About this project
Can the deep states that meditators spend decades reaching — or the consciousness-shifting experiences of psychedelic therapy — be accessed safely and instantly? UK mental-wellbeing company Lumenate's answer is a light mask: Lumenate Nova.
Nova works through neural entrainment: an LED array projects precisely modulated flickering white light through closed eyelids, gently synchronising brainwaves into deeply meditative, semi-psychedelic states. The light sequences were developed from thousands of EEG brain scans rather than guesswork. Paired with the Lumenate App — trusted by over a million users — Nova covers relaxation, better sleep and inner exploration; the device includes core light sequences and free introductory sessions, with a premium subscription for the full library.
The campaign raised $1,168,853 against a £60,000 goal (roughly 19.5x) with 7,083 backers, cementing Lumenate's lead in meditation tech.
