How Attune Works
Meditation Reinvented
Attune introduces a new paradigm in meditation by shifting from traditional breath-focused meditation to engaging internal visual perception with eyes closed. By engaging your visual attention internally, Attune leverages natural brain activity to provide immediate, precise feedback on your level of focus. Rather than guessing whether you’re maintaining your attention, you’ll know instantly when your mind begins to wander, allowing you to gently return to a state of deep focus and mental clarity. This method accelerates your ability to stabilize attention, deepen mindfulness, and enhance your overall meditation experience.

How Attune Works
About the Method
Closed-Eyes Visual Attention Meditation (CEVAM)
Attune is built on a unique technique called Closed-Eyes Visual Attention Meditation (CEVAM) a method that taps into your brain’s visual system to train focused attention.
When you close your eyes, your visual cortex the part of the brain responsible for processing visual input begins to go offline. This shift is marked by a dramatic increase in alpha brainwaves in the back of the brain. Alpha activity is associated with relaxed, unfocused states.
However, when you actively direct your attention toward your internal visual field the dark space behind your closed eyelids you re-engage your visual cortex. This reduces alpha activity, especially in the occipital region, indicating renewed mental focus.
Attune detects these subtle shifts in real-time using an EEG headband. When your alpha activity increases (signaling mind-wandering), Attune gently responds with auditory feedback a sound or musical change that immediately alerts you. This helps you notice distraction the moment it happens and return to a focused state.
What to Expect in a Session
Sit comfortably and close your eyes
Tune in to the dark visual space behind your eyelids
Let go of thoughts and gently observe subtle textures, shapes, or light within
Receive real-time feedback through sound or music your brain is guiding your meditation
End with clear insights into how long you stayed focused and when your mind wandered
With regular practice, you’ll become more skilled at detecting subtle distractions and strengthening your attention on and off the cushion.
Teach Your Brain to Relax
Relaxation with Alpha-Up Neurofeedback
In contrast to CEVAM, Attune’s Relaxation Protocol helps you unwind by gently guiding your brain toward calm, open awareness. This protocol is based on the well-established Alpha-Up neurofeedback method, which rewards increases in alpha brainwaves a signal your brain produces when you're in a relaxed, unfocused state. Rather than concentrating attention inward, the Alpha-Up protocol encourages you to let go of effort, allowing thoughts to drift and the mind to settle. As your alpha activity increases, Attune provides subtle auditory cues to reinforce the state of deep relaxation. With consistent use, this protocol helps your brain learn how to access relaxed states more easily ideal for winding down, reducing stress, or simply finding a moment of calm.

To use Attune, you’ll need the BrainBit
EEG headband
A lightweight, wireless device that measures brain activity in real time.
Attune specifically uses the two occipital electrodes (at the back of the head) to monitor your alpha brainwave activity, which plays a key role in the CEVAM method.
The BrainBit connects seamlessly to the Attune app via Bluetooth. It’s comfortable to wear, requires no gel or sticky electrodes, and delivers high-quality EEG signals in just seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Attune unique?
Attune uses real‑time EEG to detect a robust neural correlate of mind‑wandering vs. focus: occipital alpha power with eyes closed. With our CEVAM method (Closed‑Eyes Visual Attention Meditation), you get immediate audio feedback the moment your attention drifts. We also include an Alpha‑Up Neurofeedback protocol to train relaxation.
How does Attune measure focus and relaxation?
Attune records EEG from O1 and O2 (back of the head).
- CEVAM (focus): When you keep your eyes closed and actively attend to visual experience (the “dark field”), occipital alpha power drops. We interpret that drop—relative to your eyes‑closed baseline—as increased focus.
- Relaxation protocol: Here, we do the opposite—higher alpha with eyes closed is rewarded as a marker of relaxed wakefulness.
Your Alpha Factor (eyes‑closed alpha ÷ eyes‑open alpha) from the baselines ensures we can measure both reliably.
Do I need a BrainBit headband?
Yes. Attune requires the BrainBit headband to capture the EEG signals we use for feedback.
Has Attune been tested?
Yes. The CEVAM method is based on a pilot study showing large, immediate alpha decreases during focused visual attention with eyes closed for most participants. We’re actively extending validation with larger samples and longitudinal outcomes.
Is Attune suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. The app adapts difficulty automatically, provides clear instructions, and you can start with shorter sessions (10–15 min).
When should I meditate?
- CEVAM / Focused Attention: Preferably morning or afternoon (not too sleepy).
- Relaxation (Alpha‑Up): Great for late afternoon or evening to unwind.
