Recorded EEG and sound.
The current software can work with a recorded EEG sample and readable local music, providing a concrete way to test the research path.
A human question.
An app taking shape.
What could happen if the brain received a gentle reflection of its own activity, through something as familiar as music?
“A mirror for your mind” is the idea we’re exploring: feedback that makes room for learning, without asking you to perform a particular state.
From an idea to an experience.
The Noticing Mind is led by James Brady. It brings together his interest in brain training, EEG, music, and the possibility of learning outside deliberate effort.
The work combines a native iOS interface, experimental signal analysis, recorded-EEG playback, and investigation of a real headset connection. Codex is being used to help research, build, and test the software, with the product’s claims grounded in what has actually been demonstrated.
The website brings that work into one place: the intended experience, real development screens, scientific context, and a way to join the conversation.
A native listening experience.
The updated iPhone app uses the shared reflection logo and a guided Home for headset setup, music and preview. Research playback and advanced hardware tools remain clearly identified.
The complete live loop.
Real headset signal quality, timing at the ears, and learning outcomes require their own evidence.

For reviewers and collaborators.
This project is being prepared for an OpenAI competition submission. No acceptance, award, partnership, or endorsement is implied. The interactive website demo illustrates the feedback concept; the screenshots show the actual app in development. Private development material and research details are available through James when appropriate.
The ambition is meaningful brain training. The current result is an experimental software system whose real-world effects remain to be tested.
Stay curious.
Stay in the loop.
