technology to look inside your brain at what actually happens when you exercise, play, work, relax or sleep. The electroencephalograph (EEG) technology you’ll use is 100% safe. You’ll not only see what is happening inside your brain, but play a game using your thoughts to control the gaming characters. You’ll also check your meditation skills! It’s a unique and fun experience that before Covid-19, was one of the top 5 experiences in Sydney rated by AirBnB.
