Manipulating brainwaves can affect mood, memory, attention and sleep, with therapeutic benefits in conditions ranging from ADHD to anxiety to Alzheimer’s, but current neuromodulation techniques are limited. Through research led by Newcastle University, we have demonstrated how ‘closed-loop’ neurostimulation (whereby brain signals control brain stimulation in a real-time feedback loop) can boost or suppress brainwave oscillations at different frequencies). Neudio combines closed-loop algorithms with non-invasive technologies (surface EEG recordings and musical stimulation) to regulate brainwaves. Effectively, our technology establishes a resonance between brain activity and music that enhances or suppresses brainwaves at specific frequencies.
