Built from personal experience. Backed by science.

The Origin

Why Cognic exists

Cognic started in the lowest point of my life. I was going through a depressive episode, struggling with ADHD, and looking for anything that might help. Meditation kept coming up — but every time I tried, it felt wrapped in incense and mysticism that I couldn't connect with.

So I did what I always do — I started researching. What I found changed everything. Decades of peer-reviewed neuroscience showing real, measurable changes in the brain. Improved attention. Reduced default-mode network activity. Structural changes in the prefrontal cortex.

The science was there. The delivery wasn't. So I built Cognic — a meditation app that strips away the stigma and leads with evidence. No crystals. No chakras. Just structured protocols grounded in cognitive neuroscience.

“I didn't need someone to tell me to find my inner light. I needed someone to show me the fMRI scans.”

Our Mission

Make meditation make sense

We believe meditation is one of the most powerful tools for cognitive performance — and it shouldn't require buying into a belief system to use it. Cognic exists to bridge the gap between ancient practice and modern neuroscience, making evidence-based meditation accessible to everyone.
