Mood and cognition research
Mindwave follows mood and cognition over time.
Mindwave is a research-stage study pairing short cognitive tasks, voice prompts and mood check-ins to see how reported state changes line up with measurable signals.
Overview
Where self-report meets measurement.
Mood research leans heavily on how people describe themselves. Mindwave adds repeatable tasks and voice features beside those descriptions so researchers can compare the two.
Participants take part through a web app with anonymous IDs. The project is framed strictly as research and is not a clinical or diagnostic tool.

Project functions
01
Study workflow
Guides participants through baseline, check-in and follow-up sessions on a fixed schedule.
02
Voice features
Looks for vocal changes that may line up with shifts in mood, focus or creativity.
03
Tasks and surveys
Combines short cognitive tests with self-report so every data point has context.
04
Anonymous by default
Participants join with pseudonymous IDs to keep the barrier to entry low.
05
Clear eligibility
Published criteria protect participants and keep the study results meaningful.
06
Long-term use
Aims to learn whether speech can help monitor wellbeing in future, carefully scoped research.
Why it matters
Structure for experiences that are hard to put into words.
Mindwave adds measurable anchors to subjective reports, helping researchers compare what people feel with what their tasks and voices show.
