As in the last few years, the MTG has an active participation in a number of activities at Sonar Festival in Barcelona. For this year’s edition, that will be held from June 13^th to 15^th, 2013 at Fira de Montjuïc, the MTG will drive several activities in the frame of the Sonar+D section, having a more relevant presence than in previous editions.

MTG ACTIVITIES AT SONAR FESTIVAL:

Music Hack Day (MHD) – Thursday, June 13^th at 9AM to Friday 14^th at 6PM: This edition of  MHD presents a special Neuro track (N+MHD) which aims at developing new applications interfacing music with the brain and other physiological signals. During the event, 24 amazing technologies (like Google glasses among others) will be presented and made available for 100 hackers. This MHD will happen thanks to the goodwill of 15 tech companies that are sponsoring the event.
