Open-source light/sound neural entrainment device — looking for EEG feedback (no clinical claims)

Hi everyone,

I'm Aaron, an independent maker/builder — sole developer of NeuralInducer.org, an open-source, non-commercial project exploring neural entrainment through light, sound, and vibration (Arduino-based devices).

I want to be honest upfront: I don't have EEG data yet. What I have is consistent subjective feedback from myself and several family members who use the devices regularly — reports of relaxation, easier sleep onset, and a "settling" feeling during the alpha protocol. That's it. No clinical claims, no "proof" — just a device that seems to do something, and a builder who wants to know if it actually induces measurable brain activity.

If anyone here has a Muse, OpenBCI, or similar setup and is curious to test it and look at the EEG, I'd love the feedback — good or bad. I can share build files, firmware, and full protocol details. Everything is open-source (CC BY-NC).

If you want to dig deeper, the full project — including the scientific background and research papers behind each protocol — is documented at neuralinducer.org.

If you're in the US and interested in testing the physical device itself rather than replicating it, I currently have two NeuroSync ALPHA units built (firmware v6.x — includes vibration/beep, Modo D) ready to send out — happy to work out the details with whoever's interested.

I'd genuinely appreciate any help with this project — whether it's testing, feedback, or just pointing out where I might be wrong.

Happy to answer questions here — my written English is decent, please bear with me if I take a bit to reply.
