Research & Publications / Exhibitions

2016
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Control Systems in Gaming
IEEE BCI / SMC Conference / San Diego, USA
Presented an auditory-only 'Soundscape' game environment controlled exclusively via single-channel EEG (Neurosky MindWave). Engineered a BCI feedback loop where user cognition (Alpha/Beta thresholds) directly modulated spatial audio layers, completely eliminating haptic/visual interfaces.
2025
Narrative Generation in Deterministic Systems
Zenodo (Open Access) / DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15701859
Investigating Procedural Narrative Generation within the rigid game-state logic of Chess. Utilized Large Language Models (LLMs) to translate algebraic notation into emotive storytelling, bridging the gap between Deterministic Game Theory and Natural Language Processing.
2017
Deep Dream: Visualizing Neural Network Layers
Computer Vision Research / Independent Study
Exploratory research into 'Inceptionism' and feature visualization. Reverse-engineered Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to amplify pattern recognition layers, generating 'algorithmic hallucinations' that reveal the internal logic of image classification models.
