On this episode of the Psychedelic Invest Podcast, host Bruce Eckfeldt is joined by Robin Arnott and Sandeep Prakash of SoundSelf. SoundSelf SoundSelf knows that therapists and healers are more than just one-size-fits-all practitioners of a system—they're highly empathetic and creative souls who yearn to better their patients and community. SoundSelf believes these people should have access to the best tools that enhance their practice in a way that is not only safe and effective, but also rewarding and even fun. Their state-of-the-art tools use techniques of ancient origins. They are spiritual technologies, validated by science, and delivered in a compassionate setting by you. Robin Arnott Robin Arnott is the founder and CEO of SoundSelf, a digital therapeutic supporting life and mind transformation. Before founding SoundSelf, Robin was the CEO of Andromeda Entertainment, where he oversaw the distribution of VR experiences that provide psychological fulfillment through embodiment and meditation. A longstanding public speaker, Robin teaches and advocates for game design principles that facilitate psychological transformation by engaging the body. His work and ideas are featured in Netflix's "Screenland" docu-series, and the documentary "Game Loading: Rise of the Indies". He has spoken about technology as an awakening agent at the Game Developers' Conference, Wisdom 2.0, Transformative Technology Conference, The Science of Consciousness, and TEDx Linz. Sandeep Prakash Sandeep Prakash is a psychologist, educator, and researcher. My work draws on western psychology and indigenous systems of wellness, such as shamanism, yoga, Buddhism, and non-dual Vedanta philosophy. I completed training in research, depth psychology, eco-psychology, and psychological work with altered states of consciousness during my Master's and Doctoral degrees at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I have extensive experience facilitating transformative events, training, seminars, CE continuing education, graduate-level courses, on topics such as psychedelic integration, yoga psychology, neuropsychology of trauma, nature-based psychological practice, and transformative experience design in Virtual Reality. My doctoral dissertation research explored cutting-edge virtual reality, or VR, technology for psychological well-being. Using a novel collaborative study design, the research generated qualitative and quantitative data about the long-term use of a VR app-SoundSelf VR-- that induces altered states of consciousness akin to psychedelics, such as LSD or psilocybin. At SoundSelf, I lead research, medical affairs, and Digital Therapeutic design. I also assist with strategy, marketing, regulatory affairs, and general business processes of a fun, fast-paced, and industry-leading psychedelic health-tech startup.

The world of digital therapeutics is booming just as fast as psychedelic therapy. Today's guest, Lyle Maxson, is resolutely optimistic about the positive synthesis of the two. On the show, we discuss the science of Lyle's software SoundSelf, which uses voice to generate a hypnotic world of light, color, and sound. We review his business partner Robin Arnott's Technodelic Manifesto and ask the important question: Will technology replace therapists?

Robin Arnott is an audio designer and game developer who developed Deep Sea, released in 2010, and SoundSelf. Both games focus mainly on audio, with Deep Sea being audio only and SoundSelf featuring audio accompanied by abstract visuals. He also did sound design for Antichamber.About SoundSelf: Use your voice to generate a hypnotic world of light, color, and sound.Now, more than ever, the stresses of daily life grind us down. A strong meditation practice helps us feel more at peace and ready to meet the world. But those very stresses make it difficult to form a practice. The constant pressure distracts the monkey brain, and we drift into anxiety instead of stillness. SoundSelf induces a meditative state. SoundSelf will gently lull you into meditation by engaging you in a centuries-old practice called "toning." You'll breathe deeply and exhale in long extended tones, SoundSelf will produce audio/video feedback to shift you into meditation. Relax and let go.https://soundself.com/https://www.enterandromeda.com/http://eastforest.org

Robin Arnott from Andromeda Entertainment thinks he might just have the "Trojan Horse" that'll get video gamers into meditation and mindfulness. It's called Soundself: A Technodelic, and it's virtual reality experience that some users have compared to the effects of taking psilocybin, the hallucinogenic ingredient found in some mushrooms.

The soft tones you’re hearing may not sound like much, but behind the goggles of a virtual reality headset, those long hums influence the development of a unique psychedelic experience. And as odd as it feels to have to trek to a separate location for a demo, there’s a reason to move the experience to a hotel room - it just wouldn’t be the same amid the hustle and bustle of the PAX East expo floor. Sound Self is a meditation experience designed for PC and PC-VR that builds on users’ vocal tones to create harmonies and unique visual stimuli. The game takes long smooth tones, like the ones heard here, and turns them into vibrant colors, complex harmonies, and intricate shapes within the VR system. This story was written, recorded, and produced by Hannah Harn for the Boston University News Service. FULL STORY:

Full Interview with Robin Arnott, Founder and Designer of Sound Self Game.
Robin Arnott's first virtual reality game was a sense-depriving gas mask with a literal suffocation mechanic. Instead of the paralyzing terror of "Deep Sea," his new project "SoundSelf" aims to induce meditative bliss. Both games focus heavily on audio as the core experience. Creating games as we all know can be very challenging and time-consuming. Robin expresses his feelings and experience on his 6-year journey making SoundSelf. One key takeaway is to have a sense of why and purpose in order to maintain motivation.
The sound designer of The Stanley Parable, Robin Arnott, has a new work which designs a trance via the music of the player’s own voice.
