I have been using SIX, an emotional fitness app for the last three months. It’s a consumer-facing app from the neuro measurement company, Immersion. It tracks my raw heart rate through a wearable device, second-by-second. Then, based on decades of scientific research, it translates my heart rate into two scores. One of value: what everyday experiences my brain finds valuable. One of safety – how comfortable and resilient I feel during those experiences. It sends me alerts when I hit a key moment, which is a standout period when my value scores are high enough for a long period of time. Key moments signify neurologically meaningful experiences. My oxytocin and dopamine are high and my cortisol is low. Colloquially speaking, I am in a ‘flow state’.
