The CoWave project pioneers a new design method. Using EEG scans and AI, it creates customizable 3D acoustic panels influenced by brainwaves. The goal is to revolutionise sustainable design, offering panels that can be reused or recycled.

The first 3D-printed acoustic panel based on emotional brain reactions.

CoWave is a cutting-edge design project combining neuroscience and artificial intelligence to produce personalized 3D acoustic panels. Using EEG technology, CoWave captures users' brainwave responses to visual stimuli. These responses are then converted into AI-generated cues, which guide the creation of unique shapes for the acoustic panels. This innovative process not only expands the traditional role of the designer by integrating human cognitive reactions into the design but also embodies a forward-thinking approach to sustainable production.

The main goal of CoWave is to transform the design and manufacturing process by introducing customizable and environmentally responsible acoustic panels. The panels, crafted from recyclable materials, prioritize sustainability, ensuring they can be reused or recycled, minimizing waste and promoting a circular economy.

By introducing a new business model where high-performance acoustic solutions can be tailored to individual preferences, CoWave paves the way for a future in which design is personalized and sustainable, pushing the boundaries of what technology and human creativity can accomplish together.
