I have no idea of what to call it but, here is my social sensory detector. A necklace to be worn that detects all your emotions ie: anxious, happy, sad, scared etc. When those emotions erupt, it triggers the headphones that play appropriate music. ![20231115_125446](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/f/faf30803b43ec346981645812ea9fecd84a8516c.jpeg) ![20231115_125657](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/b/b48e8cab4b74198fe6770f08d4ed0841a7478bf9.jpeg) ---

@Lesa_Cole I could totally see this being someone’s research project! I’m wondering what mood the music will move the wearer towards. Like, sometimes I would want to watch a very sad movie to have a good cry. Or maybe I wanna be pumped up to be ready to take on something I’ve been procrastinating. I would totally wear this necklace and headphones combo! ---

Hi! I imagined a way to visually self-monitor how agitated or stressed I was getting. Since I tend to jiggle my leg or tap my fingers or otherwise move body parts, I thought about a wearable that would be within my eyesight and that would easily move about. This way, I would be able to get up and move around or find another way to manage my emotions. I initially envisioned either a super fancy elongated bracelet thing or a strip that could be easily attached to a shirt sleeve. It would have long quivery somethings coming off of it that would easily shiver at the slightest movement. I had feathers and paper and blue camo duct tape, so I did what I could… ![holiday invisible self love](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/2/21d35a6055d94dc58ca9a19c2a691b67bbcba45a.jpeg) ![holiday invisible self love 2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/9/91f3c55329dcd5b9feda4bc0907d042ff032a1a1.jpeg) Definitely my vision had the feather part standing taller and way less pink. 🙂 ---
