React components for building mind-machines for web and Google Cardboard. Still under active development. Inspired from the code found at https://github.com/chrisallenlane/mind-machine.
WARNING: This application may potentially trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
A mind machine (aka brain machine or light and sound machine) uses pulsing rhythmic sound, flashing light, electrical or magnetic fields, or a combination of these, to alter the frequency of the user's brainwaves. Mind machines can induce deep states of relaxation, concentration, and in some cases altered states of consciousness, which have been compared to those obtained from meditation and shamanic exploration. Photic mind machines work with flickering lights embedded in sunglasses.
More information on building mind machines can be found in this article from Make Magazine.

Rapidly flashing lights may be dangerous for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other nervous disorders. It is thought that one out of 10,000 adults will experience a seizure while viewing such a device; about twice as many children will have a similar ill effect.
