RUMINATE

The Muse is a brain sensing headband that measures brain signals much like a heart rate monitor senses your heartbeat. Ruminate was created and designed around the capabilities of the Muse software. We created a desktop game that soley uses the Muse as the console. The data that the Muse provides about the user's brainwaves trigures actions within the interface. This gives the user's brainwaves control over the game.
