A New Category of Therapeutic Experience

Mayatra uses immersive mixed reality to simulate the visual and sensory perceptual effects associated with ketamine therapy. Originally developed for research and clinical environments, the platform allows providers to deliver guided perceptual sessions through a mixed reality headset and companion tablet interface.

Experience Mayatra

Sessions typically last 20–40 minutes and are designed to evoke subtle perceptual shifts that support reflection, emotional processing, and mental reset.
