Peer-reviewed
Our mission is grounded in evidence-based science. Below is a selection of peer-reviewed research — including animal, pilot, and early human studies — exploring how vibration, neuromodulation, and dopamine regulation affect brain function, mood, and wellness.
Early mechanistic research has shown changes in dopamine activity following NeuroNova stimulation. Human research is ongoing.
Vibrating specific parts of the body changed the firing of individual brain cells involved in mood and motivation, depending on where and how the vibration was applied.
Read nowIn a rat model, whole-body vibration reduced the neurochemical and behavioral changes seen during withdrawal — early evidence that mechanical stimulation reaches dopamine pathways.
Read nowIn a small human study, heterodyned whole-body vibration lowered self-reported anxiety scores, indicating that activating spinal mechanoreceptors can shift nervous-system state.
Read nowLow-frequency vibration applied to the neck increased dopamine and altered brain cell activity in regions linked to motivation and reward, acting through the body's own opioid and acetylcholine signaling.
Read nowIn a pilot study, beat-frequency vibration shortened the time participants took to fall asleep and increased neural complexity associated with deeper, restorative sleep.
Read nowIn a rat model, mechanical stimulation altered VTA GABA neuron activity and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens — mapping how vibration reaches the brain's reward circuitry.
