The Evolution of SoundSelf: An Immersive Technology for Mental Health

SoundSelf is an immersive technology for mental health that originated from the vision of game designer Robin Arnot. By combining flashing LED glasses, headphones, and vibro-acoustic mats, SoundSelf aims to induce a trance-like state through toning and visualization. The therapeutic potential lies in reducing default mode network activity, fostering neuroplasticity, and enabling users to work with their own voices to generate a musical system. The immersive experience can be particularly beneficial for anxiety reduction, preparation, and integration in psychedelic therapy.
