Braindetector

With the Brain Detector the visitor can sneak a peek at what could be going on underneath his scull. He can put a water kettle on his head, with wires everywhere and a light bulb in the spout.
With the Brain Detector the visitor can sneak a peek at what could be going on underneath his scull. He can put a water kettle on his head, with wires everywhere and a light bulb in the spout. In front of him there is a switch that chooses between some of history's great thinkers. Each of these have a theory about what is going on inside the brain. With the switch the user can determine with whose eyes he can look inside his own brain. He sees a mirror image of himself, but on the spot where the forehead should be he sees an animation showing the thinker's view. By doing small tasks, the visitor can influence the animation using his brainactivity.
