“What the Lumenate App offers as a gateway into pure consciousness is incredibly exciting. The stroboscopic light is a revelatory way to explore the subconscious workings of one’s mind. What I experience using the app is a combination of meditation and deep inner awareness. The tool is both innovative and groundbreaking. I cannot wait for the world to experience it.”

I really enjoyed the mental holiday gifted me by the Lumenate crew. It was wild, trippy and fun… Oh! The power of altered states!

This technology might provide exciting insights into our understanding of consciousness. By exploring the immersive experiences of users of Lumenate App, we might learn a lot about the mind and brain.

Our research has found that stroboscopic stimulation can lead to subjectively striking changes in experience, and we are excited about new ways to explore this effect and its impact on people’s lives.

“I am a consultant psychiatrist who has been working in the field of psychedelic research for the last 15 years. During that time I have worked on projects with LSD, psilocybin, DMT, ketamine and MDMA. Our team has been exploring how these chemicals work in the brain, what they can teach us about the nature of human consciousness and how we can develop the drugs as clinical tools to assist our worthy patients. Alongside the use of drug-assisted psychotherapy, we are also always looking for ways to induce a non-drug psychedelic effect, which can be used as a tool to support patients in the pre-drug preparation and post-drug integration of their psychedelic-assisted sessions.

I have to admit however, when I first heard about the Lumenate light project and was invited to be a guinea pig to test the equipment, I was sceptical. Over the years in this field, I have seen many people attempt to induce a non-drug psychedelic experience, and found most of the various inventions to be far short of the mark in reproducing that unique and valuable experience without drugs. However, when I met with the Lumenate crew and was given a demonstration, I was frankly blown away! The lights – and the judicious and measured manner in which they are programmed alongside EEG patterns – induces a full-blown visual psychedelic experience. But the effect is far beyond simply inducing closed-eye visual patterns and shapes. The depth of the experience, especially when combined with beat-matched music, takes the user to ‘another place’, an altered state of consciousness in which one is confronted with new ways of looking at oneself in an entirely unique internal space.

The Lumenate light project is more than just a fun experience. It offers users an opportunity for personal growth and development. The success of the project is testament to the careful design, scientific background and evidence-based approach of the Lumenate inventors. I see this tool being an important element in the future of clinical psychedelic research and treatments. The inventors have my full endorsement.”
