Case Study Analysis: Week Two Trial of M.I.R.A. Device
Case Study Analysis: Week Two Trial of M.I.R.A. Device
Participant MJ71 – Longitudinal Observation and Use Report
Participant Profile
Code: MJ71
Age: 54
Sex: Female
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Medical History: Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Perimenopause
Relevant Background: Long-term practitioner of mindfulness and meditation with intermittent lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, and biphasic sleep patterns. The participant also has a history of seizure activity (two lifetime episodes) and is responsive to vibrational and sound-based wellness tools.
Purpose of Week Two Evaluation
The objective of the continued trial was to observe longer-term trends in subjective sleep quality, dream recall, and physical/emotional regulation while using M.I.R.A., particularly in a participant with complex chronic health conditions. Week One had shown promising results. Week Two aimed to identify:
- Consistency of effects
- Impact of environmental and positional variables
- Extended physiological or emotional responses over 14 days
Key Observations (January 10–23, 2026)
1. Sleep Quality
- Improved sleep depth and duration, especially on Days 1, 3, 6, and 7.
- Multiple full nights of uninterrupted sleep, rare for this participant.
- Lessened morning grogginess ("hit by a truck" sensation).
- Even on disrupted nights (e.g. Day 8), the device was described as calming and supportive.
2. Physical Effects
- Consistent "weighted blanket" effect provided calming body sensation.
- Reduction in joint stiffness, especially when M.I.R.A. was oriented toward the feet.
- Body cues such as stillness and breath awareness were enhanced.
3. Dream Activity & Consciousness Shifts
- Vivid dreams returned throughout the trial.
- Time dilation ("time slowing down") occurred during deep meditation (Day 10).
- Light reflections from the crystal pyramid created visual engagement when the device was placed on the chest.
4. Behavioral & Emotional Effects
- Natural reduction in screen time observed.
- Replaced anxiety-driven evening habits with meditative routine.
- Morning meditations with M.I.R.A. improved mood and clarity.
Environmental & Variable Analysis
| Variable | Observed Impact |
|---|---|
| Total Darkness | Negative: Disorientation and difficulty re-entering sleep. |
| Ambient Light | Positive: Natural time cues supported circadian rhythm stability. |
| Device Placement (Head) | Neutral: Induced relaxation but no additional physical benefits. |
| Device Placement (Feet) | Positive: Associated with better sleep and less stiffness. |
| Direct Contact (Chest) | Enhanced meditative visuals and depth of focus. |
Emergent Phenomena
- Animal Response: Pet cat consistently drew close to the device, potentially indicating electromagnetic or resonance effects.
- Tinnitus: Mild increase during active sessions, likely from frequency resonance. Should be monitored in seizure-sensitive users.
- Theta/Delta States: Reports of "time slowing" suggest entrance into deeper meditative brainwave states.
Summary of Week Two Outcomes
- Reliable improvements in sleep quality and consistency.
- Reduced evening screen time and improved bedtime habits.
- Physical relief from fibromyalgia-related symptoms on some nights.
- Consistent emotional calming and meditative assistance.
User Suggestions and Development Recommendations
- Breath-Paced Lighting: Add light rhythms matched to breath cycles (e.g., box breathing) to aid in relaxation.
- Orientation Guidance: Recommend placement options for targeting pain areas (e.g., near feet for fibromyalgia).
- Moonlight Mode: Soft ambient glow to avoid full darkness disorientation.
- Sound Option: Optional white/pink noise to mask any tinnitus from resonance.
- Symptom Tracker: Include logs for hormonal fluctuations or flareups during longer trials.
This second-week analysis of M.I.R.A. usage by Participant MJ71 confirmed its value as a supportive wellness device for individuals with chronic pain and disrupted sleep. The consistency in sleep improvement, sensory feedback, and emotional grounding points to the potential for broader applications in personal wellness, particularly with customizable features and education on positioning. These results warrant continued testing and future integration of user-driven feedback into the product roadmap.
