Abstract
An affective brain-computer music interface (aBCMI), developed for use as an aid to music therapy, is trialled in a case study with an individual withHuntington’s disease. The aBCMI aims to detect a userscurrent affective state and modulate music generated andplayed to that user in order to manipulate their affectivestate in a way that has potential therapeutic benefits. Wehave previously demonstrated the efficacy of this aBCMIon a population of healthy participants but it is unclearwhether it could work with individuals with Huntington’s.Our case study demonstrates that there is some potentialfor aBCMI systems to be used by individuals with Huntington’s disease. However, we also highlight some keychallenges that need to be overcome in adapting aBCMIsystems to this user group. Specifically, we identify aneed for more robust measures of ground truths of affective states to allow the aBCMI to be trained with this usergroup.
