There is a new meditation app out called Transcend.
It is only available in android version right now, but it has been submitted to the Apple App Store, so it shouldn’t be too long before it is available in that format as well.
It does require a MindWave Mobile headset in order to gather read neurofeedback data. The App is 4.99, and the starter kit for the headset is $99.99.
This headset uses bluetooth technology to transfer the data to your computer and/or mobile device.
If you are a REAL geek, you can even use some free developmental tools to write your own programs! Check out the headset here.
Most meditation apps do not have the ability to measure your neural activity, but Transcend – uh – transcends those restrictions to let you track your meditation over time.
Using the metrics captured Transcend can let you know when you are successful in your practice, or whether you might benefit from trying a different kind of meditation.
Not only that, but it will tell you what form of meditation you might want to try next! THen you can turn around and track that too!
We are all aware that regular meditation can help reduce the effects of stress, normalize blood pressure, among many other benefits.
