In a Nutshell

My idea is to manipulate frame rate in a way that substantially contributes to
the meaning of video. It is essentially the development of a new cinematic
technique I am developing, not a specific video piece; as such this is a
long term project that will involve a large amount of research and filmmaking,
likely to result in a body of multiple films that will together illustrate the
dimensions of the technique in practice.

Specifically, I am interested in correlating frame rate with the range of human
brain waves observable from EEG recordings, as they are classified in the field
of neuroscience. It is my hypothesis that such a variation of frame rate will
not effect the audience only on a conscious level, but also has the potential to
directly influence the rate of a viewer's brain waves, via the process of photic
driving, a subset of a phenomenon called entrainment.

I hope this summary is a convenient introduction for anyone who might be interested in my idea but would otherwise get lost in all the text.
