ʘ‿ʘLight Breakfast + Pizza
Mindful Makers is teaming up with Vibes AI & AWEAR and SundAI as part of a16z tech week Boston for its 12 hackathon at MIT!
Hidden in the sound of our voice we have hundreds of biomarkers, which indicate brain state and mental readiness. Now with Vibes AI and their MANTRA 0.8 foundational model, we can measure these biometrics and use them to guide our daily life and choices that influence our wellbeing. At this hack we'll be able to build wellness + biofeedback technology on top of Vibes AI, MANTRA 0.8
AWEAR is revolutionizing accessibility to EEG biofeedback for wellbeing, with the AWEAR behind-ear EEG device. With this technology, for the first time we can check in with our brain's health on an ongoing basis without relying on bulky headwear.
We'll hack on projects that promote wellbeing and mindfulness in daily life. Come with your best Voice metrics + EEG ideas!
We'll spend the day designing and building technology that deepens mental fitness, wellbeing, and longevity in the lives of our community.

Biohackers/wellness enthusiasts welcome.
Non-coders welcome: You don't need to be a programmer — we'll keep a balanced ratio of coders to non-coders (~1:1) so everyone can contribute meaningfully. Just be prepared to learn how to build with AI, and potentially sign up for free trails of AI coding tools if you don't use them already.
