Sense
A low-power radar sensor reads sleep-relevant signals from across the room — presence, movement, breathing rhythm, and heart rhythm. Nothing touches your skin. Nothing to wear, charge, or remember.
Introducing Neuro
Your room, synced
to your body.
Neuro uses radar-based sensing to read sleep-relevant signals — no wearable, no contact — and quietly adapts your bedroom's light and sound in real time.
Non-wearable sensing · Adaptive light · Responsive sound
The problem
Most sleep tech asks
you to do the work.
Wearables to charge and remember. Apps to check. Routines to maintain. Sound machines that play the same loop whether you're wired or already drifting. Your body changes minute to minute — your room doesn't.
Routines fade
Wind-down rituals work — until life gets busy and they quietly disappear.
Wearables intrude
Straps, rings, and batteries put one more thing between you and rest.
Static stays static
Fixed lighting and looping sound can't respond to how you actually feel tonight.
Effort defeats sleep
The more you have to manage, the harder it is to let go. Rest shouldn't have a checklist.
Neuro takes a different approach: make the room itself responsive.
How it works
Sense. Understand. Adapt.
A continuous, quiet loop between your body and your bedroom.
Understand
Neuro interprets those signals as a picture of your rest state — still wired, settling, or drifting off — and tracks how it changes through the night.
Adapt
Light and sound shift in real time to meet you where you are: working gently harder when you're wired, easing off as you settle, and fading to darkness and silence as you drift off.
The logic
A control system,
with sleep as the setpoint.
Most sleep products play content. Neuro runs a loop. The target is your goal — sleep — and the feedback is your body. Every few seconds, all night, it checks whether the room is actually working, and corrects.

When your body says… the room answers.
Breathing is fast or shallow
Sound and light begin to rise and fall near six breaths per minute — and because the radar measures your breathing, Neuro can verify you're following, not just hope
Heart rhythm is elevated
The soundscape starts near your current rhythm, then slows — designed to draw your body down with it
A noise stirs you, movement spikes
Gentle pink-noise masking rises just enough to cover the disturbance, then recedes
Movement settles, breathing slows
The projection dims and slows, the room eases toward darkness
You're asleep
Light off. Sound fades to silence. The room disappears — because your body sleeps best in the dark and quiet
Closing the loop is a studied approach — adaptive, biometric-driven intervention is an active area of published sleep research — and whether Neuro's loop beats a fixed routine is the exact question our pre-launch studies are designed to answer.

Technology
Sensing without
touching.
Neuro uses millimeter-wave radar — a class of sensing that has already been validated for sleep monitoring against polysomnography, the clinical gold standard, in peer-reviewed studies. It picks up subtle motion at a distance: movement, breathing rhythm, and heart rhythm, from the nightstand.
- No camera
- No wearable
- No contact required
- Designed to detect presence, movement, breathing rhythm, and heart rhythm
- Works in complete darkness
- The sensor itself is millimetres across — it disappears into the bedside form
The sensor, named.
We're building with the Infineon XENSIV™ BGT60TR13C — a 60 GHz FMCW radar with its antennas in the package, purpose-built for contactless vital-signs monitoring. It's the same sensor class as the radar that has been validated against polysomnography in consumer devices. And it's a real, orderable part stocked at major distributors — not a lab prototype. Early Neuro prototypes run on off-the-shelf 60 GHz modules that output breathing and heart rate out of the box.

The adaptive environment
Light and sound,
tuned to your state.
Adaptive light
- Soft water-wave projection — customizable patterns, motion, and palette
- Low-intensity, warm-spectrum ambient light
- Designed to shift with your biometric state, dimming and slowing as you settle
- Fades to darkness once you're still — built around the principle that bodies sleep best in the dark
- Future-ready for personalized evening routines

Responsive sound
- An adaptive audio environment, not a fixed loop
- Slow-tempo soundscapes paced near your resting heart rate, gradually easing down
- Breathing-paced cues at the body's resonance rhythm (~6 breaths/min)
- Gentle pink-noise masking raised only when disturbance is detected
- Volume eases down as you settle, then fades to silence

The science
Science, without
the effort.
Neuro draws on well-studied environmental methods and applies them automatically. We grade the evidence behind each one honestly — strong, good, or modest — and link the research, so you can judge it yourself.
Warm, dim evening light
Strong evidenceWhat it does: Shifts the room to low, warm light as bedtime approaches, easing back stimulating brightness.
What research shows: Evening light suppresses melatonin, the hormone that signals sleep — in one study, even ordinary room light (~100 lux) suppressed melatonin in 99% of people. Dim, warm evenings are one of the most consistent findings in sleep science.
Sources: Sleep Advances meta-analysis · spectral tuning review
Cutting blue wavelengths at night
Strong evidenceWhat it does: Removes short-wavelength "blue" light from the evening environment, keeping only warm tones.
What research shows: The eye's circadian light sensors are most sensitive near 480 nm. Blue-shifted light suppresses melatonin roughly twice as much as warmer light of equal brightness, and bright screens before bed have delayed melatonin onset by more than an hour in study conditions.
Sources: spectral tuning review · blue-light meta-analysis
Fading to true darkness
Strong evidenceWhat it does: As your body settles, the projection dims, slows, and disappears completely.
What research shows: Light helps you wind down — but actual sleep needs darkness, because any light at the moment of sleep onset works against melatonin. That's why Neuro fades to black by design. We will never sell you visuals that play all night.
Sources: evening light meta-analysis · melatonin & light review
Breathing-paced sound
Good evidenceWhat it does: Sound (and light) rise and fall at about six breaths per minute — the body's "resonance" rhythm — gently inviting your breathing to follow.
What research shows: Slow-paced breathing near six breaths per minute increases heart-rate variability and activates the calming branch of the nervous system; a single pre-bed session has been associated with falling asleep faster and fewer night awakenings.
Sources: slow breathing & insomnia · Psychophysiology · HRV biofeedback & sleep
Slow-tempo sedative sound
Good evidenceWhat it does: Calm, lyric-free soundscapes around 60–85 beats per minute during wind-down — paced near your resting heart rate, then gradually slowed.
What research shows: Meta-analyses associate sedative, slow-tempo music before bed with meaningfully improved sleep quality, with larger gains over weeks of consistent use. Sedative music outperforms rhythm-centred music.
Sources: PLOS One meta-analysis · Frontiers in Psychiatry
Adaptive sound masking
Modest evidenceWhat it does: Raises a steady pink-noise backdrop only when a disturbance or restlessness is detected — not a constant drone all night.
What research shows: Honestly: the evidence for noise masking is mixed and of low quality overall. Pink noise looks more promising than white noise, and no short-term harms are reported. That's why masking is an ingredient in Neuro, not the headline.
A loop that learns your nights
Good evidenceWhat it does: Every night produces objective outcomes — how fast you fell asleep, how often you woke, how calm your body became. Neuro tries small variations in sound, pacing, and light, and keeps what measurably works for you.
What research shows: This approach — just-in-time adaptive intervention with each person as their own experiment — is a published, studied method, not a marketing idea. In one microrandomized trial, adaptive sleep feedback was associated with up to 40 minutes of additional sleep. Whether Neuro's implementation delivers similar results is exactly what our validation program exists to measure: [Insert measured product validation data].

What the data unlocks next
The same signals — breathing, heart rhythm, movement, rest state — open methods we're building toward:
Gradual sunrise waking
Good evidencePlannedWhat it does: Light rises slowly over the half hour before you wake, like a private dawn.
What research shows: Dawn simulation has been associated with higher alertness, better mood, and faster reaction times on waking — and improved winter depression across 8 clinical trials, comparably to bright-light therapy.
Sources: dawn simulation & sleep inertia · clinical overview
Waking in lighter sleep
Good evidencePlannedWhat it does: Within a window you choose, the sunrise begins when the radar estimates you're in lighter sleep — not mid-deep-sleep.
What research shows: Waking from lighter sleep is associated with less grogginess (sleep inertia) than waking from deep sleep. Honest caveat: radar estimates sleep depth — it's good, not lab-grade — so we treat the window as guidance, never a guarantee.
Sources: smart-alarm sleep-inertia study
Night-wake care
In developmentWhat it does: When the radar notices a 3 a.m. wake, the room responds — the gentlest version of the same calming methods, instead of you reaching for your phone.
Why we're building it: Night waking is one of the most common and least-served sleep complaints. This applies the methods above to the hardest moment of the night. Its effect is unproven until we test it: [Insert study design & results]
Built on the breathing, masking, and light methods cited above.
And one thing we deliberately don't claim: the most powerful method in the sleep literature — audio pulses timed to deep-sleep brain waves — requires EEG sensing that no bedside radar can do. When something is beyond our hardware, we'll say so, not sell it.
Evidence grades reflect our reading of the current literature. Effects vary by person and study, and linked research supports the methods — it is not proof of Neuro's own outcomes.
Design
Beautiful enough
to sleep next to.
No screens. No status LEDs blinking at 3 a.m. Just a quiet, sculptural object — soft fabric, warm materials, and a presence that disappears when you don't need it.
Wave projector
A soft, customizable water-wave projection — gentle motion designed for winding down, never for stimulation.
Minimal form
A compact bedside silhouette in fabric and matte ceramic that belongs on a nightstand, not in a server rack.
Warm presence
Light that feels like late evening — low, warm, and easy on adapted eyes.
Quiet by design
No screens, no harsh LEDs, no fan noise. The bedroom stays a bedroom.
Personalization
A room that learns
your evenings.
Every night gives Neuro objective feedback — how quickly you settled, how often you stirred, how calm your body became. It tries small variations and gently favors what is associated with calmer nights for you — an approach studied in sleep research as just-in-time adaptive intervention.
- Personal wind-down routines, shaped around your habits
- Custom projection styles — pattern, motion, and palette
- Sound profiles, from slow-tempo soundscapes to steady pink noise
- Adaptive intensity that respects how sensitive you are to light and sound
- No fancy claims — small, measured adjustments, checked against your actual nights
- Privacy-first settings — personalization stays under your control
Privacy
Private by principle.
A device in your bedroom must be held to a higher standard. Neuro is built on the idea that sensing your rest should never mean watching you.
No camera
Radar reads motion and presence — it cannot capture an image of you or your room.
No microphone for sensing
Neuro's sensing does not rely on listening. If any future feature requires a microphone, it will be explicit, optional, and off by default.
No wearable
Nothing on your body. Nothing tracking you when you leave the room.
Privacy-first data design
Biometric signals are handled with a privacy-first architecture, with on-device processing prioritized wherever possible.
You're in control
Clear controls to pause sensing, review settings, and delete your data.
Full transparency
Plain-language documentation of what is sensed, what is stored, and why.
Note: final privacy architecture will be independently reviewed and published before launch.
Why Neuro
A different category.
The sleep-tech market is split down the middle. Half of it senses your body but doesn't act — trackers that measure and advise. The other half changes the room but is blind to you — lights and sound on a timer. A small frontier closes the loop, but through devices you wear to sleep, each acting on a single channel. Neuro is designed to close the loop ambiently: nothing worn, light and sound responding together.
