There was this wierd 'tented' area in centeroo - with these cacoon looking hammock thingies where you got put in and zipped up and then something happened inside..looked fucking scary to me!!! but i was wondering if anyone tried it ;D ?
I saw that as well. I wanted to try it but there was always a line. I know they made you wear headphones and some funky glasses. I decided after I was drunk one night that it was a digital acid trip.
dude let me do it for like 5 seconds just to try it out, it was like 5 bucks for 10 minutes. youu but headphones on that played this weird slow electronica type music and put goggles on that had four flashing lights. it was supposed to put you into a hightened state of awareness. it was pretty cool, i planned on doing it for longer but never got around to it.
I guess the idea was that it lowered your brainwaves to alpha level - the level of sleep or deep medatation - and that was supposed to re-energize you, like taking a 2 hour nap in 10 to 15 minutes.
I wanted to try it out but never got around to it as well.
I didn't see those but I don't know if I'd like it. I am a little bit clausterphobic.
sometimes the long lines to get into centeroo gave me the panicy feeling but I calmed myself by thinking about how excited I was to get in an see everything. and sometimes fanning the map in my face helped.

I actually tried it on Sunday, there was no wait or anything, I just paid 5 bucks and in the hammock I went. Inside the hammock, you put on these noise-cancelling headphones and these sunglasses that flash bright white lights in random patterns. (So, you have to keep your eyes closed.)
While in the hammock, the headphones emited these really strange, low, vibrating frequencies. If I remember, the woman who ran it said the point of it was to help control your brain frequencies and reduce them to a lower level? (Basically, to calm and relax your mind.)
The glasses were a different story - with my eyes closed and with the lights flashing very rapidly (I forgot to mention, they recommended anyone who is prone to seizures cannot do this, plus I had to sign a waiver before entering the hammock.) . In all honesty, (and not to be lame-sounding) it produced some crazy visuals - not like seeing "things", but more like patterns, and weird effects like on Windows Media Player.

It was cool, I gotta admit.
but did you feel refreshed as if you had a two hour nap?

Definitely not. I was more weirded out, and then I wanted to listen to mellower music.
Two of our friends within our group did this thing. They said that they were asked to sign a waiver before going in, which would immediately have been a red flag for me. Sorry, but anything requiring me to sign a waiver at anything but a doctor's office is off limits for me! The way they described it was this... You lay in the coccoon thing, and music is played through the ear phones. The goggles that you put on project laser images THROUGH your eyelids that correspond to the music, much like a winamp visualization thing. If you open your eyes during the process, it could severely damage your vision.
