My mission is to support health and well-being
by advancing science-based self-regulation.
Cognitive neuroscience • Technology • Mindfulness
I’m Lukas Bögge, a cognitive neuroscientist and biomedical engineer working at the intersection of self-regulation, digital health, and human–technology interaction.
What I Do
I bridge neuroscience, psychology, engineering, and contemplative science to research, design systems, and train self-regulation of the body and mind.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Self-regulation refers to the ability of the body and mind to flexibly adapt thoughts, emotions, and behavior in response to stress and changing demands. It is fundamental to physical and mental health and can be strengthened through approaches such as mindfulness and biofeedback.
About Me
Hi, I am Lukas Bögge, a researcher and engineer driven by a simple but powerful question:
How can we better understand and regulate ourselves to live healthier, more conscious, and fulfilling lives?
What defines my approach is the combination of exploration and analytical rigor. I seek out emerging methods and translate them into structured, scientifically grounded frameworks. I am driven to understand and test what is genuinely promising — and to apply approaches supported by strong empirical evidence.
As an engineer, I am particularly interested in building systems that help close this loop: technologies that allow us to sense our internal state in real time and actively adapt it. From VR-based biofeedback to data science and digital health tools, I aim to create interfaces between humans and their own physiology — enabling deeper self-understanding, self-regulation, and more adaptive behavior..
My work and passion lie at the intersection of science, technology, and lived experience. I am particularly interested in approaches that aim to monitor and modulate mental states and physiological functioning through experience, awareness, and technology.
However, I do not just study self-regulation — I explore it. Both in the lab, through data and experimental systems, and in real life, through cross-cultural experiences, mindfulness practice, and work in psychedelic-assisted settings. Over the years, I have lived and worked in Colombia, France, the USA, and Germany. As a result, I am drawn to approaches that challenge conventional thinking while still holding real potential for human wellbeing.
At the core of my work lies one principle: change and self-regulation begin with awareness. Before we can change how we think, feel, or act, we need to perceive or measure our internal state. This is why I combine inner practices such as mindfulness with physiological measurement, data modelling, and biofeedback — making implicit processes visible, tangible, and trainable.
Ultimately, my goal is to bridge disciplines and worlds: science and practice, technology and human experience, analysis and intuition. I strive to translate this integration into tools, knowledge, and experiences that support meaningful and lasting change.
