Daito Manabe, a Japanese artist and programmer suffers for his art in his latest project: the catchily named "electric stimulus to face - test 3". Via a range of strategically placed electrodes, Manabe's face is made to twitch in time with one of his own digital compositions. While admiring the captivating effects this produces, it does you a slightly itchy nose and we in no way recommend trying to have a go yourself. (Link: Andrew Sullivan).

The movements look to fluid and digitised (check the mouth out) to be real time. I'd love to believe but it just too impossible.
Still 9/10 though :)

Wow! How ace is this? I like it when he starts to smile through it in the middle.

I suspect a little digial enhancing might have taken place but I reckon 90% was for real.

Brilliant.

The expressions seems inconsistent at times with the same repeated bits of audio which makes me thinks its fake. Nevertheless, very amusing. He looked close to cracking up with laughter himself at times also :)
