Description

MMIO is conceptually based on the integration of mindfulness, cognition, and music perception. MMIO aims to be an assistive music technology tool to help individuals interested in self-awareness improve their well being and health. Through supporting attention control, it gives the user the ability to enter and exit a vivid meditative state in a short period of time. By inducing these mental states, and by giving an intention, practitioners can increase their emotion regulation abilities.
