How a dancer with ALS used brainwaves to perform live
Summary
Dentsu Lab's Project Humanity translates minute muscle signals and brainwaves into digital expression, enabling a dancer with ALS to perform on stage via a digital avatar. The December 2025 Amsterdam live showcase demonstrates an embodied interface that could extend to general purpose software interaction and metaverse spaces. The work highlights a shift toward brain-computer and EMG driven interfaces with broad implications for accessibility, education, remote work, and social participation.
