How This Works

How Microdowser Works

🧠 The Science of Microgestures

Your subconscious mind creates tiny, involuntary movements called microgestures. These movements are too small to see but can be detected by your phone's accelerometer. When you think "YES" or "NO", your body produces distinct patterns of these microgestures.

📊 Advanced Pattern Recognition

Microdowser uses multiple analysis techniques to identify your unique gesture patterns:

  • Statistical Analysis: Measures variance, energy, and distribution of movements
  • Frequency Analysis (FFT): Detects oscillation patterns and tremor frequencies
  • Peak Detection: Identifies sudden movements and their patterns
  • Time Segmentation: Analyzes how gestures evolve over time
  • Dynamic Time Warping: Compares gesture shapes regardless of speed

🎯 The Process

1. Calibration

You focus on "YES" for 10 seconds, then "NO" for 10 seconds. The app learns your unique microgesture patterns.

2. Question

You ask a yes/no question and hold your phone while thinking about it for 10 seconds.

3. Analysis

The app compares your question gestures to your calibrated YES/NO patterns using advanced algorithms.

4. Result

You receive an answer with a confidence percentage based on pattern similarity.

📈 Visualization

The graph shows the magnitude of your movements over time:

🔵 Cyan line = YES calibration pattern

🔴 Pink line = NO calibration pattern

🟡 Yellow line = Your question pattern

🔬 Technical Details

The app samples accelerometer data at ~60Hz across X, Y, and Z axes. Data is normalized to remove gravity bias while preserving sudden movements. Multiple similarity metrics are combined with weighted scoring:

  • 50% Statistical features
  • 30% Dynamic Time Warping
  • 20% Linear regression

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Hold your phone consistently during calibration and questions
  • Focus clearly on YES or NO during calibration
  • Stay still but relaxed - let microgestures happen naturally
  • Recalibrate if you change positions or environments
