First of all; don’t worry! Your brain is always active, and learning to guide the activity takes time and practice. Just like physical training, Mendi helps you strengthen control over your brain’s focus and flow, session by session.
Think of it like weight training
When you first lift weights, the movement can feel shaky and hard to control. After a few weeks, your brain learns which muscles to activate, and your motion becomes smoother and more efficient.
Mendi works the same way; at first, the ball may move unpredictably, but over time your brain becomes better at focusing and regulating activity. For most users, this sense of control builds gradually over 3–4 weeks of consistent training.
Every session contributes to stronger focus and greater brain resilience, even if your score is low or the ball feels difficult to control.
Tips for Better Control
1. Focus and mindset
Sit comfortably, relax, and set the intention to move the ball upward.
When stars appear, it means oxygen-rich blood is reaching your prefrontal cortex; that’s your “doing it right” signal.
Don’t force concentration, stay curious and patient.
2. Optimize your environment
Train in a dim or dark space, away from sunlight or bright lamps.
Keep the app or phone at eye level to maintain posture and signal quality.
Stay as still and relaxed as possible while focusing on the ball.
3. Ensure a good fit
Position the headband just above your eyebrows, flat against clean, dry skin.
Keep hair away from the sensors.
Clean the sensor area with a lightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before each session.
4. Mental anchors
Notice sensations like your breathing, posture, or the gentle pressure of the headband.
If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the ball — that’s part of the process.
Positive thoughts or warm memories can help maintain calm, focused attention.
Try to soften your gaze rather than staring sharply at the ball.
5. Practice consistently
Most progress comes from short, regular sessions (3–10 minutes a day).
Try a quick session before reading, working, or sports; many users notice better sharpness and focus afterward.
Remember
With Mendi, you’re practicing control of your attention, learning to guide thoughts instead of reacting to them.
It’s a bit like meditation with live feedback: instead of wondering if you’re “doing it right,” Mendi shows you in real time.
Be patient, stay curious, and know that every session; even the challenging ones, is helping your brain learn.
Consistency builds control. Keep going, and you’ll start to feel it click.
