Overview
How does it work?
MyOm headband is a patent pending technology based on EEG and neurofeedback. It senses the amount of randomness in thoughts and generates Om chants of variable length as audio. A shorter Om indicates a chattering mind whereas a longer Om indicates a calm mind.
It consists of three dry electrodes and an onboard microprocessor. The electrodes sense signals from prefrontal cortex region (forehead) of the brain. The onboard microprocessor filters the signals, establishes the relation between meditation level and length of an Om chant, and generates the cosmic vibrations of Om in real time instead of playing a pre-recorded audio file.

Why MyOm for meditation?
A beginner faces difficulty in starting the journey of meditation. There is usually no tangible feedback in mental training unlike physical training such as biceps, strong core and so on. Hence, building mental balance is often aimless and frustrating for a beginner.
MyOm headband provides feedback in meditation and helps him as a trainer. Moreover, the smart Om chanting reduces anxiety and builds patience. The positive feedback cycle of lengthening Om chants puts a beginner on the right track of his meditation journey.
Why Om as feedback?
Om is a sacred sound which has been a dominant chant in the vedic history to generate healing effects. The holy words - Om, Ameen and Amen as well as buddhist singing bowl generate the same audible frequency which is a harmonic of the cosmic vibration. This frequency of creation has calming effects on the mind and disperses the negative thoughts. Repetitive Om chanting leads to transcendental meditation.
