Helping people achieve optimal brain states — on-demand.
NeuroLight offers a groundbreaking approach to neuromodulation and brain entrainment to improve sleep and achieve optimal brain states. Building on Crick and Koch’s hypothesis that “every mental state is expressed in neural correlates,” we further hypothesized that inducing brain states’ neural correlates can induce the desired mental state. To this end, we record brainwave activity that occurs during a desired state, and induce this activity in another (or the same subject at a different time) to replicate the desired mental state. We do this via neuromodulation using light and sound.
With this technology and approach, we envision a world where anyone can realize desired brain states on-demand in order to improve their health and optimize performance.
