ART21 (Artists Resistance Techno) is an artistic guerrilla on a system that oppresses us.
This unique music collective gathered around the imprint includes some prolific underground names such as Vortex Count, Translate, Pulso, Aural Research, Droneghost, David Bowman, Animatek, and many more.
Now ART21 has a new release created with the goal to raise awareness of certain diseases, and the name of the compiled release is Neurotwin.
In the fight against Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, schizophrenia and other diseases characterized by an imbalance in neuronal activity, there are chemical weapons, such as those that try to prevent the protein fragments known as beta-amyloid plaques from developing in the cerebral cortex , and physical, such as electrical stimulation that allow to restore the functionality of brain cells. This last resort, which has already been shown to be effective in modifying the activity of the cerebral cortex, is today a weapon of general intervention. Converting it to precision requires the development of individualized and predictive brain models that allow identifying where and how much to stimulate each patient. To achieve this, an international European team is working on the creation of virtual replicas of the most unknown organ in the body: the Neurotwin project.
You can pre-order and listen to the release HERE.
According to recent research, the decrease in power in the neuronal oscillations of the gamma band of the cerebral cortex (a pattern whose frequency ranges between 20 and 50 Hertz) favors the development of protein fragments related to Alzheimer’s.
Transcranial application of weak electrical currents has proven to be an effective and painless way to modulate brain activity without side effects.
The objective is to create complete computational models of the brain with real data of living beings (human patients) and that allow to anticipate and specify the effects of non-invasive stimulation techniques on neurological mechanisms.
The release is out on July 19, 2021. Grab your copy of Neurotwin on Bandcamp.
