Description:
What happens in your mind when you act without thinking?
The impulse begins in the brain. Where sensory inputs set off a chain reaction that leads to all sorts of mayhem. Can you slow down triggers?
On the journey meet four people whose lives are at a crossroads. After decades of rash decision making something is about to profoundly change them. A diagnosis.
Impulse is a mixed reality interactive story about the reality of ADHD.
