THE PLATFORM

Make the relationships programmable.

Brain Storm is building a common research platform for creating, delivering, perturbing, and studying multisensory patterns across space, time, modality, and embodied coordinates.

THE DURABLE ARCHITECTURE

One architecture. Many experiments.

A durable public architecture keeps experimental intent, pattern definition, coordinates, outputs, and measurement connected without binding the platform to one device or one modality.

Protocol

Define the experimental question, conditions, sequence, and parameters.

→

↓

Pattern Engine

Specify what happens, when it happens, and how events relate.

→

↓

Coordinate System

Define where events occur in relation to the body and surrounding space.

→

↓

Output Adapters

Deliver events through independently programmable modalities.

Measurement & Logging

Record what was delivered, what was observed, and what changed.

Open architecture. Extensible modalities.

INSIDE THE DURABLE ARCHITECTURE

From coordinate to response.

A programmable experiment becomes useful only if the system can distinguish what was referenced, what was commanded, what actually occurred, and what was observed afterward.

EXECUTION / MEASUREMENT PIPELINE

Coordinate Source

Where the reference comes from.

Transform

How one coordinate representation is related to another.

Target

Where an event is intended to occur.

Perturbation

What programmable change is commanded.

Timestamp

When the event and related state changes occur.

Observation

What the system measures or records.

Response

What changes in behavior, performance, perception, or other measured outcomes.

INTERCHANGEABLE SOURCES

Coordinate sources can change without rewriting the experiment’s underlying intent.

DISTINCT REPRESENTATIONS

Physical / metric coordinates remain distinguishable from rendered / virtual coordinates.

EXPLICIT TRANSFORMS

Relationships between coordinate representations are defined rather than assumed.

FIRST-CLASS TARGETS

The intended destination remains identifiable before and after a perturbation.

DETERMINISTIC PERTURBATIONS

Programmable changes are commanded explicitly and repeatably.

EVIDENCE INFRASTRUCTURE

Event identifiers and timestamps connect commands to recorded state without claiming unvalidated timing precision.

SEPARABLE RECORDS

Commanded outputs, observations, and responses remain distinct.

MODALITY INDEPENDENCE

Visual, audio, tactile, and future modalities retain independent control.

Program the event. Preserve the evidence trail.

MODALITY CONTROL

Independence matters.

Multisensory does not mean that every channel must do the same thing at the same time.

Visual, audio, tactile, and future modalities are designed to remain independently programmable.

They can be coordinated when an experiment requires coordination.

They can remain separate when an experiment requires independence.

They can lead, follow, overlap, compete, shift, or change relationships over time.

Controlled conditions. Programmable relationships. Measurable responses.

INTERFACE-FIRST PLATFORM

The platform should outlive the device.

Brain Storm is designed around interfaces rather than one permanent hardware stack.

Current spatial-computing, sensing, audio, and haptic systems can evolve.

New coordinate sources, output devices, sensors, measurement systems, and future modalities should be able to attach without redefining the experimental protocol itself.

CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION

Apple Vision Pro is the current spatial-computing environment used to develop and test portions of the platform.

Implementation environment, not permanent product identity.

The current development focus is a single-user experimental platform.

EVIDENCE STATE

What exists today.

DEMONSTRATED

Built, tested, and directly observable in the current prototype.

Apple Vision Pro spatial prototype

Tracked hand coordinates demonstrated in the current prototype.

Independently routed visual and spatial-audio events

Ordered multisensory patterns

Programmable tempo

Controlled audio / visual lead-lag relationships

IN DEVELOPMENT

Actively being engineered and integrated.

Independently programmable fingerpad tactile integration

Broader Pattern Engine / protocol architecture

Research-facing console

Richer measurement / logging / export

INVESTIGATING

Research questions and potential effects under study.

Behavioral, performance, clinical, adaptive, and broader coordination effects

A COMMON EXPERIMENTAL GRAMMAR

Different hypotheses. A common programmable substrate.

Brain Storm is not intended to force researchers into one theory or one sensory recipe.

The platform is intended to provide a consistent way to express, execute, measure, and compare different experiments.
