A newcomer to the CMU new media scene, the Brainwave has as of January 2007 not achieved campus notoriety, but is slated to become a hit with the denizens of its general area.
Located in Wean 4's central restrooms, the Brainwave inspires and perplexes its admirers with a sleek chrome visage and numerous colorful LEDs adorning its surface.
