The concert will be introduced by Dr Evian Gordon, CEO of the Brain Research Company, where the brain activity data was recorded. The mystery of the identity of the listener and what they were listening to will be revealed at the finale of the concert.

The sonifications were selected by an international committee of sonification researchers, sound designers, computer music composers, visualisation experts, and neuroscientists.
