FROM HYPOTHESIS TO WORKING PROTOTYPE

Brain Storm is moving from conceptual architecture to working systems, with current development spanning spatial computing, embodied coordinates, multisensory pattern control, and independently programmable fingerpad haptics.

DEMONSTRATED

Spatial computing prototype

The current Brain Storm prototype has demonstrated tracked hand coordinates, independently routed visual and spatial-audio events, ordered multisensory patterns, programmable tempo, and commanded audio/visual lead-lag relationships.

Control, visualization, and measurement

A research-facing console is planned to support protocol control, live system visualization, experiment state, measurement, logging, and export as the underlying architecture matures.

RESEARCH CONSOLE — IN DEVELOPMENT

This is the beginning of a larger platform—not the endpoint.

INITIAL APPLICATION

Starting with Parkinson’s disorder.

Starting with Parkinson’s disorder.

Starting with Parkinson’s disorder.

Parkinson’s disorder can involve changes across movement, sensory processing, timing, attention, and the coordination of information across multiple systems.

That makes it an important environment in which to investigate a broader question:

Brain Storm is developing a research platform for testing questions like these.

We are building tools to test the hypothesis—not asking anyone to assume the answer.

One platform. Different environments for investigation.

Brain Storm is building one programmable experimental architecture that can support different questions without becoming a different platform each time.

PARKINSON’S DISORDER

Focused initial application

Parkinson’s disorder is Brain Storm’s initial research focus and an important environment for studying relationships among sensory information, movement, timing, attention, and coordination.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE

Coordination under demanding conditions

Programmable multisensory experiments may help researchers investigate timing, workload, sensory conflict, attention, training, adaptation, and performance in demanding environments.

RESEARCH PLATFORM

Bring your own question

Researchers should be able to define sensory protocols, program event relationships, compare conditions, measure responses, and test competing models on a common experimental substrate.

As evidence develops, additional research, clinical, performance, rehabilitation, and training applications may emerge from the same architecture.

WHY BRAIN STORM EXISTS

Brain Storm began with a question.

Brain Storm began with a question.

Not an answer.

Not an answer.

Not an answer.

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disorder, founder Mike Mooney became increasingly interested in questions that crossed conventional disciplinary boundaries.

How do sensory information, movement, timing, perception, and action interact?

Why can systems that appear capable individually still struggle to work together?

Could those relationships become controllable enough to study experimentally?

The questions led to experiments.

The experiments began becoming a platform.

Brain Storm Studios was founded by Mike and Ellie Mooney to build that platform responsibly with the help of people who possess the scientific and engineering expertise required to challenge it.

Founder-led. Expert-enabled. Experiment-driven.
