What is RE:SET

RE:SET is a multisensory wellness system that uses synchronized sound, music, full body tactile stimulation, and chromatherapy light to shift nervous system and brain states. It is an integrated hardware and software platform designed to guide people into calm, clarity, stillness, recovery, or focused energy in short sessions.

Core System Components

1. Soundship Lounger

The Soundship lounger is a zero gravity style recliner with built in tactile transducers. It delivers low frequency sound through the body while the user reclines. The lounger is designed so that bass and low frequencies are felt along the back, legs, and torso. The structure, foam, and upholstery are tuned to transfer vibration effectively while remaining comfortable. The lounger can also support future biometric sensors.

2. Lighting System

The lighting system uses chromatherapy style lighting in the room or in a cube or wall structure. It delivers color based light patterns that are synchronized with the audio and tactile content. Light is used to influence mood, focus, circadian alignment, and perceptual stillness. When used with closed eyes, the lighting can create a uniform visual field that supports immersion.

3. Software and Content Engine

The software engine controls sound, tactile output, and lighting as one coordinated experience. It plays pre composed journeys and manages timing, intensity, and transitions. It ensures that multisensory inputs are synchronized and repeatable so that sessions can produce consistent effects. An operator interface can adjust parameters and manage sessions.

Sensory Modalities Used

Sound and Music

RE:SET uses music and sound that is mixed for whole body listening. Low frequency content in the 40 to 68 Hz range is routed to tactile transducers in the lounger. Higher frequencies are delivered through the audio system. This creates a combined auditory and tactile sound field.

Tactile Low Frequency Stimulation

The tactile system uses calibrated low frequency sound through the lounger. This can support relaxation, stillness, and parasympathetic activation. Users feel bass and subtle physical pulsing rather than only hearing it.

Sensory Modalities Used

Sound and Music

RE:SET uses music and sound that is mixed for whole body listening. Low frequency content in the 40 to 68 Hz range is routed to tactile transducers in the lounger. Higher frequencies are delivered through the audio system. This creates a combined auditory and tactile sound field.

Chromatherapy Light

The lighting protocols use specific colors and patterns:

  • Blue light can support alertness, focus, and circadian signals.

  • Green light can reduce visual tension and support calm.

  • Red light can support perceived energy, circulation, and recovery.

Light is synchronized with the audio and tactile arcs in each session.

Scientific and Physiological Principles

Frequency Following and Entrainment

RE:SET uses rhythmic sound and light patterns that the brain can follow. This is often called frequency following or entrainment. Repeated pulses or rhythms can encourage the brain to shift toward calmer or more focused patterns.

Autonomic Nervous System Regulation

The combination of low frequency tactile input, immersive sound, and controlled lighting is designed to support down regulation of fight or flight responses and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. This can help the body shift into rest, digest, and recovery states.

Multisensory Integration

All three channels - audio, tactile, and light - are designed to be synchronized. The brain receives these signals as a unified multisensory input, which can enhance state change and regulation.

Chromotherapy and Light Effects

Different colors and light patterns can influence mood, arousal, and circadian rhythms. RE:SET uses blue, green, and red light in specific contexts to support focus, calm, or perceived energy.

Session Structure

A typical RE:SET session follows a structured flow:

  1. Enter a controlled, low stimulus environment.

  2. Receive a brief orientation or silent welcome.

  3. Recline into the Soundship lounger in a zero gravity position.

  4. Begin the synchronized sound, tactile, and light sequence.

  5. Move through phases such as settle, entrain, sustain, and release.

  6. Gradually reduce intensity and return to baseline.

  7. Exit the session with time to integrate.

Sessions are usually 5 to 20 minutes. Benefits often begin within the first few minutes.

Multisensory Environment Design

RE:SET is installed in a controlled environment with reduced noise and visual clutter. This allows the system to act as a stable container for sensory input. The combination of sound, light, and tactile energy is delivered in a predictable arc from entry to exit.

Intended Outcomes

RE:SET sessions are designed to support:

  • stress reduction

  • relaxation and physical stillness

  • emotional regulation

  • improved clarity and presence

  • improved focus and cognitive bandwidth

  • creative flow and insight

  • recovery and integration after demanding experiences

Effects can be felt immediately and may also build cumulatively with repeated use.

Frequency and Light Functions

Examples of internal protocols used in RE:SET include:

  • 40 Hz - associated with pain reduction, cellular repair support, and blood pressure regulation in emerging research contexts.

  • 68 Hz - associated with calm, stillness, and parasympathetic activation.

  • Alpha range 8 to 12 Hz through sound entrainment - associated with meditative clarity and present moment awareness.

  • Blue light - supports focus, alertness, and circadian alignment signals.

  • Green light - reduces visual tension and can support a sense of calm.

  • Red light - supports perceived energy, circulation, and recovery.

These frequencies and colors are used within a multisensory context rather than in isolation.

Primary Use Cases and Environments

RE:SET is intended for environments such as:

  • wellness and recovery clinics

  • mental health and integrative therapy centers

  • hotels and spas

  • corporate wellness spaces

  • universities and learning environments

  • high stress or sensory heavy settings

  • selected home installations

It is used as a short, repeatable intervention to support nervous system regulation, calm, clarity, and recovery.

System Constraints and Requirements

Key requirements for installation include:

  • a controlled, low noise environment

  • control over ambient lighting

  • sufficient space for the lounger and lighting structures

  • appropriate power distribution for audio, tactile, and light hardware

  • adequate ventilation and user comfort

  • trained operators for safe and consistent use

Summary

RE:SET is a multisensory wellness platform that combines synchronized music, sound, tactile low frequency stimulation, and chromatherapy light in a controlled environment. It is built as a hardware and software system to reliably induce calm, clarity, recovery, and focused states through nervous system regulation and multisensory entrainment.
