Phase 2 study now open · Lisbon

Is mental fatigue affecting your best work?

You can still work, lead and make decisions while mental fatigue is building. Gamma is testing whether the wearable you already own can reveal those changes early enough to do something about them.

No new device. No daily EEG. No new habit.

Your brain is showing a larger shift than your body right now.

You can still be functioning while the pattern is changing.

Day 1

A demanding day

Long hours, hard calls, no obvious problem. Nothing about the day feels like a warning.

Day 2

Not quite back

You slept, you showed up, you did the work. The pattern moves back toward where it started, but not all the way.

Day 3

Another demanding day

You are still functioning. The distance from your own normal keeps opening up.

Your own normal pattern Day 1

What if you could see that before you felt depleted?

Mental fatigue does not always arrive as a dramatic crash. You can still be working, deciding and getting things done while demanding days begin to stack up.

Gamma is investigating whether changes in everyday wearable signals can help reveal that pattern.

How Gamma thinks about the problem

Detect.
Recover.
Act.

Three questions, in order. Each one only makes sense once the one before it has an answer.

01

Detect

What is changing?

Compare today's wearable signals with your own normal pattern and notice when something begins to shift.

02

Recover

Am I bouncing back?

Look at whether your signals are returning toward your normal pattern or whether demanding days may be stacking up.

03

Act

What should I do with that?

Turn the pattern into practical guidance for how you pace demanding work and recovery.

PushRecoverMove

Know when to push.
Know when to recover.

This is the framework Gamma is being built around. It is not a claim that Gamma already knows the right answer for you.

The research

Can your wearable tell us something your body alone can't?

Brain

EEG recorded during each research session.

Body

Wearable physiology, including heart rate and HRV.

Behavior

Attention · reaction time · working memory.

Do they change together?

That's what we're testing.

Every Gamma research session pairs wearable data with EEG and behavioural cognitive measures.

We're studying whether changes observed across brain activity, physiology and performance can reveal meaningful patterns associated with mental fatigue and recovery.

We're testing the question before claiming the answer.

Phase 2 is underway in Lisbon. The study is designed to test whether wearable signals, EEG and cognitive performance tell a consistent enough story to support useful mental fatigue and recovery insights.

The hardest days aren't always the ones where you stop.

Sometimes you keep going.

  • You keep working.
  • You keep making decisions.
  • You keep pushing through.

The question is whether you would make the same choices if you could see that your pattern was changing.

Coming first to Apple Watch

Stop guessing. Start noticing the pattern.

Gamma's first release will focus on your personal wearable patterns, recovery and practical guidance for demanding days.

Is mental fatigue affecting your best work?

We're building Gamma to help answer that question.
