Research & Technical Notes
Technical background on the evidence, limits, and design choices behind Phantas: guided sessions, real-time audio synthesis, stereo frequency separation, optional visual stimulation, and why the product keeps claims bounded.
Experience precedes understanding — the guided session is the fastest way to feel what the protocols do.
Adding light: photic stimulation and the induction model
Why the protocols now pair audio with a synchronized light channel — the SSVEP evidence, exact-divisor engineering, the eyes-closed induction model, and the screening-first safety design.
Protocol map: frequency labels and session design
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 starts with guided sessions that do not rely on visualization.
