Portrait
A closed-loop Python system that monitors real-time brain activity via a Muse 2 headband. By computing the Theta/Beta Ratio (TBR), the script detects when attention drops (TBR > 2.5) and dynamically fades in focus-recovery music. Once the wearer is focused again, the music gracefully fades out.
