The only closed-loop neurostimulation (tDCS) wearable. Reads your nervous system in real time and shifts how you feel in minutes.
If you find yourself relying on your third cup of coffee to push through afternoon brain fog, Riarus is introducing a highly sophisticated alternative. Launching on Kickstarter, the Sychedelic Neuroacoustic Headphones represent a massive leap in wearable brain technology. Instead of simply tracking your stress levels and giving you a score the next day, these headphones actively read your cognitive state and use targeted neurostimulation to help you focus, calm down, or sleep in a matter of minutes.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Sychedelic Neuroacoustic Headphones by Riarus.
What It Is Sychedelic is an innovative pair of over ear headphones that doubles as a closed loop neuromodulation device. It uses built in biometric sensors, artificial intelligence, and mild electrical stimulation to actively shift your brain out of stress or fatigue and into an optimal state.
KEY FEATURES
Real Time Biometric Tracking Hidden inside the earcups are optical PPG sensors that monitor your heart rate variability and physiological signals. This allows the onboard artificial intelligence to accurately gauge if you are stressed, drowsy, or experiencing brain fog.
Adaptive Soundscapes Instead of static focus playlists, the headphones generate dynamic, AI driven binaural beats. If you are anxious, the frequencies shift to calm your nervous system. If you are tired, they pivot to stimulate alertness.
Smart Neurostimulation The standout feature is the integration of tDCS, or transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. Once the audio primes your brain, the system delivers up to 2mA of mild electrical stimulation directly to the prefrontal cortex to lock in deep focus for up to 90 minutes.
Premium Audio Quality When you are not actively using the wellness features, the device functions perfectly as a set of high end headphones. It is equipped with 40mm audio drivers, active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
Everyday Wearability Unlike bulky medical equipment, the Sychedelic headphones are designed to look like standard premium audio gear. They utilize a simple moistened sponge system for the stimulation contacts, completely avoiding the need for messy conductive gels.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Early supporters can back the project on Kickstarter to secure the headphones at a significant discount. The campaign gained massive traction immediately, funding over 900 percent in its first ten days.
Options Backers can secure the core headset, which includes the necessary sponges and charging accessories, while also receiving free shipping by subscribing early.
Delivery The team is currently navigating their active Kickstarter campaign, which launched in June 2026, and will provide fulfillment timelines as production ramps up.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Active Cognitive Intervention. The creators at Riarus believe that tracking your health metrics is no longer enough. All modern wearables can tell you that you are stressed or poorly recovered. Sychedelic was built to take the next step by actively intervening, serving as a personal regulator that shifts your biological baseline back into the optimal zone exactly when you need it.
INSPIRATION
The project was born from the founders' personal experiences with burnout and a desire to better manage mental states in high pressure environments. They realized that consumer neurotech was failing because it either required too much friction to use or looked completely ridiculous in an office setting. By hiding peer reviewed tDCS technology inside a sleek, premium headphone chassis, they aimed to make deep focus and stress relief as easy as putting on your favorite playlist.
