Every Mendi user’s experience is unique, but most people notice gradual, meaningful progress within about eight weeks of consistent training.
Think of it as a journey; one that builds awareness, focus, and balance step by step.
Mendi helps you see what’s happening in your brain in real time. By measuring blood flow and oxygenation in your prefrontal cortex (PFC) — the area responsible for focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making — it teaches you how to strengthen and regulate these processes over time.
This is a learning experience for your brain, not a race for higher scores. Each session builds on the last.
Weeks 1–2: Getting Started
During your first sessions, your brain is learning the feedback loop; how focus and calm change what you see on the screen. You’re also building a personal baseline, which helps Mendi tailor feedback to you.
What you might notice:
The ball movement feels unpredictable (that’s normal in the beginning).
Scores fluctuate as your brain adjusts.
You’re discovering what focus feels like.
Your goal right now is consistency: a few short sessions each week in a calm, comfortable space.
Weeks 3–4: Building Consistency
As you train regularly, your focus becomes steadier and your brain begins to recognize the patterns that make the ball move upward.
You may notice sessions start to feel smoother, and you’ll begin to sense when your mind is calm and engaged.
What you might notice:
Easier control of the ball or steadier feedback.
A growing awareness of your thoughts and attention.
Early signs of focus or calm carrying over into your day.
Weeks 5–6: Feeling the Change
At this stage, your training feels more natural. You’ve learned how to enter a focused, balanced state faster and with less effort.
The connection between mind and feedback is becoming intuitive.
What you might notice:
Sessions feel more predictable and rewarding.
You can bring focus or calm more easily into daily life.
Improvements in concentration, mood, or emotional control.
Your brain is adapting. The neural pathways supporting focus and regulation are becoming stronger.
Weeks 7–8: Sustaining Progress
Your Mendi sessions now feel familiar and integrated into your routine. You’ve built the habit, and your focus and calm begin to feel like second nature.
What you might notice:
A stable rhythm in training and in daily life.
Less effort needed to maintain focus.
A deeper sense of control over your mental state.
This is a good time to explore new Focus Areas or reflect on how your training goals have evolved.
Beyond 8 Weeks
Just like physical exercise, brain training works best when it becomes part of your ongoing routine.
You can reduce the frequency of sessions or shift your goals, but occasional Mendi practice will continue to strengthen your mental flexibility, balance, and resilience.
Your brain is always changing — Mendi helps you guide that change in the direction you choose.
