Shows promise (first impressions). As I write this (in early Jan 2024) the app is still unfinished and in a beta-stage of development. That's not criticism, just know going in that it is unpolished. PsydMind purports to employ a variety of scientific research to facilitate the inducement of altered consciousness. What PsydMind is promising is grounded in real science. VR Titles like Soundself or Deep States expertly employ a similar scientific approach and are great examples of highly effective (for many) tools to induce altered/meditative/hypnotic states.
I tested the "Focus" module and wasn't given any options for session parameters (e.g. time, audio, visuals). The visuals were artistic and interesting (albeit low-polygon). A pleasant but unobtrusive instrumental tune accompanied the visuals.
Here's where the experience started falling apart for me. You go in blind (no apparent options or intro in the menu). You don't know how long it will last, you don't know if there's any guided narration--you don't know anything. Once it begins you see some interesting graphics and hear the music. After about 5 minutes, the song fades out, and then the same song repeats. Then the graphics conclude and a new graphic scenario begins. Rinse & repeat countless times. I think I sat in the Focus module for 20+ minutes--all the while listening to what seemed the exact same song. Every time the graphic scenario concluded I expected the experience to end. It just kept going with new graphical vignettes and the same song over and over and over.
What I described sounds pretty harsh, but I chalk this up to it being beta. The overall presentation of the app looks decent--it just needs a lot of polish. I'll test every module and re-write this review. What PsydMind aspires to is interesting, but it is too early to say definitively if they can pull it off. Absolutely check it out. I wish the dev team the best!
