Painting just by thinking, without muscular input: this is what Brain Painting enables you to do. All you need is an electroencephalograph, two monitors and a brain.
Announcement
The Uni Würzburg Brain Painting Team (Loic, Elisa, Andrea) condoles with the family of Jürgen Thiele on the loss of a great person and brain painter Despite the devastating disease ALS Jürgen was cheerful and enthusiastic, and pursued his new style of painting with breath taking stamina. We admired his endurance and love his paintings. We always enjoyed his company and share our deepest sympathy with his friends and family. We are grieving for having lost yet another friend to the disease.
Our BP artists have been working hard, check out their art !

History of Brain Painting
We installed BP at the home of two artists in the locked-in-state due to ALS. Formerly cut off from the possibility of creative expression, BP brought back the world of colors. Over the years, the engagement of the BP artists has been strong and extraordinary stable.
