Rapid development and maturation of different brain imaging techniques fostered new research domains of imaging genetics and neurocinematics. On one hand, imaging genetics links together brain activity studies in laboratory that are typically employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) techniques with studies on human behavior genetics. Examples of imaging genetics studies that try to link certain genes with particular brain responses include different mood disorders, human decision-making, or human trust and altruism. Many of these studies already use interactive Virtual Reality (VR) scenarios to investigate human behavior in controlled situations. On the other hand, neurocinematics analyze brain activity of multiple viewers in order to find common patterns of film experiences. Particular interest here represents an area that is very close to neurocinemantics – enactive cinema technologies that allow viewer’s experience to influence the film content in real-time using brain imaging. It is natural to think about the possible new field that would merge the two above-mentioned fields into the new field of neurogenetic media. Here, different media like interactive films, or VR can be specifically designed to trigger particular brain responses, for example, for diagnosis of schizophrenia, that will be linked to the viewers genetic data. But the reverse might be also true – viewer’s genetics might determine which film to watch in the evening. Neurogenetic media futuristic concept has many open questions and this session will aim at stimulating discussion on this topic.

Aleksander Väljamäe defines the concept of neurocinema, neuro genetic media and their impact on artistic creation and scientific research. Cooperation between media artists and researchers in neuroimaging and imaging genetics can bring new inputs to the both areas. For example, open a new neuroscience-inspired perspectives for narrative strategies in film and, at the same time, foster the use of structured audio-visual stimuli that can advance our understanding of human cognition and emotion.

For me, the neurocinema is a little bit different, it is more related to the concept of enactive media, it means that it is a hybrid between brain imaging studies from one side and from other side interactive cinema where the story develops according to your reactions. But now it will be not developing according to your explicit reactions, but more on unconscious, implicit level.
