Twenty-one days to hack consciousness.
Closed-loop neurotech, built in three weeks on the Arabian Sea. EEG, ECG, muscle, breath, skin and gaze in; light, visuals, sound, touch, heat and scent out. Every shift measured, not described. No pharmacology.

- Method
- No substances. Everything is driven by hardware under software control.
- What gets built
- Closed-loop devices — sense the state, drive it, sense again.
- Sensing
- EEG, ECG, HRV, EMG, EOG, PPG, fNIRS. Breath, skin conductance, skin temperature, pupil and gaze, movement and micro-tremor, posture, voice. Whatever tells you where someone actually is.
- Driving
- Light and flicker, visuals and XR, sound, binaural and isochronic tones, haptics and vibration, pressure, heat and cold, scent, motion and rocking, airflow, paced breath, language. Whatever moves them somewhere else.
- Hardware

You ship hardware.
Embedded and firmware, PCB design, ML and signal processing, XR and real-time graphics, sound design, industrial design and fabrication.
You have a practice.
Any tradition, any method, no minimum. What matters is that you have been in these states yourself, and can describe what happened. You cannot build a door you have not walked through.
The room is being built now.
Places are limited and applications are read personally, not filtered by a form. Tell me what you have built and what you would build here, and be specific about both.
Received, and thank you.
I read these myself, so a reply takes a few days rather than a few minutes. You will hear from me either way.
One thing worth doing now if you have not: The Depth Lab sits inside Edge City India, and a place at the village is applied for separately. Their prices step up as the village fills, so applying early is worth real money.
Applications open shortly.
The form for this cycle is not live on this page yet. Write to me directly in the meantime — what you have built, and what you would build here — and I will send it to you the moment it opens.
