Abstract-Meditation benefits have been widely supported by many research works. It is considered a natural way of reducing stress, depression, and other anxiety disorders. However, meditation process is a breathe pursuing task that requires long time training to avoid the so-called mind wandering. In this work, we propose a neural-feedback system that detects when mind wanders and generates an audible signal, this way patient's attention is recovered back again. Finally, we support our approach by testing the system on novice and advanced meditators. Resumen-Los beneficios psicoterapéuticos de la meditación han sido avalados científicamente en muchos trabajos a nivel mundial, considerándola una forma natural de reducir los niveles de estrés, depresión, etc. Sin embargo, la meditación mediante el seguimiento consciente de la respiración es un proceso que requiere largos periodos de entrenamiento para aprender a evitar la denominada desviación de la atención. En este trabajo se propone un sistema de retroalimentación neuronal que detecta la desviación de la atención y genera una señal auditiva que recupera la atención del paciente. A continuación, se reportan resultados preliminares que avalan el enfoque propuesto en este trabajo.
