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.
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 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.

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.
