I am trying to achieve effect as shown in the picture below:
Im using p5.js library but im not a graphics programmer and thats why its very difficult to achieve this particular graphical effect. I am sharing my code with you and also I followed this tutorial.

The variables maroon_data
, blue_data
and yellow_data
are data coming from EEG device which will be calculated later but for now its hard coded values for prototype only. Also booleans gamma_is_high
, beta_is_high
and alpha_is_high
are set to true for now. But with this much effort I only manage to achieve this as shown below:
And the actual output is like this:
Kindly help me get this actual output. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
noise(xoff, yoff, zoff) * TWO_PI * 4
