Research & Technical Notes
Technical background on how Phantas protocols target specific waking cognitive states through real-time audio synthesis, stereo frequency separation, and optional visual entrainment. The product is built on these mechanisms — this section explains why they work.
Experience precedes understanding — the guided session is the fastest way to feel what the protocols do.
Protocol map: targeting waking cognitive states
How DEEP (10 Hz Alpha), FOCUS (14 Hz Beta), and GAMMA (40 Hz) target specific brainwave frequencies — and why each protocol is structured with an entry phase before the working window.
Why structured audio can feel different from streaming tracks
Technical context on stereo separation, streaming compression limits, and why Phantas generates sessions in real time in the browser.
Audio-first design, imagery differences, and aphantasia
Technical notes on imagery differences and why Phantas is designed as a protocol system for entering waking cognitive states without visualization.
