Overview
Inspired by the octopus’s complex nervous system, this project explores how human emotions and decisions change during emergencies. I have designed an octopus-inspired EEG wearable that uses EEG sensors to capture real-time brain signals and translates them into movement and visuals through soft robotic tentacles and a magnetic fluid system.
Built with Arduino-based electronics, servo motors, and real-time visual projection, the device converts emotional data into biomimetic motion (the movement of the tentacles) and dynamic visuals, creating a physical representation of internal emotional states and crisis responses.
