ABSTRACT:

As a rising concern impacting the younger population, we have come to acknowledge thesignificance of anxiety in affecting an individual's daily life. Anxiety disorder typically inducesan individual into an excessive state of fear, nervousness, and worry upon being in various socialinteractions and situations[5]. Yet how can one express their feelings when reluctant tocommunicate for fear of being judged negatively or stigmatised? To help individuals expressthemselves, our group has conducted a study with “I Am_”, an installation that detects andvisualises brain waves by detecting a participant's meditation and attention levels. Throughoutthe process, we observed the participants’ stress levels by visualising brain waves and remarkedtheir reactions. Through this research, our group aims to visualise an individual’s emotionalfluctuations while simultaneously acting as a communication bridge for the individual andpeople around them to recognise their stress. The installation intends to help the individualconvey their emotions from symbolic to physical and provides a journey of self-discovery.

作為影響年輕族群日益增長的問題，我們已經認識到焦慮對個人日常生活影響的重要性。焦慮症通常會導致個體在各種社交互動和場合中陷入過度恐懼、緊張和擔憂的狀態。然而，如果人們因為害怕受到負面評價或污名而不願意交流，他們該如何表達自己的感受呢？為了幫助個人表達自己，我們的團隊對「I Am_」進行了一項研究，這是一個透過檢測參與者的冥想和注意力水平來檢測和可視化腦電波的裝置。在整個過程中，我們透過視覺化腦波觀察參與者的壓力程度並記錄他們的反應。透過這項研究，我們小組的目標是將個人的情緒波動視覺化，同時充當個人和周圍人們認識其壓力的溝通橋樑。該裝置旨在幫助個人將他們的情感從象徵性轉化為實際性，並提供自我發現的旅程。
