AI to generate artistic images in real time.The installation system uses Stable Diffusion models and state-of-the-art neural decoding techniques that allow the mapping of brainwave patterns into coherent visual representations.The installation is based on a non-invasive commodity EEG headset that records users' brain signals fed into a stable diffusion model to output images corresponding to the intended mental state but unique to the participants.This installation uses a Kinect V2 sensor to capture users' body movements, which advance multimodal interaction significantly relating to relaxation, the state of being calm, and the state of attention.
