Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) is a powerful mental fitness tool that enhances communication between brain regions, promotes neuroplasticity, and calms the nervous system. In this video, Matt Swartz, Chief Flow Officer at Recess, explains how BLS helps users reach a "flow state"—a peak mental condition that boosts creativity, focus, and productivity.
At Recess, our brain-based model is rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience. We harness the brain’s natural ability to adapt and grow—neuroplasticity—to create lasting mental and emotional strength.
Activates both hemispheres of the brain to process and release traumatic stress
Guides you in reshaping negative thought patterns into positive ones.
Enhances your ability to maintain emotional balance even in challenging situations
Strengthens neural pathways, ensuring long-term mental
resilience and well-being
Our research department is dedicated to researching and publishing papers on the neuroscience of flow state and bilateral stimulation.
The Recess scientific team are Phds and Masters degrees in psychology, neuroscience, data analysis. At Recess we are committed to add to the library of compassion fatigue, neuroscience and trauma informed psychology towards a better equitably economic future.
