Light-Minded is an interactive LED and fiber-optic brain sculpture installation. Participants’ inputs and responses to prompts are decoded into keywords that query a large database of neuroimaging studies, lighting up brain areas associated with these inputs to create a dynamic, colorful display of brain activity.
This project is currently being developed by: Amy Romanello and Zach Dunton
This project was conceptualized by: Stephan Krohn
Light-minded can be thought of as a set of modules, or components, currently being developed by individual team members. As of April 2025, work on the sculpture design and LED infrastructure is driven by Zach Dunton. Fullstack software development, including integration with NiMARE tools and neuroimaging datasets, is carried out by Amy Romanello. Stephan Krohn provides ongoing consultations on design and functionality.
