Generative visual tool for entering "flowing" state of mind (recording of live session).

Emotiv Epoc headset was used for EEG realtime scan of the spectator, while observing generated visuals on the screen. When beta rhythm was dominating in spectator's EEG (normal/alert state), hypnotic opart pattern with dynamics correlating to beta intensity was shown, which led to more "dreamy" state (more alpha rhythm). When alpha started to dominate over beta, pattern was interrupted by some generic 3D visuals to break that hypno state and get back to normal; and so on.
