Our initial non-invasive study, **N = 33**, brings physiology, audience experience and musical structure together to validate the research approach and establish the case for mRNA sequencing investment.\n\nThese graphics are visual mockups of a real **Universal Informatics Music Atlas Python script**: custom software Ben Korbel is developing with Gemini to measure and unify these metrics together as one. Implementation is in progress.\n\n#### Brain & autonomic response\n\nEEG from Muse S Athena, galvanic skin response (GSR / EDA), heart-rate variability, **HRV power spectral density (PSD)** and baroreflex sensitivity. Brain-state analysis brings amplitude and phase–amplitude coupling onto the shared timeline.\n\n#### Optical signals & inference\n\nA 400-channel laboratory hyperspectral analysis and smartphone-grade RGB analysis reconstructed into 31 spectral bands. Inferred oxytocin is an exploratory model output created by Immersion Neuroscience via research with DARPA. Explore [Immersion Neuroscience ↗](https://www.getimmersion.com/) and [SIX ↗](https://www.your6.com/).\n\n#### Audience & musical structure\n\nContinuous audience feedback and a participant peak-moment trigger, aligned with real-time song analysis: position within a **64-bar sequence**, melodic anticipation and resolution, chords, arpeggios, and Fibonacci / Pisano landmarks.\n\n01 · Unified measurement timeline\nThe landscape overview brings the streams together, from EEG at the top to Fibonacci coding at the bottom.\n\n02 · Brain state, amplitude & coupling\nBrain state, amplitude and coupling alongside audience peaks, cardiovascular features and spectral imaging.\n\n03 · A peak moment across the streams\nThe vertical view begins with EEG and aligns the measurement streams around an audience-reported peak moment.\n\nNEXT STAGE · mRNA SEQUENCING\n\n#### Validating the investment for stakeholders\n\nFollowing validation of the research approach through the **N = 33** non-invasive study, we will invest in mRNA sequencing through the [Kinghorn Centre for Clinical Genomics at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research ↗](https://www.garvan.org.au/research/services/genome), from whom we have received a commercial quote.\n\n**mRNA sequencing represents an investment of A$600–A$1,000 per participant.** The initial non-invasive phase establishes the case for that investment for stakeholders. Sequencing will compare OXTR mRNA expression in samples collected before and after the intervention or song.",
