Advancing Meditation Practice & Science

The Institute for Meditation Brainwave Research was founded to extend the science of meditation using Crowd-sourced Citizen Science. We offer a sophisticated easy to use app to help serious meditators go deeper, faster while contributing their brainwaves to academic researchers.

The Invitation

Deepen your practice while contributing to the largest, most comprehensive study of meditation brainwaves ever.

After 50 years of research, science has not yet cracked the code on the brainwave patterns of deep meditation. We're looking for 1000 committed meditators with a regular practice to contribute their brainwaves to meditation science.

You'll get a detailed readout on your brainwaves, practical suggestions for going deeper in your meditation, and that warm fuzzy feeling that you're making the world a better place.

Donate Your Brainwaves to Science

GoDeeper is the IMBR's vision for a unified platform to help meditators of all stripes to go deeper, faster. Hundreds of apps take a one-size-fits-all approach to meditation; we are actively collecting data and building feedback protocols for 21 different styles of meditation and four levels of expertise.

In this phase of the project, we're looking for committed meditators with a regular practice to get early access to the app and use it to track their meditation sessions.


Successful contributors will get:
Access to the research app with training feedback for up to 6 months

Why GoDeeper?

Become an IMBR Contributor and...


Your brainwaves will be used to improve meditation science

Get in-depth reports on your brainwaves in each session

Receive tips on how to deepen your practice based on your brainwaves


All you have to do is continue with your regular meditation practice while wearing a Muse headband and tap on your phone's screen to indicate when you are emerging from a deep moment.

How IMBR uses GoDeeper to Advance Meditation Science

  • Massively Scaling Data Collection

    It's hard for meditation scientists to get enough brain data labelled by style, experience, and depth. IMBR solves this problem with the GoDeeper app.

  • Sharpening Neurofeedback Protocols

    We synthesize academic research with our massive dataset to refine neurofeedback protocols for more effective meditation.

  • Publishing Results & Underlying Data

    IMBR affiliated data scientists will replicate and extend meditation studies using classical statistical methods and AI deep learning.
