Dopaband
A wearable for regulating baseline sensory reward through physical actuation.
Dopaband is a physical wearable designed to stabilize baseline sensory reward through controlled mechanical stimuli. Rather than tracking emotional states or interpreting neurological data, the device operates at the level of the body: compression, vibration, warmth, and rhythmic motion. These inputs correspond to well-documented pathways of dopaminergic and serotonergic regulation, offering a low-resolution but continuous form of sensory balance. Built as a modular, Arduino-driven prototype, Dopaband prioritizes physical reliability, mechanical clarity, and embodied interaction over digital interpretation.
