Train your attention using your own brainwaves. Connect a compatible BrainBit EEG headband and WaveMind turns your live brain activity into feedback you can see and hear. The music swells as you settle into a calm, alert state. The video brightens when you hold it. Drift, and it fades. Nothing to interpret and nothing to score — you just notice, and your attention learns the rest. No headband yet? Start free with the binaural-beat library and guided sessions. LIVE NEUROFEEDBACK • Four-channel EEG from the temples and the back of the head • Sessions for calm-alert focus, easing a mind that is running too hot, and eyes-closed relaxation • Every session opens with a 45-second measurement of your own resting state, so you train against yourself rather than someone else's average • Blinks, movement and jaw tension are filtered out, so noise never counts as progress • Live EEG trace, frequency readout, time-in-target and session history FEEDBACK YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO SIT THROUGH • Video, podcasts organized by show, classic audiobooks, generative fractals and music — the reward is the thing you already wanted to watch or listen to • Brain-training games, including Mind Tree, that grow while you hold your state • Background Mode for eyes-closed practice with the screen off NO HEADBAND REQUIRED • Binaural-beat frequency library • Guided focus and relaxation sessions • Progress tracking and a personal preset library BUILT BY A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST WaveMind is made by BrainFit Studio, a South Carolina wellness practice, and is built on the same session structure its founder uses in his own work — personal baselines, honest signal quality, and feedback that pauses rather than pretends when the signal is not clean. WHAT YOU NEED WaveMind works on its own for binaural beats, guided sessions and games. Live neurofeedback requires a compatible BrainBit or BrainBit 2 EEG headband (Bluetooth LE), sold separately. SUBSCRIPTIONS WaveMind Premium and WaveMind Neurofeedback+ are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
