Data-Driven Mood Design: BNA™ Translates Brainwaves into Aromas

Eybna's proprietary BNA™ (Brain-Nutrient Association) technology represents a leap forward in sensory design. Instead of relying on subjective feedback, BNA™ maps the immediate biological effects of terpene inhalation using advanced electroencephalogram (EEG) technology.

Measuring the Unconscious Response

When an individual inhales a terpene formulation, BNA™ monitors changes in brainwave frequencies in real time. This allows us to observe immediate changes in mental state, mapping relaxation, focus, or stimulation directly at the neurological level.

Establishing the Testing Environment

Our research is conducted in state-of-the-art sensory isolation rooms, where external variables are strictly controlled. Subjects are exposed to precise micro-doses of terpene vapor while high-density EEG caps record activity across the frontal and temporal lobes, generating clean, repeatable brainwave data sets.

Biometric Validation Loops

We analyze the raw EEG data through algorithms that filter out muscular artifacts. By tracking the power spectral density of alpha, beta, and theta bands, we correlate specific chemical configurations with distinct neurological responses. This scientific loop replaces guesswork with objective, biometric validation.

Engineering Predictable Outcomes

Our focus blends, for instance, are designed to boost Beta-20Hz waves associated with focus, while relax profiles stimulate Theta-6Hz waves. This data-driven process allows us to engineer products with verifiable, reproducible emotional outcomes for brands globally, establishing a new standard in functional scent design.
