GoDeeper Research App

The GoDeeper Research App is for experienced meditators participating in a large-scale brainwave study. We are seeking 1,000 meditators to contribute at least 10 sessions each to help researchers better understand what happens in the brain during deep meditation.

Using InteraXon's lightweight Muse™ Headband, GoDeeper records your brainwave activity during your normal practice. After each session, you answer 15 short multiple-choice questions. We analyze your brainwaves and reported experience together to provide practical suggestions for deepening your meditation.

Must be at least 18 years old
At least 1 year of regular practice, 4+ hours/month
Meditate 3+ times/week for 20+ minutes/session
Contribute at least 10 sessions per month
Each valid session: minimum 20 minutes with at least 4 depth/distraction taps
Answer 15 questions after each session
Own, borrow, or rent a Muse™ Headband

Marking Session Depth

Tap your phone screen to flag key transitions, so they can be compared with your brain activity.

No need to tap while deeply absorbed.

What You Get

Personalized Feedback - personalized, brainwave-based feedback on your practice
Research Contribution - the satisfaction of contributing to a real dataset on how brainwave patterns relate to meditation practice, experience, and subjective states
