Lumenate is a pioneering app that uses sound and light to change brain rhythms in ways similar to psychedelics and highly experienced meditators, and brain imaging researchers at Imperial College London and as well as researchers in Berlin.
Our guests have talked about what psychedelic experiences and Lumenate appear to have in common. They talked about Increased brain signal complexity, reduced activity in the default mode network, increased functional connectivity between different brain regions, and reductions in peak alpha brainwaves.
They have ongoing trials underway in London which "aims to uncover neural mechanisms of visual imagery induced by Lumenate, using high-density EEG. The research also aims at comparing psychedelic experiences induced by DMT and Lumenate, by exploring the psychological and biological mechanisms of both altered states of consciousness”.
