Our Mission

Our goal is to help people worldwide access peak states of cognitive performance, emotional resilience, and fundamental well-being. A key aspect of our mission is supporting brain health and mental flourishing through novel applications of light. Our pioneering approach pairs advanced photobiomodulation with transformative methods drawn from a diverse set of therapies and meditation systems. We are committed to supporting individuals at every stage of the meditation journey, from novice to adept, with light-based technology designed to deepen and enrich practice. Our products are the result of a steadfast commitment to scientific research and innovation, and we are proud to collaborate with experts around the world to validate our technology and continually advance the state of the art.

How are we different?

The flagship Neuromatrix headset delivers high-wavelength infrared light across a wide coverage area, utilizing pulses at frequencies carefully chosen to support somatic healing and entry into deep states of meditation.

  • Higher wavelength light compared to other headsets for deep penetration
  • Distributed emitter array for wide coverage across the head
  • Clinically informed, proprietary frequency protocols
  • 25 years of clinical and research experience in energy technologies for health, healing and meditation

    Each headset purchase includes a complimentary 30-minute introductory call with our expert, Dr. Manchanda, to get acquainted with the technology and design a protocol custom-tailored to your goals.

    Bio

    Dr. Sanjay Manchanda is an expert in neuroscience, neurotechnology, and integrative wellness. Originally trained as an electrical engineer and computer scientist, he left his role as a university professor in response to an inner calling to study the mind and consciousness. For over thirty years, he has combined scientific rigor with deep training in meditative traditions and in various mind and body based psychotherapies.


    As a clinician and educator, Dr. Manchanda specializes in psychospiritual integration,  neurofeedback, brain stimulation, and photobiomodulation (PBM). He works with individuals to achieve peak cognitive performance, support recovery from brain injury, enhance mood, and access deeper meditative states and self-transformation—drawing on both advanced technology and holistic methods.


    Dr. Manchanda has presented his research at leading conferences on consciousness and technology, and teaches at several universities including the California Institute of Integral Studies and the California Institute of Human Science. At Neuromatrix Health, he leads research into novel uses of photobiomodulation and the development of next-generation brain wellness devices. He is dedicated to making neurotechnology practical and accessible, helping people achieve better cognitive function, resilience, and quality of life.

    My Story

    From a young age I was driven to understand human suffering and promote well-being. My personal experience with childhood anxiety, and later depression, shaped a lifelong commitment to human flourishing and mental health. After earning degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from top institutions in India and the United States, I became a computer science professor. While successful by conventional standards, I realized my deeper calling lay in understanding and transforming consciousness.


    I left academia to immerse myself in meditation, mind-body practices, and clinical psychology. I became a licensed psychotherapist, meditation teacher, and healer. Over the past two decades I have integrated my expertise in advanced technology with neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice. I am a board-certified neurofeedback practitioner and a specialist in non-invasive neurostimulation methods, including electrical, magnetic, and photonic modalities.


    My work centers on the integration of Eastern contemplative wisdom and Western scientific rigor. This path of synthesis led me to develop a novel approach to neural modulation using high-frequency pulsed infrared light. Through years of applied research, I discovered that targeted photobiomodulation can rapidly induce deep meditative and expanded states of consciousness, enhance executive function, and support brain recovery—all non-invasively and safely.


    The technology underlying Neuromatrix arose because meditation practitioners repeatedly reported profound benefits and requested access to our prototype devices for personal use. Our mission is to advance human well-being by combining powerful inner technologies—such as meditation, self-inquiry, and trauma resolution—with cutting-edge external technologies like pulsed intracranial photobiomodulation.
