N.B. The Depth Progress screen does not turn on unless a protocol is depth certified. To certify a protocol, we need at least 200 sessions that have been statistically analyzed to certify a set of metrics as a reliable indicator of depth for that protocol. The Depth Progress chart is the primary graph for measuring… Read more Progress: Depth

Reviewing Session Results
Metrics Report Card These are metrics that are the ones meditation science expects are most relevant for your practice and level of expertise. Under each metric, we explain which way they are supposed to go and how they contribute to a deeper meditation. The arrow says which way the metric went, the color says whether… Read more Reviewing Session Results
Audio Settings Help
How do you know which zone you are in with your eyes closed? If you are in the blue zone for 5 seconds in a row, you get reward sounds for as long as you stay there. It is important that you pick a reward sound that pleases you a great deal. In GoDeeper settings… Read more Audio Settings Help
Setting the Reward Slider
Neurofeedback researchers have found that brain training works best when we are rewarded about 60-80% of the time. The Goldilocks point is different for each person. After you pick a new protocol, we calibrate that protocol for five minutes to create thresholds that a target a reward rate based on your level of proficiency. Level… Read more Setting the Reward Slider
Progress: Lifetime
This tab shows your lifetime achievement for all the sessions since you last reset the app. It shows how many days in a row you have meditated and what your longest streak is.
GoDeeper vs. Muse Calibration
Both Mesa and GoDeeper need a sample of your baseline normal consciousness brainwaves. Both apps use the difference between your baseline brainwaves and your meditation brainwaves to measure your depth of meditation. For example, some people naturally have more alpha or beta thus calibration allows us to take that into account when measuring depth. Muse… Read more GoDeeper vs. Muse Calibration
Learn about protocols
What is a Meditation Protocol? A meditation protocol is a set of metrics that we use to calculate meditation depth. The oldest and simplest protocol for meditation is to measure the amplitude of alpha waves (8-12 Hz) as a measure of meditation depth. For example, if all four sensors were all receiving 7 microvolts of… Read more Learn about protocols
Tips for Getting a Good Signal
Before you record a baseline or do a meditation training session, GoDeeper must first do a Signal check to make sure that the Muse is giving it a clear EEG signal. There are four ovals corresponding to each of the four sensors on the Muse. A new row of ovals appears each second to indicate… Read more Tips for Getting a Good Signal
