When we decided to do a workshop on building Brain Machines, we went right to the source: Mitch Altman, inventor of the Brain Machine, TV-B-Gone, and all-around hacker, inventor, and fun guy.

Join us for a workshop on building your own cool-looking "Brain Machine"-- Microcontroller/LED-based goggles that produce pulsating sounds and light that ease your brain through various states of meditation, beautiful hallucinations, and other pleasurable sensations. Safely synch your brain through a relaxing trip, and back again! Then take your new creation home and share it with your friends for hours of intriguing fun.

The class costs $40 and includes everything, but if more than 12 people show up it'll cost only $25 (about the cost of the parts.) So if you sign up for $40 and we fill the class, you'll walk away with a Brain Machine and $15, plus the satisfaction that you've built something really cool...
