How NeuroVIZR Creates Deep Relaxation (In Simple Terms)

How NeuroVIZR Creates Deep Relaxation - Simple Version

Your Body Has Two Main Modes

Imagine your body has two main settings:

• Stress mode (“fight or flight”)
  Heart beats fast, muscles tense, mind races

• Calm mode (“rest and digest”)
  Heart slows, breathing deepens, body relaxes and restores itself

The NeuroVIZR headset uses gentle flickering lights and soothing sounds for about 11 minutes to help your body shift from stress mode into calm mode.

Here’s how it works, explained in plain language.

Lights and Sounds Gently Wake Up the Brain

The lights and sounds create a mix of familiar, relaxing rhythms and small surprises.

This helps your brain’s electrical activity become more lively and flexible. Instead of repeating the same stressed patterns, your brain starts producing richer, more varied signals.

Scientists call this increased brain signal variability, or higher entropy.

A More Flexible Brain Sends “Calm Down” Messages

When your brain enters this adaptable, flexible state, it naturally sends calming instructions down an important nerve called the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve is often described as the body’s main “relax” pathway. When it becomes stronger and more active, we say it has higher vagal tone.

The Vagus Nerve Signals the Heart to Relax

A stronger vagus nerve tells your heart to relax.

This causes your heartbeat to naturally vary more from beat to beat. This is known as heart rate variability (HRV).

Higher HRV is one of the clearest signs that your body is in a safe, calm, “rest and digest” state — the opposite of stress mode.

Calm Spreads Throughout the Whole Body

Because the vagus nerve connects to many organs, this calming signal spreads quickly:

• Heart rate slows

• Breathing becomes deeper and easier

• Digestion turns on

• Muscles relax

• The mind feels quieter

A Positive Loop Keeps the Calm Going

Once your body feels calmer (with higher HRV), it sends positive signals back up the vagus nerve to the brain.

This feedback helps the brain stay flexible and relaxed for longer, creating a gentle upward spiral of calm.

In the Simplest Words Possible

NeuroVIZR’s lights and sounds →
make the brain more lively and flexible →
strengthen the body’s main “relax” nerve (the vagus nerve) →
increase healthy heart rate variability →
help the body and mind feel noticeably calmer and more at ease.

Many people feel this deep relaxation very quickly — often within the first few minutes — and some even fall asleep during the short session.

That’s why the experience feels so refreshing.
