Practicing mindfulness with sustained attention is difficult, especially for beginners. The proposed system, FractalBrain, combines a surreal virtual reality program with an electroencephalogram interface. While users view an ever-changing fractal-inspired artwork in an immersive environment, their EEG stream is analyzed and mapped into VR, adaptively manipulating audiovisual parameters in real time to generate a distinct experience for each user. Pilot feedback suggests the potential of FractalBrain to facilitate mindfulness and enhance attention.
