A voxel modeler where gaze chooses the tool and focus drives creation.

NeuroCreate asks a simple question: can you model just by paying attention? The prototype wired a headset brain input to a Unity modeling interface through a Grasshopper bridge, so focus could drive geometry directly.

The command set is deliberately small: place, clear, delete, move in X/Y/Z, switch direction. A short vocabulary keeps the tool usable for beginners and for people who can't work a mouse and keyboard.

The output is voxel-based on purpose, so focus shows up as visible growth. Height and width track attention level, so concentration reads directly in the form.
