This thing serves no purpose if the movement and lights are seemingly random even if they are based on "brain waves". There's no cohesiveness to what it's doing based on the "data". It's just tech for tech's sake, and the result isn't quite as stunning as the creators want us to think it is. It's a nice build, but that's practically where the interest stops for me. Also, it's not a "dress" but more of an exoskeleton. Sorry I can't really spin this any more positively than I did, but it's my honest opinion.

Yeah based on their description of what this is supposed to be doing, we should be seeing some pretty interesting control over the lights and motors. But they mostly just seem to flutter randomly. If this was mounted on a statue instead of a living person would it behave differently? It’s disappointing after seeing so much video I’m not certain the answer is yes.

> This thing serves no purpose if the movement and lights are seemingly random... It looks neat. It makes for good discussion. It inspires others to think about various ideas. Art serves a purpose, but we all appreciate it differently. > it's not a "dress" but more of an exoskeleton. Who made you the arbiter of "dress"? :D

  >Who made you the arbiter of "dress"? :D Who made you the arbiter of when someone can express an opinion?? My opinion is that this is not a dress, it is closer to an exoskeleton. So, every bunch of circuits and wires I might hook up to some motors and lights is now considered "art"? That's good to know.

This is mostly correct. However, one could add an ML classifier to find patterns in EEG that correspond to e.g. happy vs serious mood. Mood recognition can be done from a camera pointed at the face. If there's any rhyme or reason to the set of 1024 EEG series, the network would learn it.
