Within the knit fabric structure, 3D printed neuron-like globules are embedded with Sensoree therapeutic bio.media – a colorful display mapping what she is thinking.
The design team worked with the Emotiv Epoc EEG brain sensor. It has 14 points that monitor brain waves, so they created 14 3D printed, synapse like light points called globules. The location and colors respond to brain state; Delta or deep sleep is red, Theta state or meditation is orange, Alpha is teal green, Beta or consciousness is blue, and Gamma is multi sensory brain state, so it is blue, purple, and red.
