1. A system for altering brainwaves, the system comprising:
a first stimulus emitter comprising a plurality of lights arranged in an array, wherein the plurality of lights are configured to direct light towards a user; and
a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
control the first stimulus emitter to emit a first stimulus at a first intensity and a first oscillation frequency,
control the first stimulus emitter to adjust the first stimulus to a second oscillation frequency,
control a second stimulus emitter, comprising at least one sound emitter configured to direct sound towards a user, to emit a second stimulus at a second intensity and a third oscillation frequency, and
control the second stimulus emitter to adjust the second stimulus to a fourth oscillation frequency,
wherein the array is divided into a plurality of zones comprising a first zone having a first plurality of lights and a second zone having a second plurality of lights,
wherein the first zone is a foveal zone configured to emit the first stimulus to a foveal area of an eye of the user, wherein the second zone is a peripheral zone configured to emit the first stimulus to a peripheral area of the eye of the user,
wherein the first stimulus emitted from the foveal zone is controlled independently from the first stimulus emitted from the peripheral zone, and
wherein the oscillation frequency of the foveal zone is different than the oscillation frequency of the peripheral zone.
