A Day With Sychedelic

What this looks like in an ordinary day.

The Problem

Why you're still struggling, even with everything you've tried.

  • Can't switch off
  • Mental fatigue
  • Afternoon brain fog
  • Decision fatigue
  • Poor recovery

Fatigue that builds all day and never fully clears, even overnight.

All solve one part.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Sychedelic is built to respond, not just report. Adjusting to your nervous system as it changes.

Music reduces your stress.tDCS sharpens your focus.

Extend your best thinking.

Prefrontal-cortex priming that helps you enter and hold a focus state — instead of hoping one arrives.

Science Before Hype

Is this actually backed by evidence?

Supported by 25 peer-reviewed studies, not a revolutionary claim, a documented one.

HighFocusLow
A 400-person heart-rate study and a 6-month real-world cohort. Plus our own 24-day pilot, where every measured endpoint moved the right way: anxiety down, mood up, everyday stress down, sleep improved. The headphones' own sensors picked up the same shift wearers reported: body and brain responding together.
25 independent, peer-reviewed papers reviewed, spanning 2000–2025. Across them: no serious adverse effects from tDCS use, meaningful gains in focus and reaction time, and better sleep with repeated sessions. We read all of it, including the studies that didn't go our way — see the full list below.
Cognitive fatigue is the strongest, most consistent signal in healthy adults. Sleep evidence is real but strongest in clinical populations. In people who already sleep well, the effect is likely smaller. We built around the signal that's most reliable, not the one that sounds best.
Every setting is evidence-anchored, not chosen by feel: Target site is the left DLPFC (F3/F4, per 50+ cognitive tDCS studies), Current is 2mA (Boggio 2006, Hoy 2013), Session length is 20 minutes (Ohn 2008 — the working-memory threshold), And stimulation runs during an active task, not passively (Mancuso 2016).
The most common sensation reported is mild tingling at the electrode site. Nothing more. Sychedelic is not recommended for anyone with an implanted electronic device, active epilepsy, or open skin conditions near the electrode site.

The Conclusion

Not every result flatters us. Horvath et al.'s review of 59 analyses found no reliable effect from a single tDCS session in rested, healthy adults. Which is exactly why Sychedelic is built around repeated sessions paired with an active task, not a one-time jolt. We publish the finding that complicates our claim, not just the ones that support it.

Results over time

What to realistically expect.

Session One

Calibrate

You tell us how you slept and how you feel, that picks your first soundscape. Rate each session afterward; that single rating is what starts training the engine on your baseline.

WEEKS 1–4

Build

A Brain Battery number appears, not a mood, a reserve that moves with your day: coffee, a workout, a nap, a Boost session. Keep showing up and it learns your rhythm; step away too long and you start over at Calibrate.

FROM WEEK 4

Consolidate

By 10–12 sessions in, the benefit holds even on days you skip Boost. The app already knows your schedule, what music, what frequency, what time of day works for you.

ONGOING

Maintain

One Boost session a week holds the gains. By now it's less a wellness tool and more the app you already work in, Boost is just there when you need it.

Built On Science. Trusted By Experts.

Who believes in this.

Dr. Giuseppina Pilloni

Science Advisor

Sychedelic is approaching mental wellness through a compelling combination of wearable technology, behavioral science, and personalised insights.

I believe solutions that enable earlier awareness, continuous monitoring, and scalable support have the potential to meaningfully transform how individuals understand and optimise their overall wellbeing.

Dr. Scott Eilers, PsyD

Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist · Author & Mental Health Educator

There is a pretty substantial difference I notice on days when I use them versus days when I don't. Definitely major impact on mental performance. The other time I use them is before bed… as a way to wind down. I have been waking up like 30, 45, sometimes even an hour before my alarm and feeling rested, feeling alert, feeling ready to go. And I think the binaural beats in the Sychedelic headphones are a substantial part of why I am experiencing that. I'm pretty thrilled about that outcome.

The World Is Paying Attention

You're not the first to notice.

How It Works

What actually happens when you press play.

Measure

PPG sensing reads heart-rate variability near the ear.

Understand

HRV is translated into a cognitive state, calm, stressed, or fatigued.

Adapt

The algorithm selects the right audio and stimulation response.

Sustain

Adaptive audio and mild tDCS work together on the prefrontal cortex.

Stimulate

The loop repeats, because your state keeps changing, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any remaining doubt, answered plainly.

A 400-person HRV study under work stress, an EEG and psychometric study mapping focus to biosensor data, separating real effects from placebo, and a six-month real-world cohort tracking daily use.

Your session data stays on your device by default. Nothing is shared without an explicit opt-in.

No. Every core feature works out of the box, with no recurring fee.

Yes. The battery is within airline limits and the device is safe to carry on.

Anyone with a history of seizures, or with an implanted medical device, should speak to a clinician first.

Try it for 30 days. If it isn't for you, send it back for a full refund.
