PSYCHE
PARTICIPANT RECRUITMENT

Help Us Build the Emotional Intelligence Layer for Technology

We're looking for people who live under pressure.

Psyche is running a research experiment to understand whether emotional states can be detected from voice and physiological signals — before a person is consciously aware of them.

We're not building an app. We're building the dataset that makes a new category of AI possible.

For that, we need participants who actually experience meaningful fluctuations in cognitive and emotional load. Founders. Operators. Knowledge workers carrying real weight.

If that's you, we want 90 days of your mornings.

Two minutes a day. Every day. For 30 to 90 days.

Each session has three parts:

  1. You read a short standardized passage aloud.

  2. You speak freely for 60 seconds about how you feel that day.

  3. You answer one question — How emotionally steady do you feel today? — on a scale from 1 to 10.

That's it. If you wear a device that tracks HRV or sleep, you can optionally share that data. It's not required.

What you're signing up for

Why this matters

Every major AI system can process language, images, and data at scale. None of them understand how a person actually feels.

That gap exists because there's no longitudinal emotional dataset linking voice, physiology, and self-reported state over time. Snapshots exist. Timelines don't.

Psyche is building the first one.

The participants in this cohort are the foundation of that. Your data — collected over weeks, not moments — is what makes emotional modeling possible.

You're a good fit if you're a founder, operator, or knowledge worker who:

  • Carries significant cognitive load on a daily basis

  • Has noticeable fluctuations in stress, focus, or emotional steadiness

  • Can commit to a two-minute daily practice for at least 30 days

  • Is genuinely curious about what your signals might reveal

Who we’re looking for

What You Get

  • Early access to Psyche findings and insights from your own data

  • A summary report of your personal emotional signal patterns at the end of the study

  • The knowledge that you helped build something foundational
