The human mind, a complex web of thoughts and emotions, remains one of the most intriguing mysteries of our existence. "MindScape" ventures into this enigmatic realm by harnessing the power of EEG data to visualize the intricacies of the mind's activity. By correlating breathing patterns with brainwave frequencies, this project seeks to offer a unique window into the subconscious.
MindScape is an interactive art project that translates EEG data into captivating visuals, offering participants a unique exploration of their own mental states through breath control and subtle movements.
An experimental project that utilizes an EEG reader like Muse and the creative coding platform p5.js to investigate the relationship between brainwave frequencies and visual representations, offering a unique exploration of the mind's projection.

The development of MindScape drew upon a variety of resources, including tutorials on EEG data visualization, interactive art installations, and creative coding libraries such as p5.js and Processing. Code snippets and examples were adapted and customized to suit the specific needs of the project, with citations provided in the source code comments.
Narrative Ideas:
"MindScape" delves into the fascinating notion of controlling the mind's currents by mastering the art of breathing. Through this, participants can navigate through a spectrum of visuals ranging from chaotic and intense to serene and tranquil, all governed by subtle movements and breath control.
Objective:
The primary objective of "MindScape" is to experiment with EEG data translation into visual representations. By understanding the thresholds of various brainwave frequencies, the project aims to manipulate these thresholds, offering insights into states of concentration, relaxation, and everything in between.
