The Mobile Transcendence Device aims to provide a state of mind which is typically only experienced by avid meditators. Through the use of flashing LEDs and vibrating headphones, the device influences the participant’s brainwaves, encouraging the brain to shift to the Theta state which is associated with the “transcendent peaks” of meditation.
