Mindful Makers Hack #10 - EEG Hack with AWEAR
🧘♀️ Mindful Makers Hack #10 - EEG Hack with AWEAR
JOIN US on Saturday, 4/11 for Mindful Maker's EEG Hack with AWEAR (https://aweartech.com/).
📈 There is a growing recognition that seeing our own metrics can be a powerful motivator for self-care.
🧘 When it comes to biofeedback for the mind however, we're still at same place we were 2000 years ago, unless we want to walk around wearing electrode helmets.
AWEAR is changing this: a small wearable that tucks discretely behind your ear, delivering continuous EEG biofeedback insights into your mind, delivering concentration, stress, and other brain metrics throughout the day.
JOIN us at MIT on Saturday to play around with this amazing technology at Mindful Makers Hackathon #10 with AWEAR, thanks to Mavi Ruiz Blondet, PhD and the AWEAR team.
There is a chance to demo your work at the upcoming The Conscious Future Society Conference (https://theconsciousfuturesociety.com/) with top mindfulness/meditation researchers and public figures.
We'll spend the day designing and building apps, websites, and tools that promote mindfulness in everyday life. Our belief is simple: technology can deepen presence, connection, and well-being.
To test our creations, we'll use them ourselves in the days that follow — and see if they truly cultivate ease, warmth, spaciousness, generosity, and connection.
💡 Who Should Join
Meditators: Some experience with meditation is encouraged (occasional dabblers are welcome!).
Non-coders welcome: You don't need to be a programmer — we'll keep a balanced ratio of coders to non-coders (~1:1) so everyone can contribute meaningfully (laptop required). Just be prepared to learn how to build with AI, and potentially sign up for free trails of AI coding tools.
🌐 See: mindfulmakers.xyz for more details.
