During the interview, participants wear an EEG-reading headset, which indicates states of relaxation and anxiety in response to visual stimuli. As they slowly turn over placards of charged imagery such as a house on fire, a person yelling and a bottle of pills, Kildall track’s their responses on a standard form.
At the conclusion of the session, he feeds the responses into After Thought Generator — software that he wrote which algorithmically creates a unique 5-minute video from a library of 200 clips. Continue reading
