Reward Loop

A gym for the brain - digitizing brain activity associated with PTSD, giving patients an active role in learning to control brain biomarker activity and improve their symptoms.

Experience Designer

As a Unity designer of this immersive therapeutic research of PTSD patients, I was jumping into the deep. Understanding what the Reward loop means first was a must. Therefore I’ve conducted meetings with the founders of the company: Prof. Talma Hendler and Mr. Rani Cohen for a serious drill downs in the materia. Understanding the responsibility at hand (creating a simulation for patinates) I’ve first mapped the design concept here. VFX Graph, Unity’s node based particle system as a unique quality to give compelling massages and this is what I did in this project.
