This project is based off the Wristify from the MIT students, but rather instead of thermoelectric cooling it will perform thermoelectric heating.  The idea is that by sending pulses of heat at certain time intervals to the wrist, the brain is tricked into thinking the body is warming up when in reality, the temperature at your wrist is only changing a few degrees.  This phenomenon is similar to walking into a sauna.  At first, it appears that the environment is very hot, but then you get used to it and its fine.  What Im trying to accomplish with this project is analogous to walking into the sauna repeatedly at certain time intervals to give the perception that you’re heating up.  So this device will essentially act as a personal air conditioning unit.

I intend to work alone for this project

I am confident in my abilities to design and solder the accommodating circuitry for the project and write the code needed to send the pulses when two buttons are pressed(quite simple).  What I am a bit worried about is making it small enough so that it is actually practical and that people would wear it without interfering with motion. No one wants to walk around with a big cumbersome heatsink attached to their wrist.

Below is a block diagram of how the electronics would be connected
