Help Shape the Future of Meditation Research
Science meets lived experience
Join an international research programme exploring how guided meditation influences the brain, nervous system and wellbeing over time.
The Seasonal Integration Method™ Research Programme is a long-term study exploring how guided meditation influences the brain, nervous system, behaviour and wellbeing over time.
By combining EEG recordings, participant reflections and seasonal wellbeing data, we are building one of the first evidence bases examining meditation through the lens of seasonal adaptation.
Every meditation contributes to a growing understanding of how people regulate stress, develop resilience and create lasting change.
To join the programme, you must own an EEG monitor ie a Muse Headband and Mind Monitor
Why this research matters
Nervous System
Discover how regular practice supports regulation and recovery.
Brain
Understand how meditation changes brain activity.
Human Experience

Personal Reports Generated
What you'll receive
Personal EEG reports - not just the graphs and rounded numbers given with many of the appliance apps - we convert the raw CSV data into something you will understand.
These reports include:
Visual brainwave graphs, overlaid to the SIM protocol for meditation practice. Including Mindfulness, Body Scan and Guided Visualisation, so you can see clearly where your brain waves were in each section of the SIM session.
Before and after qualitative measurements
Individual brain wave graphs
Visual heart, stillness and graphs
Written interpretation of what all the graphs mean.
What we collect
✓ EEG brainwave recordings
✓ Before & after wellbeing questions
✓ Meditation details
We ask you to use the Mind Monitor App
Which can record your brain wave activity during meditation with any EEG monitor
How We Read Your Session
Everything in your report comes directly from your own recording; nothing is invented or guessed.
Your EEG data is analysed using consistent mathematical processing to identify patterns in your five brainwave frequencies. The data is gently smoothed to make trends easier to see, while your facilitator's meditation stages are added to show where they occurred during your session.
If your recording isn't clear enough to analyse accurately, we'll let you know rather than display unreliable results.
Your
Results
Every meditation is unique. Some sessions feel calm, while others may bring emotions or memories to the surface. Both are a natural part of the meditation process and can provide valuable insight into your personal journey.
The reports are designed to support reflection and wellbeing. They are not a medical assessment or diagnosis, and the EEG headbands used are consumer wellness devices rather than clinical equipment.
Research
Ethics
Your information is anonymised using a unique SIM participant ID.
Personal details are stored separately from research data.
Participation is entirely voluntary and you may withdraw at any time.
