Welcome to Attune
Where Neuroscience
Meets Mindfulness
Attune uses real-time EEG and audio feedback to tell you exactly when your attention sharpens and when your mind starts to wander, so every session becomes science-based training for deep focus and genuine relaxation.

How Attune Works
Your Brain has a Focus Signal. Attune Reads It
Traditional apps measure how long you sit still. Attune uses real-time EEG to detect the neural shifts that happen when you focus and when you wander. By providing audio feedback based on your occipital alpha power, Attune helps you identify the internal state of focused attention. It is professional-grade neurofeedback designed to make mental training transparent and objective.

How Attune Works
About the Method
Closed-Eyes Visual Attention Meditation (CEVAM)
Attune is built on a unique protocol 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 typically associated with 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 responds with immediate auditory feedback. This direct neural feedback loop helps you notice distraction the moment it happens, allowing you to return to center and train your brain for sustained, objective focus.
How It Works: 3 Steps to Objective Focus
Connect & Calibrate
- Put on your BrainBit headband. It connects to Attune via Bluetooth in seconds.
- No gels, no wires, and no complex calibration rituals just science-grade EEG measurements.
Train with Real-Time Feedback
- Choose the CEVAM Focus Protocol to sharpen your attention.
- As you tune into the visual space behind your eyelids, Attune monitors your occipital alpha power.
- Receive an immediate audio feedback the moment your focus drifts allowing you to recognize distractions before they take over.
Review Your Session Data
- End every session with clear, objective insights.
- See exactly how long you sustained deep focus, when your mind wandered, and how your performance trends over time.
- Move beyond streak counters to actual brain data that shows your progress.
The Result
With regular training, you’ll become more skilled at detecting subtle distractions and strengthening your attention backed by data, not just feeling.
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 Alpha-Up neurofeedback method, which rewards increases in alpha brainwaves a signal typically associated with 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 this shift toward deep relaxation.
With consistent training, this protocol helps your brain access relaxed states more easily providing objective confirmation that you have actually unwound, not just sat still. It is ideal for winding down, reducing stress, or finding a moment of calm backed by your own neural data.

F.A.Q
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 have recently started a formal research project in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to replicate these findings in a larger sample. Follow-up studies will investigate longer-term (longitudinal) effects.
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.
Can I use other EEG headbands like Muse?
At this moment, no. To provide clinical-grade feedback, Attune specifically requires high-quality sensors placed at the back of the head (occipital lobes). This is where alpha brainwave activity the key indicator of focused attention is most clearly detected. Most consumer devices, like Muse, focus primarily on the forehead, which doesn’t meet our requirements for the precision we aim to provide.
What happens after the 7-day free trial?
After your trial ends, you will automatically transition to our monthly subscription of $20. This grants you continued full access to all CEVAM and Alpha-Up protocols, real-time feedback, and detailed session analytics. We want you to feel completely in control, so there are no long-term contracts you can cancel your subscription at any time with just a few clicks in the app.
