Brain Wave Games

The Concept

As an artist, I began the study of a brain to computer interface (BCI) in 1992. This study has led me to a long-term study and experimentation with neurofeedback. In conjunction with this work, I have also pursued the study of alternative healing methods intended to enhance what is now referred to as wellbeing. Having learned the power the mind has to influence our overall health, I began to pursue the idea of using my art skills to create art that provides stress relief for individuals with ASD, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and a number of other stressful mental conditions. I plan to do this by creating a brain wave game for the computer that requires a person to achieve game goals by spending sustained time in predominantly theta (low frequency) brain wave states.
