Train your brain naturally with Mendi.

Story


 

Finally, we’re making it possible for you to access the same brain enhancement training used by top athletes and executives to improve mental well-being, performance & overall health. With Mendi you can train your brain naturally anytime, anywhere. 
 

 

 

What you need to know

After a successful launch on Kickstarter and becoming the most funded project in history in the categories of brain and mental health, we’re incredibly excited to continue offering early access to Mendi here on Indiegogo. If you’re new to Mendi and short on time, here’s what you need to know:

  • Mendi is a cutting edge brain training product designed for home use. Neurofeedback training is used by athletes, executives, and astronauts to improve brain function and overall health.
     
  • With the headset and app, Mendi training stimulates the brain with exercises that help you focus, relax, and more. Mendi is fun and easy to use for all ages. As little as 10 minutes, 2-3 times a week is enough to improve your mental fitness.
     
  • Backed by the EU and developed with the support of researchers at Stockholm University, Mendi is designed and manufactured in Sweden.
     
  • Whatever your motivation may be to try Mendi, we want to provide peace of mind as you strive to strengthen your brain. As such, we’re including a Money Back Guarantee for everyone.

 

With Mendi, you can strive to strengthen your brain in a fun and easy way. Simply control a training game with your brain.

Your brain learns from feedback. Through live visual feedback of what your brain is doing, you can learn to guide your brain activity – the method is called neurofeedback. 

 

Mendi’s headset measures your brain activity through a unique combination of features, including blood flow and oxygenation in the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC). Think of it as measuring energy consumption in your brain’s control center.

Your combined brain activity is then visualized in a training game –  a game you control using only your brain. Just relax and focus, and you will easily control the game.

The PFC is the control center of your brain. Increasing blood flow, nutrients and oxygenation to this area strengthens it over time—which is what you learn to do with Mendi!

Giacomo receives a Mendi

“My golf game continues to be better, and I have no other way to explain that than Mendi”The Gadgeteer
 

“Mendi is the brain workout you didn’t know you needed”Explica
 

“Keeping yourself in shape is important. Often overlooked, your brain can be trained just like you would a bicep. Mendi makes it possible, using lab-tested tech with a combo of brain-monitoring wearable and an app” Uncrate
 

“It’s actually very relaxing and might help relieve some of the stress you’re feeling during the COVID-19 health crisis” — Techwalla
 

—“In the meantime, I did my own little non-scientific experiment to test the effectiveness. Each day I would first play the game without focusing on the little ball. Then I would play the game again, and try to focus on the ball as much as I could. The second instance resulted in a higher score every single time, in some instances a much higher score. Having tried this experiment 7 or 8 times, in my experience the tech works as advertised” — Gadgets & Wearables

 

Mendi is a professional brain training product designed for home use.
Traditionally, brain training is considered expensive, with people paying up to $15,000 or more for clinical neurofeedback, in their quest to improve health and performance. With Mendi you can perform unlimited neurofeedback training for a fraction of the price.

Mendi makes brain training a fun and easy part of your daily routine. See your brain activity increase as it happens and track your progress over time. The app and exercises are free to use.

Follow your progress in the app Journal with a simple overview of all your training sessions saved in one place.
 

In their attempts to improve brain function, most traditional methods (excluding drugs) such as meditation, therapy, and mind exercises (puzzles, sudokus etc.) all focus on training the mind. While it’s possible to make some improvements to your brain by training your mind, Mendi lets you train your brain directly. 
 

 

 

As we push ourselves to always achieve more, the limiting factor is not our physical capacity but rather our mental fitness. Our ability to focus, create, process and remember depends on our brain. That’s why CEOS, artists, athletes, and NASA astronauts use techniques like brain training to improve their cognitive function and overall health.

Here is what you need to know about Mendi and other products:  
 


 

 


 

Your brain consists of networks. It creates pathways automatically, helping you function without the need to make decisions every second. These pathways become your brain’s habits. Unfortunately, your brain will also naturally develop negative pathways.

These negative pathways can show up as troubling symptoms or even diagnoses. Examples of these can be the brain triggering stress or anxiety in a non-threatening situation or easily losing focus on tasks. For some people these negative pathways may not be so noticeable yet.

These negative pathways will often increase if they are not addressed, leading to poor mental or physical health.
 

Just like the muscles in your body, you can train your brain to be stronger. When you train your brain, you learn to stimulate the flow of essential nutrients to the areas of the brain that need it most.

Through neuroplasticity, you can naturally train your brain. By training, you can create new pathways that allow the brain to adapt to changing requirements in your daily life.

The Mendi headset uses advanced fNIRS technology to monitor activity in your brain. The app provides training exercises, requiring focus and calm to control the game, subsequently increasing activity in your prefrontal cortex, which controls your brain’s pathways. 
 

 

 

Here’s a peak at why experts are obsessed with Neurofeedback Brain Enhancement Training:
 

Mendi is used by elite-athletes and sports teams around the world. 

University of Cincinnati Sports Performance uses Mendi.
 

Employees at companies such as Spotify, Google and WeWork are training with Mendi.  

Employees at WeWork and their tenants using Mendi.

Schools in the U.S. and Sweden are already using Mendi with students ranging from kindergarten to high school.

Mendi is used in Kids World Academy within Granite School District in Salt Lake City.

In January 2020 we opened the Brain Gym in a shopping mall in central Stockholm. Backed by the property owner, visitors can try Mendi with the headset and app. The training is free and everyone is welcome!

Looking for ways to improve their own mental fitness, Mendi founders Sammy and Rickard discovered the challenges to accessing neurofeedback technology and training. After getting heavily involved with neurofeedback clinics, they saw the lives of many people improve with this form of training and decided to use their engineering backgrounds to create Mendi.

“We’re driven by the technology and research available today to make brain-changing experiences available to everyone. As the science continues to advance and we learn from our customers, we are dedicated to continuously improving Mendi and the benefits it can provide our users.”

 

 

And with a growing team, we are chasing a shared goal to build the world’s most powerful brain training product for everyday use. We know the impact improved mental fitness can have on our daily lives and long term health, and we believe that access to the best form of training should be available to everyone.

 

We’re launching Mendi on Indiegogo to bring together a community of people who are passionate about our mission. We want to build the future of Mendi with you!

As a token of appreciation, we’re offering discounts and early access before Mendi hits retailers.
