Adafruit The Brain Machine Kit

Relax and rejuvenate as your brain synchronizes to a meditative state, enjoying hallucinations of beautiful colors and patterns from your subconscious mind. The Brain Machine offers a fun, easy way to meditate, all while being quite photogenic.

The Brain Machine operates with lights and sounds in a 14-minute meditation sequence of brainwave frequencies. As your brain aligns with this sequence, meditation becomes effortless, enhanced by the vivid colors and patterns experienced along the way.

It uses blinking lights, beneficial for most but not suitable for individuals prone to seizures. Building your own Brain Machine enhances technical skills before providing an enjoyable light show experience.

Popular at parties and effective for meditation practice, the Brain Machine Kit provides a unique experience. Note that the latest version, featured in MAKE magazine with Mitch Altman, doesn’t include a serial port.

The Kit includes:

• High-quality Printed Circuit Board
• All necessary electrical components, including a pre-programmed microcontroller
• Over-ear headphones
• Dark-tinted safety glasses fitting both children and adults
• Color printed overlay for added style
• 2 x AAA batteries (lasting for hundreds of uses)

Basic construction tools are not included. Requirements include a soldering iron, cutters, drill, adhesive, and scissors. This project is simple enough to complete in 2-3 hours, even for those without soldering experience. Detailed instructions and additional support are available on the project page.
