When you’re feeling stressed or need a jump start, do you reach for candy, a guilty pleasure that gives you a quick sugar fix, only to be followed by a greater drop in energy once the high wears off? If that’s the case, look no further then Eye Candy, a new type of candy that doesn’t use sugar to achieve it’s end result, but rather relies on cutting edge sensory substitution technology.

The brain, with all it’s wonderful complexity, is after all a series of circuits which can be fooled into believing in things that don’t really exist. That is the basic principal behind Eye Candy.

Each of your five bodily senses send information to the brain at different frequencies. Depending upon the frequency, the brain can recognize where the information is coming from and will provide the correct response. For instance, frequencies from the eyes are converted into mental images.

Eye Candy, a USB device, when placed on the surface of the tongue, emits a frequency similar to sight. This in turn fools the brain into thinking that the frequency is coming from the eyes and as a result displays images.

Eye Candy comes in six varieties depending upon what you want to achieve. Choices include Relax, Socialize, Assert, Meditate, Overcome, and Focus.
