Find your Focus with Neuphony – A Wearable EEG Device
Now you can use different techniques of mindfulness without Meditation Headband. Neupony is a headband similar to a Brain EEG device, which measures your brain waves and informs you when you are off track. When you enter deep meditative states, your brain develops different brain wave frequencies, like Alpha, Beta, Theta, Gamma, and Delta. During meditation, the brain tends to go into Theta wave frequency. This headband lets you know the state of mind you are in and directs you to the desired frequency throughout the entire process.
Benefits of Meditation
Meditation provides a long list of fruitful benefits, some of them are:
- Meditating effectively helps a person get better and sound sleep which is necessary for proper functioning of the mind as well as of the body.

Improve Focus
Getting distracted is easy for our mind, all it takes is one stray thought. Distractions eat up so much of our time and mental resources that either we are left feeling overwhelmed or incompetent.

- Identity these distractions, when they happen
- Control your attention consciously using Focus exercise
- Real time feedback to help you stay on your point of focus
- It’s like going to a mental gym and training your brain muscles to help you concentrate.
Reduce Anxiety and Stress
We are evolved in a way that we are susceptible to self-induced stress. If our brain thinks of a past traumatic experience our body experiences the event as if it is happening right now, and anxiety is our body’s response to stress.
Neuphony creates a brain map of your cognitive state to help you:
- Identify the emotional triggers
- Break the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings feeding off each other
- Mindfulness exercises, which help you observe all your thoughts without getting attached to particular one
- Auditory feedback if you get stuck on a thought and couldn’t let go

- Slowly guide and train your brain to take a break
- Create awareness about the Inner working of your mind
