Michael Raymer\, Advisor\, Subhashini Ganapath y\, Co-Advisor\, and Mateen RizkiABSTRACT:Mindfulness is the state of reta ining awareness of what is happening at the current point in time. It has been used in multiple forms to reduce stress\, anxiety\, and even depressi on. Promoting Mindfulness can be done in various ways\, but research indic ates more and more that people tend to lean towards breathing exercises as a means to reach a mindful state. Studies have showcased that breathing c an be used as a tool to promote brain control\, specifically in the audito ry cortex region. This is important as this is suspected of being the regi on in the brain responsible for the production of symptoms associated with Tinnitus. Mobile Applications have become an increasingly popular tool\, due to its accessibility\, that can be used to promote mindfulness\, and a s a result help patients cope better with Tinnitus. Using applications to guide patient’s breathing patterns could be a more desirable and effective method to attaining a more mindful state. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of such an application\, and how the application can modifie d to be adaptive towards each individual user.
