NEURO_PLAY

NEURO_PLAY PROTOCOL

// PLAIN LANGUAGE (THE GOAL)

This is "Video Games for Cats." It uses 3D sound to mimic the movement of birds or insects scurrying around the room. Since indoor cats often become depressed and bored (leading to destructive behavior), NEURO_PLAY gives them a way to "hunt" using only their ears. It burns off mental energy and keeps their instincts sharp without you having to lift a finger.

// SYSTEM BENEFITS

• Mental Exhaustion: High-speed auditory tracking is as tiring as physical running for a cat.
• Stops Destruction: Bored cats scratch furniture; stimulated cats rest.
• Enrichment: Mimics the natural environment of an outdoor predator within the safety of your home.

// DEEP SCIENCE (THE MECHANISM)

NEURO_PLAY leverages research into Species-Specific Music and Stimuli (Snowdon et al., 2015). We have engineered an auditory engine that emits "Prey-Drive Vectors." By modulating the gain and panning of 12kHz–16kHz square waves, we create a phantom sound that appears to scurry, stop, and flutter.

Felines have highly evolved Auditory Pinnae (outer ears) that allow them to triangulate sound with incredible precision. Tracking these "invisible vectors" engages the feline's primary hunting cycle—Stalk, Track, and Focus—releasing dopamine and serotonin in the brain, which leads to a more satisfied, peaceful animal.
