About
Brain Candy is a VR app based on flicker light stimulation and binaural beats, techniques demonstrated to be effective at altering consciousness.
Impact
FLS devices are very expensive and not very accessible. This app will introduce this unique form of sensory stimulation to a wider audience.
Progress
The app is released in early access on the Meta Quest store. This first version is a very early work in progress to see where further development should go based on feedback.
Team
I have been working with therapeutic tech for 7 years now. I made Cosmic Sugar, Visitations (for ketamine therapy), and collaborated on Luxury Escapism, New York's first digital spa, amongst other things.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
