The Happiness Project vs Mesmerise - ESM Usage & Stats
Play fun mini-games to help brain scientists study the psychology and neuroscience of well-being!
Created by scientists at UCL and Yale, this app is a citizen science project taking psychology and neuroscience experiments from the lab to your smartphone.
Every 3-minute game that you finish contributes data to real scientific research about how the brain works. The anonymous surveys help us see what causes well-being and understand mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. Be part of a unique citizen science experiment and help us write the equation for happiness!
Dr Robb Rutledge (Yale Psychology) says: "We all want to know what determines happiness. It’s hard to figure it out! In our games, we ask people about their happiness as they make decisions in different situations. We hope people enjoy our app and help us answer some really important scientific questions!"
This citizen science project was supported by the UK Medical Research Council.

Mesmerise is an experience sampling method (ESM) companion app that allows its users to join a variety of academic studies and respond to the surveys configured by the researchers.
As the participant of a study and user of Mesmerise, you will be able to customise your notification schedule preferences. Together with the notification schedules set out by the researchers, this will create a pattern that works for you and complies with the study requirements.
By signing up for a Mesmerise account, you will be able to participate in a number of studies under a single account, without having to re-register or provide new e-mail address. At the same time, your participant identifier will be kept separate from your user account, allowing for a certain level of privacy between the studies.
