UNDER ONE SUN

Your Feeling Pattern

An optional experiment for a future version.

One day, participants who own a consumer EEG headband, such as a Muse, may choose to connect it during a mindfulness or creative session. A few signal features would gently shape an abstract pattern in colours you pick yourself.

Brain activity is not an emotion label. EEG cannot tell anyone what you feel. The pattern would be a creative input, like a brush that responds to your breathing. Your artwork, and your own words about it, remain the interpretation that matters.

Nobody needs a device to take part in UNDER ONE SUN.

Simulation

This prototype uses synthetic data. No device is connected and nothing is measured. The values below are generated by a random process in your browser to show how the visual could work. Nothing is sent to our server.

Simulated features

Relative band power, as a real adapter would report it. Synthetic values: not measured from anyone.

Before this becomes real

  • A working device adapter, documented in public/js/feeling/adapters.js, tested with real hardware.
  • A separate, explicit opt-in, with a clear explanation of what is recorded. Signal data stays on your device by default.
  • An updated privacy notice and, for any research use, an ethics review and data governance plan.
