兩位歐洲設計師 Dries VerbruggenLucas Maassen 最近對 神經反饋 的想法著迷,在這種反饋中,患者(例如,患有注意力缺陷多動障礙的人)在影片螢幕上觀察自己 腦電波,並嘗試透過精神努力來改變其震盪。

連線到頭部的電極傳輸神經活動模式,這些模式可以名義上被改變,以產生集中的注意力、平靜的心態或其他精神狀態。 然而,神經反饋是否是一種有效的治療方法,仍然是一個懸而未決的問題。

但是,即使它只是一種稍微更動態的顱相學形式,你頭部內部的振盪訊號對某些人來說也具有不可否認的吸引力。 對於 Verbruggen 和 Maassen 來說,α 波的起伏為他們的設計工作提供了靈感,最終產生了一件傢俱,即腦波沙發。
