That's the main reference work of my work THE STAGE, the idea of how people interact with EEG device and the inner logic of the technology system is the reflection of the topic of the work itself.

machine_in_the_middle reworks a Man (or Machine) in the Middle cyber attack, using EEG brainwave sensing, emotion recognition and facial muscle stimulation, made with World Snooker Champion Steve Davis.
A 3D printed Brain Computer Interface headset streams Davis’ EEG (brainwaves) to a Machine Learning model that detects his emotional state, and uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to animate his facial expression.
Usually a Man (or Machine) in the Middle attack involves an attacker who secretly intercepts the electronic communication between two parties. In this case the two parties are the brain and the body of a single person, Steve Davis, and the Machine in the Middle, is the system controlling the communication between Davis' brain and his facial expression.
