Ryan, Emily, and Renate - Revised Concept

So, our group has had much discussion about our project and we are certain about everything regarding the hacking of the mindflex and such, but couldn't really hone down what it was we wanted to DO with the data readout we were getting. After dropping the puppetry idea we began to widen our horizons and think about other things we could do with the brainwave data and we all got really pumped about THIS:

Essentially we want to use the brainwave data (which in the display is a bunch of levels that moves up and down like this)


Watching the levels rise and fall made us think about relating it to a physical object that also rises and falls.
We want to attach a Helium filled balloon with a string to a motor. The motor is controlled by the data read out we get from the mindflex. if the levels are going up, the motor spins one way and releases the string, letting the balloon rise, and if the levels go down the motor spins the opposite way and the balloon rises.

the goal here is that the balloon eventually rises to a point where it cannot go any higher, and a nail at the top of the wall will pop it when it reaches a certain hight. We want to have whomever is controlling the mindflex write a word on the balloon that represents something that troubles them- when the balloon pops, and as a reward for their concentration, their troubles will literally "float" away until the seise to exist.

Sorry, my scanner was not working so the quality is poor, I will re-upload later
