Project 5. The Flower of Brain: EEG Visualization of psychological flow

Design Background

The flow experience is a psychological state in which people are highly immersed in a challenging task, feeling pleasure and a distorted sense of time. For example, you immerse yourself in sports competition, art creation, study, video games, and other activities you enjoy, losing time perception and self-awareness, and forgetting all about the outside world. Based on the neural representation of psychological flow, the project creatively designs a game that uses flow index to control the growth phase of flowers. We try to promote people's understanding of the concept of psychological flow through such a visual representation, and more importantly, we hope to increase everyone's flow experience in daily life.
