Guest Profile
Eduardo Reck Miranda is a composer and Professor in Computer Music at the University of Plymouth (UK), where he runs the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR). His research explores music, computing, AI, and emerging technologies, including quantum computing and music neurotechnology. He has worked with AI in music since the 1980s, completed a doctoral dissertation on AI and music at the University of Edinburgh, and has continued to pioneer new forms of musical expression combining computation and human creativity. He has also led internationally recognized work in brain-computer music interfacing, including projects that use brain signals to enable music-making for people with severe motor impairments. His work has attracted international media attention, including coverage by Forbes, the BBC, and CNN, and he continues to expand the boundaries between technology and artistic expression.
