The Science of Light

Brain Candy uses flickering lights and visual patterns guided by research into hallucinatory visual phenomena by Heinrich Kluver which may help guide exploration of relaxation, focus, and energy states. We bring science, art, and fun together for an unforgettable experience.

How It Works

Flickering light enters through your open eyes and may influence neural rhythms and connectivity, which users report creates unique states of mind that can support a variety of practices.

Brain Candy is DOPE.

Brain Candy fuses neuroscience and immersive art to create a new class of wellness and entertainment technology. At its core is Dynamic Oscillatory Pattern Entrainment (DOPE) — a method that uses structured rhythms of light, sound, and gentle vibration designed to work with the brain's natural patterns. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all experience, Brain Candy provides a tunable buffet designed to satisfy the wide spectrum of human perceptual palates.

Inspired by research on neural entrainment and attention restoration, it pairs rhythmic stimulation with flowing, non-semantic patterns. Research suggests our visual systems may process natural, fractal patterns more efficiently due to evolutionary exposure to similar forms in nature.

The result is a neuro-aesthetic platform that is rigorously designed, yet playfully engaging. Equally suited to support your efforts to focus, relax, and relieve stress, as well as for the safe exploration of altered states and vivid perceptual effects.
