Calm Abyss
Calm Abyss is an ambient music duo that crafts immersive sound experiences, emphasizing tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structures. Their compositions evoke a sense of tranquility, weaving together serene textures and ethereal harmonies that transport listeners to otherworldly realms. In this sonic landscape, the absence of conventional rhythm and melody allows for deep introspection and a profound connection to the present moment.
The Science Behind the CERA System
FAQ
The CERA System is FDA listed. That is not the same as FDA approved. At the moment, there is no classification for red light therapy as a therapeutic for a brain health condition. We are hoping to do our part in supporting research to change this.
This means that we cannot make claims to cure, prevent, treat or diagnose any brain illness.
CeraThrive Regulatory Overview
USA: FDA Class I Medical Device for Brain Wellness
CeraThrive is categorized as an FDA Class I medical device for brain wellness. This classification reflects its use in supporting brain health and promoting overall wellness through innovative red-light therapy.
Class II Exempt Applications (USA Only)
In the USA, CeraThrive also meets the criteria for Class II (510(k) exempt) medical devices for additional therapeutic applications:
- Wound Healing
- Pain Relief
- Increased Microcirculation
While these classifications demonstrate the versatility of CeraThrive, we primarily focus on its use for brain wellness—helping you elevate your wellness journey through the gut-brain connection.
Outside the USA
In the EU and UK, the CeraThrive system is classified as a consumer electronic device and is not regulated as a medical device. Please note that regulatory classifications and standards vary by country.
FDA Listing: What This Means
CeraThrive is FDA listed, signifying that it complies with FDA regulatory requirements. This listing confirms that the device meets safety and performance standards.
Important Note: FDA listing is not the same as FDA certification or approval. The FDA does not issue certificates for devices like CeraThrive. Instead, listing ensures the device has been registered with the FDA and adheres to applicable regulations.
Wellness Category: From Baseline to Better
CeraThrive is a wellness device designed to help you move from a baseline state to better health and well-being. It is not intended to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose any disease
Important Clarification: Brain Health Devices
Currently, there is no medical device classification for any red-light therapy device intended for brain health. This includes devices that claim to diagnose, cure, or prevent any named disease.
CeraThrive is firmly in the wellness category, offering a safe and natural way to promote better brain and gut health without implying medical treatment.
Using CeraThrive for Your Wellness Journey

No, SAD lamps contain a full spectrum (all colors or wavelengths) of light to mimic the Sun, stimulating a hormonal response. The CERA system uses only red and near infrared light to deliver energy to the body – although the CERA System may help boost mood.
Yes, you can use the CERA Headband without using the CERA Body Panel to target the brain only. We recommend using the devices together for maximum therapeutic effect.
Yes, you can use the CERA Body Panel on joints, limbs and anywhere else you would usually use a red light device. You do not need the CERA App for this.
There is growing scientific evidence to support the use of modulated light to influence brain waves. It may work by entraining the brain to a specific frequency. This is based on the concept of neural entrainment, which suggests that the brain has a natural tendency to synchronize its activity to external rhythmic stimuli.
In the case of modulated light, the rhythmic changes in the light frequency may influence the brain's electrical activity and cause it to synchronize with the frequency of the light. This can result in changes in the amplitude and frequency of brain waves, which can affect cognitive states such as relaxation, focus, and alertness.
Yes! Near infrared light can penetrate bone and reach the outer layer of the brain. The longer the wavelength of light, the deeper the penetration. The CERA Headband contains 3 different wavelengths of near infrared from 850-1070 nm in order to reach the maximal amount of light receptors in the brain.
There are light clusters on the forehead and one that goes one the back of the head under the hairline. The CERA Headband does not cover the whole head. The reason for this is that hair is a barrier for light. The best way to get light to the brain is via the prefrontal cortex on the front part of the brain. The brain is a connected network of neurons and support cells. There is evidence that the therapeutic effect of shining light to the forehead area is brain wide via these connected networks, and by stimulating the blood around the head and body.
BrainTap and CeraThrive differ significantly in their approach to brain wellness. CeraThrive uses red and near-infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) to stimulate long-term healing by promoting cellular repair, improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing ATP production, which supports deeper healing processes. It targets the gut-brain axis for comprehensive wellness.
CeraThrive and BrainTap could potentially complement each other if used together. CeraThrive’s red and near-infrared light therapy focuses on long-term healing by stimulating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and supporting the gut-brain axis, promoting overall brain health and vitality. Meanwhile, BrainTap offers more immediate mental benefits through brainwave entrainment, using audio and pulsed light to promote relaxation, focus, and mental clarity. By combining CeraThrive’s healing properties with BrainTap’s cognitive enhancements, users might experience both long-term brain health benefits and short-term mental performance improvements.
However, consulting with a healthcare professional before using both technologies together would be ideal.BrainTap, on the other hand, utilizes pulsed light combined with audio technology to stimulate the visual cortex and induce brainwave states like relaxation or focus. While BrainTap provides short-term mental enhancements, it is not primarily a healing tool but rather a brainwave entrainment device. CeraThrive is grounded in clinical evidence, using red and near-infrared light therapy for long-term healing by promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation, targeting the gut-brain axis for deep, sustained healing. In contrast, BrainTap is not a healing tool but uses pulsed light and sound technology to stimulate the visual cortex and create temporary brainwave states
