WHAT ISSOUNDSELF?
SoundSelf's "Obfuscated Interactive Feedback" algorithm synchronizes a user's vocal tones with strobing LED light patterns and generative music, creating an immersive experience that stimulates the default mode network, vagus nerve, and other neural pathways critical for stress reduction and mood enhancement. Unlike conventional therapies, SoundSelf directly induces mindfulness states and primes users for enhanced receptivity to adjunct psychotherapeutic or psychopharmacological modalities.
SoundSelf is a
digital therapy
that combines vocal-toning biofeedback, optic neurostimulation, and generative soundscapes to induce rapid relaxation, emotional regulation, and mindfulness.
The mechanisms of action of SoundSelf are rooted in its ability to modulate physiological, psychological, and neural states through a combination of sensory, auditory, and interactive biofeedback techniques.
KEY MECHANISMS INCLUDE
VOCAL TONING AND BIOFEEDBACK
Users produce sustained vowel tones, which are captured and modulated into a generative soundscape.
IMPACT
Vocal toning activates the vagus nerve, promoting parasympathetic activation and reducing stress and anxiety. The biofeedback loop fosters a deep state of presence and self-regulation.
DEFAULT MODE NETWORK MODULATION
The immersive, multi-sensory experience reduces DMN activity, similar to effects observed during mindfulness meditation or psychedelic states.
IMPACT
Encourages a dissolution of ego-centric processing, fostering insight, emotional release, and profound relaxation.
NEUROPLASTICITY AND COGNITIVE PRIMING
The combined auditory, visual, and interactive elements engage key brain regions (amygdala, prefrontal cortex) and promote neuroplasticity by creating novel sensory experiences.
IMPACT
Prepares the brain for deeper receptivity to embedded therapeutic content, such as CBT principles, enhancing long-term cognitive and emotional resilience.
OPTIC NEUROSTIMULATION
LED glasses deliver rhythmic strobing light patterns to closed eyelids, synchronized with the soundscape and user input.
IMPACT
Stimulates the optic nerve and targets specific brainwave frequencies (theta, alpha, gamma) to facilitate relaxation, deactivation of the Default Mode Network (DMN), and states akin to deep meditation or psychedelic experiences.
SOMATIC AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION
SoundSelf's generative music responds to the user's vocalizations, creating a feedback loop that aligns their physiology with the interactive environment.
IMPACT
Encourages diaphragmatic breathing and lowers heart rate and respiration, supporting emotional regulation and somatic release.
ALTERED STATES INDUCTION
The integration of Al-driven, real-time biofeedback creates a self-reinforcing loop of sensory engagement, leading users into states of awe, flow, and absorption.
IMPACT
Facilitates profound shifts in attention and consciousness, reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and rumination.

Take Your Patients on an Unforgettable Journey
SoundSelf is a unique experiential intervention that has been clinically validated to facilitate non-ordinary states in as little as 15 minutes.
It also provides, in one immersive package, an interactive setting to support the optimal integration of insights and embodied experiences encountered in those profound states, converting them into genuine life improvement.
SoundSelf is an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution that covers everything that your patients need for preparation, integration, and immersive journeywork.
You bring your caring and expert guidance, and SoundSelf takes care of the rest.
SoundSelf introduces “surrender practice” and “psychedelic memory reactivation” into the therapist’s tool-kit.
While SoundSelf is an excellent standalone intervention, most practitioners leverage these benefits to improve the effectiveness of other interventions used in conjunction with SoundSelf.
Amplify the impact of your best tools
From ketamine therapy to acupuncture, SoundSelf amplifies the impact of any somatic or emotional process by gently training patient awareness into deeply embodied “non-ordinary states.” In addition to significant and large improvements in scores for depression, anxiety, and well-being, patients come out of SoundSelf with predictable but immeasurable benefits that complement further work with other modalities:
More ease and psychological flexibility around their life difficulties
A greater sense of presence in the body
Heightened awareness of their senses
Improved sleep quality
Greater openness to change and “trusting the process”
Productive insights and development of intuition
Improved confidence in their ability to make changes in their life
Deeper engagement in the therapeutic journey

SoundSelf is Good Business
Improve revenue
Most SoundSelf practices charge $90 - $120 for a 45 minute session, which can sometimes be billed to insurance.
More Patients, More Visits
The SoundSelf team actively promotes our partners and drives patients to their businesses.
Many treatments are improved by adding SoundSelf sessions as a preparation or integration protocol, which adds additional touchpoints and billing opportunities for your clients. By way of example, our most successful psychedelic therapy protocol adds three SoundSelf preparation sessions in advance of medicine work.
Improve Engagement and Compliance
Because it’s so engaging and enjoyable, patients look forward to their SoundSelf sessions, so it can improve patient retention, as well as compliance with other protocols.
Free up time
Running SoundSelf does not require special training or supervision. You or a technician can simply help a patient get comfortable, and then leave them in privacy until the session is completed, freeing up your time for other activities or for a well-deserved break.
