One continuous sweep of satin titanium, shaped to the brow.
From temple to temple, the titanium never breaks. A single light line marks the band.
A quiet instrument for the mind.
A noninvasive headband and a companion app that blend music with personalized 40 Hz sound, in a closed loop.
Design
Soft where it rests.
A knit cushion rolls over the top edge and meets the forehead first.
Dry contacts listen across the forehead. No gel.
Champagne contacts sit in soft foam, low on the inner band, where the halo meets the skin.
Rests at the temples. Settles behind the ear.
Drawn around a head first, then shaped to it: a halo across the brow and slim arms that tuck behind the ear.
Every layer, considered.
Textile, titanium, foam and glass, each meeting the next on a clean line.

How it works
One closed loop.
A research-stage design that listens, forecasts and adapts, so the sound follows the person.
0105
Sense
Dry contacts read the brain’s electrical rhythm, continuously.
0205
Interpret
A causal model reads what has already happened to forecast what comes next, including when the brain may stop responding.
0305
Personalize
The stimulus adapts to the person, not to a fixed schedule.
0405
Deliver
40 Hz sound, woven into music.
Demonstration
Five seconds of a soft chord with a 40 Hz pulse, at low volume.
0505
Adapt
Every response informs the next. The loop closes.
Interface concept
Calm on the surface. Personal underneath.
Sessions shaped by mood and cognitive load, and a caregiver view that keeps family close.
From research to product
It started with one person.
The question
I was nine, and it was my grandfather. He forgot my name and looked at me like a stranger.
More than eight years of classical and jazz piano run through everything that followed.
The research
Closed-loop EEG with personalized 40 Hz auditory stimulation, building on MIT’s 2016 gamma-stimulation research. A causal temporal-convolutional network reads continuous EEG and forecasts phase–amplitude coupling, so the sound can adapt in real time.

The prototype
Weeks spent optimizing real-time latency. Then a pilot with 18 seniors in assisted-living facilities.
The company
Harmoniq turns that research into a product: a headband and an app, designed together.

From the founder
When my grandfather’s memory began to fade, he lost his words, but he could still feel music.
For every name worth remembering.
Harmoniq is building toward proactive cognitive care that’s as routine as a blood-pressure check.
The aim: use AI, sound and personalization to support and study the mind.
