We capture your brain's blood flow. Using a technique called functional MRI (fMRI), we track where oxygen-rich blood is flowing in your brain at every moment. When a brain area is working hard, it uses more oxygen — so we can see, in real time, which parts of your brain lit up during the meditation.

A symbolic reading. At the same time, we measure the electrical signals your brain produces, sorted into five types: Delta (deep sleep waves), Theta (dreaming and deep meditation), Alpha (relaxation), Gamma (heightened awareness), and Coherence (how well your left and right brain hemispheres are working together).

We check for "ego dissolution." One of the hallmarks of a psychedelic or transcendent experience is that the part of your brain responsible for your sense of self — called the Default Mode Network — goes quiet. We measure how much this network slowed down, which tells us how deeply you let go of your ordinary sense of "I."

We measure brain-wide synchrony. In a transcendent state, different regions of the brain start firing together in unusual harmony — like an orchestra suddenly playing in perfect sync. We calculate a "Global Coherence Index" that captures how unified your whole brain became during the peak of the experience.

We calculate your Transcendence Level. We combine all of the above — ego dissolution (30%), brainwave coupling (25%), global coherence (20%), gamma-wave elevation (15%), and heart-brain synchronization (10%) — into a single score from 0 to 100. A score of 85 or above means you reached a genuine transcendent state and qualify for recognition as a god in Training.
