● At Mendi, we believe easy access to better brain health is a right that everybody should enjoy.
● By providing affordable cutting-edge technology for home use, we help people measure, control, train, and improve brain function.
● In Mendi’s case - neurofeedback is visualized through the ball’s upward curve in the Mendi game.
●The steeper the curve, the more blood flow is being detected.
● Your brain, Your journey.
● No one human brain is the same.
● Join our mission to make better brain health accessible.
● Head on over to the Mendi website to give us a try us today!
The stressful nature of emergency medicine (EM) has put physicians at a higher risk of burnout and developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Mendi research partners at KU Leuven (Belgium) are using mendi neurofeedback training to help EM physicians manage workplace stress and avoid burnout.
The ability to stay focused and maintain cognitive agility are key mental elements for astronauts. However, prolonged space travel has been shown to slowly take a toll on astronauts' mental acuity. Funded by NASA, Mendi partners at Aerospace Corporation and the University of North Dakota (USA) are researching brain training protocols using Mendi headbands to help astronauts im
With ever-increasing number of children and adults diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, pharmacological medication (amphetamines) has been the primary mode of treatment for decades. However, more efforts are being put into developing auxiliary treatments.
To that end, Mendi is partnering with Sweden's top researchers in ADHD at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Gothenburg University to develop neurofeedb
Most consumer neurofeedback is based on measuring electroencephalography (EEG) or brainwaves. Instead, in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neurofeedback, fNIRS detects changes in the brain's local blood flow and oxygenation in response to neural activation.
Mendi’s fNIRS high-fidelity signals are processed with proprietary algorithms to create simple, visually comprehensible, and easy-to-learn local feedback signals.
The key aspect of this technology is that it measures the brain's response to changes in activation, which allows for much more efficient and precise neurofeedback training.
The fNIRS sensor is placed over the forehead, and beneath it is the prefrontal cortex (PFC) which plays a key role in the mental processes of the Executive Function (e.g. focus and working memory). fNIRS neurofeedback is similar to weight training for the PFC - with repeated training lasting structural and functional neuroplasticity will occur.
Because it is a form of neural exercise, Mendi neurofeedback training is perfectly safe, proven effective and its benefits are enduring.
Our brain health model combines neurofeedback training with behavioral science to help you achieve a healthier brain.
By diligently committing to Mendi's neurofeedback training and in-app recommended brain boosters, you will contribute to sharpening your mental acuity which includes deep focus, attention, cognitive flexibility, self-control, emotion regulation, and motivation.
