1. An apparatus for neural stimulation, the apparatus comprising:
a head device configured to be worn on a head of a user, the head device comprising:
an opaque screen configured to prevent outside light from reaching eyes of the user;
at least one light-emitting device configured to provide photic entrainment to the user, wherein the at least one light-emitting device is integrated with the opaque screen;
at least one control module electrically connected to the at least one light-emitting device and configured to receive one or more stimulatory commands, wherein the at least one control module is configured to operate the at least one light-emitting device as a function of the one or more stimulatory commands; and
at least one transcranial focused ultrasound device (TFUD), the at least one TFUD configured to provide neural stimulation to the user as a function of the one or more stimulatory commands; and
at least one computing device communicatively connected to the head device, the at least one computing device comprising;
a processor; and
a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to:
receive user data, wherein the user data comprises information relating to a neural state of the user;
generate the one or more stimulatory commands as a function of the user data, wherein generating the one or more stimulatory commands comprises determining the neural state of the user and using the neural state and/or a user input to determine whether the user is awake or asleep; and
transmit the one or more stimulatory commands to the head device, wherein the one or more stimulatory commands comprise a command to power on the at least one light-emitting device to provide photic entrainment to the user when the user is determined to be asleep and/or to power on the at least one TFUD and provide neural stimulation to the user when the user is determined to be asleep.
