What you'll do
This is a CovidSafe experience registered with the NSW Government. Non-family or friendship guests will need to socially distance by at least 1.5m.
You'll venture inside your brain with me - Phil Dye (the brain guy) using a range of safe, high-tech electroencephalograph (EEG) headsets. You'll see your neurons firing in real time and learn what makes you different or similar to others.
You'll then play a game using only your mind to control the characters and compete against your friend or another guest. It's fascinating and lots of fun.
Switch headsets to get a different view of your brain and check how well you can lower the amount of electricity your brain produces - the key to successful meditation.
You can also pick my brain while enjoying the surroundings of the beautiful Oxford Hotel in Drummoyne. I'll buy you snacks (pizza etc) yet you'll buy your own drinks.
The experience will be 2 hours for up to 4 guests yet 2.5 hours for a group of 5 or 6 family or friends.
Other things to note
In these days of Covid-19 precautions, you MUST bring your own facemask although hand sanitiser is supplied
*** An EEG WILL NOT work through a wig or dreadlocks
** Please be at the venue 5 minutes before start time.
* Bring a hair-tie if you have long hair

My partner and I had an awesome time with Phil on this experience. He's very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Very fun way to spend a Monday night, would recommend to anyone with an interest in learning more about how their brain works.

A really fun thing to do with family and friends. I’d recommend going in a group of 6. You get to learn things about people you wouldn’t otherwise (like how chill they really are!). Phil makes it interesting and accessible. Having a drink and light meal together was a really nice touch.
