OUR JOURNEY
From Science to DreamPhones.
It began with one question: Can brain science help us focus and rest better?
1998
The Question
Professor Robert Desimone and medical students explore neuromodulation to improve focus and bring brain science into everyday life.
2005
The Proof
The FDA approves VNS for treatment-resistant depression, a milestone in clinical neuromodulation.
2018
Beyond the Clinic
Our team brings ear-based, non-invasive VNS (taVNS) into brain-computer interface research for everyday life.
2024
The Breakthrough
Dozerelax makes taVNS wearable, comfortable, and practical for everyday use.
2025
First Generation
Our first product launches, reaching 1,000+ paying pilot customers whose feedback shapes what's next.
