TheDJBrain is a research, book, coaching and app development project that explores the intersection between the virtues of DJing (i.e. the selection and mixing of music) and the positive psychology concept of "Flow" as defined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Using cutting-edge neuroscience, TheDJBrain explores how DJing is capable of creating compelling flow experiences that have a positive impact on the creative brain.
In detail:
The Research
