BRAINIAC

Brainiac is a high-performance cognitive intelligence platform that bridges neuroscience and generative AI to visualize and optimize mental performance.

Project Overview:

Neural Mapping: Translates 30-factor psychometric data into interactive 3D anatomical models.

Cognitive Profiling: Evaluates executive function, emotional regulation, and attention spans.

AI Coaching: Leverages LLMs to generate personalized neural optimization protocols.

Cinematic UX: High-fidelity "glassmorphism" interface for immersive data storytelling.

Tech Stack:

Frontend: React 19, Three.js, @react-three/fiber (3D rendering), React Router v6.

Backend: Node.js, Express (Decoupled proxy architecture).

AI/ML: Meta Llama 3 8B Instruct, Hugging Face Inference API.

Assets: GLTF/GLB 3D models, SVG fluid dynamics, Custom Variable CSS systems.

Key Learnings:

3D State Synchronization: Mapping flat JSON survey scores to specific 3D mesh coordinates in real-time.

AI Prompt Engineering: Structuring system instructions to ensure Llama 3 provides medically-grounded yet actionable advice.

Performance Optimization: Efficiently loading and caching large .glb assets using useGLTF to prevent UI jank.

Decoupled Logic: Building a stateless backend proxy to manage secure API handshakes without bloat.
