KAMRAN FALLAHPOUR
Dr. Kamran Fallahpour is a clinical psychologist, neuroscientist and music composer, who integrates neuroscience and psychoacoustics to create music that influences brain and nervous system activity. He coined the term “Neural Responsive Music” to describe music that adapts in real-time based on brain activity and physiological data. Using his expertise in qEEG, brain-computer interfaces and music production, he composes original pieces designed to drive the brain into desired states, supporting mental health and well-being. His work and immersive live performances explore how music can shape cognitive and emotional states.
