"The BeatBack is a new electronic instrument designed by Conor Barry that uses biosensors to generate and affect sounds to create musical performances that place equal emphasis on the human body's outputs rather than focusing on the voice.
The BeatBack is a device that can accompany any musical instrument by taking heart rate and galvanic skin response data, and translating them into varying sonic textures, which the performer can alter through changing their emotional and/or physical state.
