Hello, my name is Stephen Whitmarsh.

I head the Data Analysis Core facility of the Paris Brain Institute (ICM), which provides bioinformatics support in analysing and managing neuroscience data. I advocate and support open science practices, from policy to implementation, and maintain the Open Neuroscience graph.

Since 2009, I am working on interdisciplinary art research, within the research collective OuUnPo, the art organization Vision Forum, the research collective 1+1=3, and the EEGsynth association, wherein we develop multisensory neurofeedback performances and produce contemporary sound experiments and workshops. We develop an open-source platform for brain-computer-interfaces, and organize art, science and sci-art events. From 2021-2026 I was the scientific coordinator of an ANR-funded collaboration with MSH Paris Nord, Université Paris 8, CICM/MUSIDANSE, Soixante circuits, and Goldsmiths University of London, called the Brain Body Digital Music Instrument, in which we develop open-source software and hardware for sound synthesis and musical composition using neuroelectric signals (EEG, EMG).
