This cube is a cultural art object. It is of value as an art object and serves to educate the population in the field of contemporary art.

The main mission of this object is to enable a person to express all their accumulated emotions, to cope with anxiety, panic attacks, depression through art and sound therapy, which takes place due to immersion in virtual reality using VR glasses. The therapeutic effect of this object is achieved through the three functions of this space:

1) A space for solitude from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, where a person can go through an art and sound therapy session on himself, creating his own reality in VR glasses and a special meditative playlist that immerses you in a peaceful state.

Each person can choose a virtual canvas through the iPad and put on VR glasses to draw all their emotions that he couldn’t express in real life because of different reasons. He can draw pain, fear, anger, doubts, manifest everything that he hid inside himself through a virtual drawing program. At this time, special meditative music will be played in the headphones, specially written according to the methods of sound therapy and used such instruments as the bell ringing and the ringing beat, which are able to relieve a person from a stressful state, help to quickly undergo psychotherapeutic rehabilitation, and sooner return to normal life after extreme nervous shocks. The sound of the bell helps a person to create inner rhythm, to find harmony.

Also, in the special playlist we use the resonance frequency therapy technique and the acoustic capture technique. Resonant Frequency Therapy is based on the idea that every part of our body vibrates at a specific resonant frequency. If the balance is disturbed in it and the frequency changes, then the treatment occurs by restoring this resonant frequency. Based on this method, kimatic therapy (kimatherapy) has been developed, which uses five different tones. The acoustic capture technique is based on the use of asynchronous frequencies to initiate acoustic capture. We use binaural instruments such as Peruvian whistling vessels and Tibetan singing bowls to create therapeutic meditation music. Conditions worth working with in this case are learning disabilities, depression, stress. Research has shown that sound therapy is often used in hospitals and hospices to relieve pain and tension. Also, this method can correct all kinds of emotional changes.

2) The second direction in art therapy that we offer is the ability to write out all your emotions, write a letter to another person with whom you are afraid to talk in real life, overcome fear and admit all his feelings. This can be a letter to a person who is no longer alive or to someone with whom your paths parted, but there are still unspoken feelings. A person draws or writes with a stylus in an Ipad put on VR glasses to the accompaniment of meditative music written specifically for this project. In the drawing program there is a color range for choosing a specific color, a set of objects for drawing (brushes, pencils, pens), as well as a choice of paints. A person creates a drawing of his emotions in real time. These can be not only negative emotions, but also positive emotions that he wants to share with someone with whom there is no opportunity to meet in real life (distant relatives, a husband who serves in the army, a child in an exchange school in another country). This picture or letter can be received by email after the session is over.

3) The ability to simulate a real person in virtual reality and have a conversation with him in real time. Every person have an opportunity mention in the application for an art therapy session in Mental Booth, that he would like to choose the function to talk to person that you are not available to see in real life. A person enters through the website into the system of building a virtual character and selects his external data from the proposed variations. You can make it looks like your father or wife that are not with you anymore. When the character is created, the person chooses the "upload to server" function and the character is automatically uploaded to the VR glasses system. When he gets to his session in Mental Booth, he can talk, hug this character in virtual reality through the projection in VR glasses.

This technology is used by psychologists in working with patients and is called transference, where the patient talks with the psychologist as with the person he represents. Here there will be an opportunity not only to imagine, see, express, talk with your character, but also interact with him tactilely. The main focus of this space is to allow a person to create their own reality and experience their emotions in it. Sound therapy allows a person to reduce anxiety and tune in with their biorhythms.

SOUND THERAPY IN THE MENTAL BOOTH SPACE

The playlist for a session of immersion in virtual reality through sound therapy was created on the basis of a mix of various sound therapy techniques, which has absorbed the methods and the latest research of physicists, neurophysiologists, and psychiatrists. Music with golden ratio beats and bells is therapeutic relaxing music that acts on the energy centers of a person and provides resonance.

The method makes it possible to increase the efficiency of restoring the working capacity of the human body by relieving psychophysiological stress, neutralizing fears and panic states, removing it from a state of stress or depression, or by neutralizing psychosomatic conditions, relieving fatigue syndrome, improving the ability to learn and normalizing physiological processes in the body due to simultaneous sound impact on each ear through headphones. As a result, an effect is created on the patient with high and low frequencies, each of which resonates with a certain energy center of a person. The sound is simultaneously delivered in such a way that it affects the left and right ears equally.

The development of this therapeutic playlist became possible due to the research of the Doctor of Biological Sciences, the head of the LDL laboratory at the St. V.M. Bekhterev professor Valery Borisovich Slezin.

Before the research of Professor Slezin, science knew three states of human consciousness: wakefulness, slow and REM sleep. The difference between these states is due to the nature of the electrical impulses in the cerebral cortex. Now another condition has become known - a complete shutdown of the activity of the cerebral cortex with full consciousness. In this state, the cerebral cortex slows down so much that the perception of information by a person goes bypassing thought processes and analysis, while pathological connections between neurons are destroyed, a person relaxes and, most importantly, he gets rid of the fear of a disease! This condition is observed in newborn babies where the primary frequency of the delta rhythm is in the range of 2-3 Hz.

In an article by Dr. Gerald Oster (Sinai Medical Center, October 1973, Scientific American), the process of the emergence of binaural rhythms (beats) of the brain was described, which, in turn, were discovered in 1839 by the German researcher G.W. Dove. The bottom line is to reduce the frequency of the brain to 3 Hz, it is enough to put on headphones, where a signal is sent to different ears with a difference of 3 Hz. cm.

The American Monroe Institute has long been patented and widely used in medicine HemiSync technology. This technology is based on the achievement of different brain states (alpha and beta rhythms) when listening to sound with shifted frequencies in headphones for the emergence of binaural rhythms. But this technology does not use delta rhythms, nor does the sound affect the whole body. To solve this problem, experiments were carried out and special therapeutic beats of the golden section were developed, which, in terms of sound power, are comparable to traditional beats, but have a wider sound spectrum and, in terms of the number of overtones, are comparable to the Tibetan beats.
