About NeuroLight

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.

Who We Are

Our team includes neuroscientists, neuromodulation experts, and medical device veterans who are passionate about improving lives.

Alex Poltorak is a scientist, serial inventor, founder, and entrepreneur with multiple exits via acquisition and IPO. He was trained as a theoretical physicist, and has had professorships at Cornell University Medical College, Touro College, and the City College of New York (CUNY). His journey in neuroscience began when he served as the assistant professor of biomathematics at the neurology departments of Cornell University Medical College. He is now focusing on brain research in general and neuromodulation in particular
