Electrocardiophone used during a live performance
An
electrocardiophone
and
cardiophone
is a musical instrument or diagnostic tool
[1]
which uses
heart waves
(measured in the same way as an
ECG
) to generate or modulate sounds.
James Fung
,
Ariel Garten
, and
Steve Mann
(~2003) have created a wide variety of underwater biophone systems that use physiological signals to control different musical variables in an intricate way, as well as to actually generate sounds, including underwater ECG and EEG concerts.
[2]
The electrocardiophone is a
quintephone
in the sense that it creates sound from the "5th classical element" (i.e. from beyond the world of matter).

The electrocardiophone is related to the
electroencephalophone
. In addition to sound-production, regenerative brainwave musical performances use brainwave interfaces to modify or manipulate or play along with sounds of other instruments in a live performance context.
