Student Develops Neural Visuals For Music
Mariano Salcedo, an MIT master's student in the inaugural Music Technology and Computation program, develops neural cellular automata that generate music-driven, regenerative visuals and built a web interface for live performances. He presented the research, "Artificial Dancing Intelligence," at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence conference in January 2026, and holds the Alex Rigopulos fellowship supporting interdisciplinary music-technology work.
