Emosynth: Valery Vermeulen at TEDxFlanders

Valery Vermeulen is doctor in mathematics, musician, music producer, multimedia artist and guest lecturer. Recently he finished his (probably) last studies as a music producer at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. Central themes in his work is the synergy between mathematics and music. To connect both fields Valery uses human emotions, biofeedback, affective computing, artificial intelligence and even stock market models. Expect a live demonstration of his EMO-Synth system linking emotional reactions and music and much more. Installations and performances of Valery have been widely shown in Belgium as well as abroad.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
