March+6

Our group had a short meeting and we finalized that we would like to work on the drowning simulation.

To do this, we plan on having visitors walk through a tight and narrow tunnel to increase the claustrophobic feeling. It will be dark blue and water will cascade down the walls, with sounds of water crashing (waves) to mimic the scenario of drowning. We were thinking of having a shark swim towards the visitor as well (digitally, of course). Before the people enter the tunnel, we will have them to a task of some sort, perhaps untying a knot or something. Then, throughout the course of them walking through the tunnel and experiencing an increased pulse, fear, and adrenaline rush, we will have them __complete__ other tasks such as solving word problems, untying the same knot, so that we can see if an adrenaline rush can actually help humans have a quicker reaction time and think clearer.

The details are not set in stone, and will be determined in the future.

A proposal is being drawn up for tomorrow's deadline.

Reminder: meeting with Maria tomorrow during homeroom.
