Attune Subscription

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.

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.

Yes. Attune requires the BrainBit headband to capture the EEG signals we use for feedback.

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.

Absolutely. The app adapts difficulty automatically, provides clear instructions, and you can start with shorter sessions (10–15 min).

• CEVAM / Focused Attention: Preferably morning or afternoon (not too sleepy).
• Relaxation (Alpha‑Up): Great for late afternoon or evening to unwind.
