GAMMA RESEARCH UPDATES

About â– 

The the newest edition of the gamma musical/medical instruments is the Gamma MOON (Musical Omnisensory Orbital Neuroinstrument). This instrument features a capacitive interface which delivers multisensory gamma stimulation through audio, visual, haptic and tactile feedback. The new contact arrangement allows both patients and members of the care team to create high-level musical abstractions or compositions. Gamma MOON's heightened sensorial engagement recruits increased cognitive entrainment, multimodal expression and creative freedom.

​

Benefits â– 

The Gamma MOON increases the likelihood of gamma entrainment, efficacy and patient compliance/enjoyability. The various mediums of light, sound, vibration and music are all installed within the single portable device. The Gamma MOON transforms any room into a multisensory gamma space. The  iridescent array of hues flickering at 40hz and congruent tones allows the experience to be captivating, encouraging increased usage. User testing reveals that 93% of individuals spent increased time with the Gamma MOON vs. other iterations and prototypes.

​

Function â– 

Using capacitive touch tracking, the raised tactile adornments allow patients and users to interact on a dynamically musical level.  The colourful 40hz lights are programmed to be hand-following to direct eye-gaze and encourage interaction. Vibration is activated via gesture and increases and decreases in cycles to mitigate any possible discomfort.

FUTURE STEPS â– 

​

Upcoming studies will further evaluate â€‹the Gamma MOON both in lab and home settings. Areas of focus include using EEG to track entrainment over specified time intervals as well as a more longitudinal user-study to evaluate the impact of this form factor on overall compliance. Further iterations can recruit broader sensory input such as olfactory stimulation.
