About DBSS Deep Brain Sound Stimulation (DBSS) is a purely auditory neuromodulation approach that aims to selectively engage specific brain regions using finely tailored sound frequencies. We have observational data (6,000+ users) across a range of indications—such as ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, and more—with high user satisfaction. However, no formal imaging-based proof-of-efficacy exists.
Collaboration Request
- Goal: Conduct an fMRI or EEG pilot to confirm that DBSS can reliably activate distinct neural circuits (e.g., DLPFC, Thalamus, Basal Ganglia, VTA, hypothalamic axis) under controlled conditions.
- No External Funding: We’re self-funded and can provide all DBSS protocols, training, and potential co-authorship; we rely on the lab’s existing imaging resources.
- Flexible Focus: The lab can choose which region or condition to test, reflecting current research interests (e.g., depression, OCD, motor disorders, cognitive enhancement).
- Timeline: Could vary from a brief feasibility study to a few months, depending on participant numbers and the number of targeted brain locations.
Why It May Interest You
- New Avenue: Labs working on TMS/tDCS might find DBSS an intriguing alternative or complementary approach with minimal hardware.
- Broad Applications: DBSS protocols exist for both psychiatric and neurological conditions, plus personal enhancement (e.g., focus, memory).
- Potential for Impact: A positive imaging outcome could demonstrate a new, fully non-invasive neuromodulation method that’s cost-effective and user-friendly.
