The things you consume every day are shaping your brain. Opethi shows you which ones, and how.
No spam. Your data stays yours. Always.
Every day, your brain shifts from active thinking to passive autopilot. The moment it happens is precise, measurable, and entirely specific to you.
Opethi identifies the exact second you entered The Drift — when your brain stopped processing and started absorbing. The moment platforms and advertisers spend billions to reach.
A brief daily session using your phone's front camera tracks eye movement, fixation stability, and blink patterns every second. Short enough to do daily. Precise enough to matter.
Opethi's prediction engine — trained on real neurological data — identifies the exact second your brain shifts from active processing to passive absorption.
Over time, Opethi builds a cognitive picture unique to you. When your Drift opens earliest. What triggers it. What protects against it. A data set only you own.
Heart rate, HRV, and sleep data from your Apple Watch adds a biometric layer to every session — correlating how you slept with when you drift.
"Every ad you see has been engineered against your neurology. The same science that targets you can show you exactly what they are doing."
Opethi uses the same prediction science as the platforms that study your brain — applied in the opposite direction. Not to target you. To show you exactly what they are doing. So you can take it back.
Two ideas sit behind Opethi: that your mental states leave a measurable signature an AI can learn to read, and that the platforms in your pocket are built to exploit those same states. Here is some of the peer-reviewed work behind both.
In a real-world setting, researchers decoded attention from distraction using brain activity alone — different states showed distinct signatures across alpha, theta, and delta brainwaves, classified by AI with around 80% accuracy.
Read the study →A survey of brain-signal research maps the bands directly: alpha waves track relaxed, wakeful rest while beta waves rise during focused attention and alertness — and their shifts reliably mark the slide toward fatigue.
Read the study →A peer-reviewed analysis describes how social media interfaces are deliberately engineered around dopamine-driven reinforcement — because, as the authors put it, user attention is the product these companies are paid for.
Read the study →A mixed-methods study found that persuasive design techniques — infinite scroll, recommendation algorithms, engagement loops — are used by major platforms to prolong use and make products more habit-forming.
Read the study →Opethi is early, and we're looking for people who care about attention, neuroscience, and building things that respect the people who use them. We don't have formal listings yet — but if this is the kind of work you want to do, we want to hear from you.
