Does our brain react differently to celebrities’ facial features then it does to those of people we don’t recognize? Erika Jungreithmayr and g.tec medical engineering look into this. They began by photographing 50 visitors to the Ars Electronica Center and storing these portraits to a database.

Festivalgoers interested in finding out more about this can participate in the second part of the experiment: the faces will be shown to them while a brain-computer interface measures and graphically depicts their brain waves.
