Matter Neuroscience - Technology For Human Thriving

Matter is built on the belief that scientific and technological breakthroughs should expand human capacity, not diminish it. We use neuroscience and AI to help people understand their brains, strengthen memory and emotional awareness, and enjoy richer, more connected lives.

Ai Icon

AI-enabled coaching with one goal: your emotional fitness. 

Matter turns the latest neuroscience research on the brain and wellbeing into a simple daily practice anyone can use.

Brain icon

Helping humans reconnect with their biological compass for thriving.

Matter has no interest in stealing your life time, grabbing your attention, or optimizing you for economic productivity. Coaching sessions have a defined purpose and natural daily stopping point, helping users listen to their own emotional and biological signals rather than stay endlessly engaged.
Hand icon

A counter-pattern to ill-designed consumer technology.

Most consumer apps optimize for isolating the individual alone with their screen. Matter is designed to encourage real-world connection, family, friendship, community, and embodied life.
Lock icon

No training on user data.

Matter does not use user data to train its own or third-party foundational models.

Matter significantly improves well-being after just two weeks

During a wintertime study in 2025 with the Happiness Research Institute, Matter users (Group 1) increased their happiness in two weeks, while non-users (Group 2) experienced a decline. By week 4, the difference in happiness between the two groups would be like living in one of the world’s happiest countries vs. one of the least. The good news? Group 2 started to see the benefits after using Matter, too.

Study note: Randomized, cross-over study with 684 participants using Matter while monitoring various parameters of positive and negative affect and wearable data over a period of 8 weeks.

Wow.

I'm really glad I joined Matter. part of this has been learning the science of happiness, but more than that has been the daily practice of noticing and reflecting on the good moments of my day. I find myself viewing my life much more positively now. Thanks Matter and thanks to the other members here for inspiring me to keep up my practice.

It actually works!

I was skeptical about this one but the brain research is always something I try to keep an open mind about and try when an app claims insight into brain activity, and so I did the 7-day trial. So far 5 days in the trial I’ve actually found myself feeling happier and even thinking of different memories I could add to this app and it really does make me happier at the end of the day!

This app has improved my life.

Love this app. It helps me pay attention to the good stuff happening in my life and is very user friendly. I’ve recommended it to so many friends. Instead of posting to Instagram, I use this, and it feels better and gets me off social media!
