The brain generates rhythms naturally. One way to confirm this is to record the brain's electrical activity. This electrical activity results from the passage of ions (particles with positive or negative charge, such as sodium and chloride, the components of salt) across brain cell membranes. EEG (electroencephalography), a painless and harmless technique using wires (electrodes) placed on the scalp to record this activity, has been around for nearly a century. EEG reveals that much of a healthy brain's electrical activity is rhythmic, not random.

Athletes know that performance isn't just about physical strength or stamina. Mental focus, resilience, and emotional control are just as critical when the pressure is on. Yet most wearables on the market still focus on heart rate, steps, or calories, leaving the brain's role in training largely invisible. For anyone who's ever lost focus at a crucial moment or wondered why a session just didn't click, there's finally a new tool that brings mental fitness into the spotlight.

I've spent the past two decades investigating how mindfulness can transform the brain and promote healing from addiction, chronic pain, and emotional distress-the diseases of despair. Today, I'm proud to share findings that reveal how MORE can help foster recovery in the brain in powerful and measurable ways. In this study, published in the top journal Science Advances, we examined data from four experiments involving 135 adults who were taking opioids daily for chronic pain.
