The Eighth Dimension: Where the Mind Meets the Ocean at usagi – Brooklyn, NY

The Eighth Dimension – Where the Minds Meet the Ocean is a meditative immersive experience that submerges you in an underwater dimension built from the brainwaves of those who visit it. Filled with intricate paper-cut sculptures, floor-to-ceiling projection mapping, and an everchanging soundscape, you will experience the ocean surge or calm around you as you meditate. All of this is made possible by wireless EEG headbands, whose live data dynamically influences the environment around each participant. At the end of their experience, participants can tap their phone to receive a message personalized by their brainwaves, and a reading and explanation of their brainwave activity during the experience.
