Brain health, measured daily

Your brain is the
last blind spot.

Your brain is the
last blind spot.

Totem is a small device for your nightstand. Three quiet minutes each morning, and it tracks how your mind is doing over time, like a fitness tracker for your brain.

What it is

A dedicated device, not another phone app. It sits on your nightstand and glows.

What you do

Three quiet minutes each morning: breathe with it, then a few simple taps. No screens.

What you get

A private record of your brain health that grows for years, so a slow change surfaces as a trend long before you'd feel it.

It measures. It never grades you. There's no daily score to chase.

A daily ritual object
for your mind.

It glows. You place your hands on it. It breathes with you, and while you settle, it listens.

02 The Tension

You track your sleep. Your heart. Your VO₂ max.

But the organ that makes you you flies completely blind.

Decline begins silently in your 30s. Twenty years before the first symptom.

"Johnson measures every organ. Huberman protocols every system. Neither can tell you how their brain is actually doing today. That's the gap."
The Muninn Cognition thesis
03 The Proof
Interactive · a taste of the instrument

React when the dot turns copper.

When it flashes copper, press it, fast as you can. No score. No grade. Just the gap between seeing and doing.

05 Thirty Mornings

Not a number. A direction.

Not a number. A direction.
Thirty sessions build your baseline. After that the line just keeps growing, a private record of your mind that's yours for years. A slow drift no annual physical would catch shows up here first, as a bend in your line.
No score · No grade · No axis to fail against
06 What It Sees

While you get present, Totem quietly runs the full battery: four tests, one composite direction.

Reaction Time

Processing Speed

Seeing → deciding → doing, collapsed into milliseconds. The substrate everything else rides on.

Flanker

Response Inhibition

Suppressing the response a world of notifications wants you to make.

Spatial N-Back

Working Memory

The mental scratchpad, the first thing a short night takes from you.

Task-Switching

Cognitive Flexibility

The price your brain pays every time you alt-tab, and the first muscle modern work wears down.

The full executive triad (inhibition · updating · shifting) on the processing-speed substrate.

For the rigorous: the numbers behind the ritual+

The trendline plots a single composite index, normalized against your own rolling baseline: an intraindividual z-score, never population norms. Six sub-scores feed it:

Median reaction timecentral tendency · raw throughput
RT variability · IIVtrial-to-trial SD, shifts 3-5 years before the mean does
Flanker accuracyinterference control under conflict
Flanker interferenceincongruent − congruent median RT
N-Back d′signal detection, log-linear corrected
Switch costswitch − repeat trial RT

The sub-scores are always yours to open. The default view is always the direction, not the digits.

"I watched my grandfather fade into Alzheimer's. Cognitive decline isn't a cliff. It's a slope that begins decades before anyone names it, with no baseline to measure against. Your 30s and 40s are the window. We're building the instrument for it."
