Resonance measures how you see the world — 120 lenses of perception — and uses the only compatibility algorithm built on how people actually perceive, to predict who will truly resonate with you. Developed by a UCLA social neuroscientist.

Looking for Resonance for Work or Conferences?
Take the 15-minute survey — 120 statements about what your attention naturally notices. No right answers, just honest ones.
Get your Perceptual Profile — a personal report comparing how you see the world with 1000s of others: your perceptual type, your most distinctive lenses, and the kinds of people you naturally resonate with.
Join a CLICK session — a guided online experience where 79% of past participants enjoyed it more than they expected and 70% made a real connection. And coming soon: profiles and a network of the people most compatible with you.
Resonance was created by UCLA social neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman — one of the founders of the field. Most matching tools guess from hobbies and demographics. Resonance measures something deeper: the lenses through which you perceive everything — and it's the only algorithm built to match people on that.
Resonance isn't a dating app and it isn't networking. It exists to help you find the people around you who see the world the way you do — the ones most likely to become real friends.
The matching algorithm is inspired by decades of social neuroscience research on what actually predicts compatibility between two people. (Hint: it's not shared hobbies.)
The survey and your report are free (and immediate). Your answers are used for two things only — your report and your matches — and are never sold and never shared. School and workplace communities stay gated to verified members.
About 15 minutes, right here on this site. Questions about how you naturally see and experience the world — there are no right answers, just honest ones.
Minutes later, your Perceptual Profile is ready: your perceptual type, your most distinctive lenses, your surprising combinations, and the kinds of people you most naturally resonate with.
Opt in to CLICK — a guided online gathering designed to turn a compatible stranger into a real connection, hosted by us and matched by the algorithm.
In the coming months: set up a profile and explore a network of the people most compatible with you — near you and everywhere.
"I've become alarmed at how many students are lonely and have trouble making real friends. I wanted to try and do something about this — so I created Resonance."— Matthew Lieberman, UCLA Professor of Psychology & co-founder of Resonance
Resonance can run as a private, gated community — matches made only within your people.
Match incoming students into compatible pods, or give a whole campus a private network of its own — gated to verified school email addresses.
Onboard new hires into compatible pods, match mentors with mentees who actually click, and build teams out of people predisposed to work well together.
Replace wander-around networking with compatible pods and matched conversation sessions — from 30 to 5,000 attendees, in person or virtual.
Help the people who live near each other actually know each other — a private community for your building, block, club, or town.
