The app is poorly thought out. I've had mendi for two years and it's gotten worse. Nothing has improved. There are no new paths, just the usual ball rolling with the same music. If you want to consult... See more

Better stress management skills

As a menopausal woman with children in puberty our house sometimes started to feel like a stressful/loud/chaotic place. Having used Mendi almost daily for about a month, I have noticed that other people’s emotions don’t affect me as much as before. This helps enormously with keeping home- and work life more balanced and calm. I also feel like I am more in control of my boundaries and better able to say ‘no’ without feeling stressed about it. I see this tool like ‘meditation on rocket fuel’. Very easy daily 10min practice for (in my opinion) a big result. Definitely worth my money.

Fraudulent device

I turned it on and started a session. I placed the headband on the counter. The ball goes up and down as if I had it on. That should be impossible, how could it record brain activity when I don’t even have it on????

Hell AI L, Mendi is built on fNIRS technology, It measures oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO), deoxygenated blood flow (HbR), and total blood flow (HbTot). The device employs two sensor types—senders (emitters) and receivers (detectors). Senders emit infrared light through your brain, which then travels in a banana-like shape back to the surface of your head. Receivers measure the returning light, with the increase indicating the difference in the sent and returned light.

In simple terms, Mendi gauges blood flow by shining light through your skull, where external lighting can impact readings. For accurate signal reading you have to make sure that the device sits firmly on your forehead (so that the external light cannot get to the sensors). You are of course always welcome to email us at help@mendi.io for more personalised guidance. In the interim, we hope this explains the technology a bit better.

Fake reviews

Fake reviews! C’mon Mendi, if you are going to write the fake reviews, don’t make them cheesy and obvious that you are writing them! This is plastic headband that does nothing but make you think it works

Hello Lannie,
The evidence supporting the effectiveness of neurofeedback is robust and readily accessible online. To get you started, here's a systematic review of fNIRS-based neurofeedback (the same tech Mendi is built on), summarizing all peer-reviewed and published research in the field: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7396619/

And here’s our own study which compares measurements of brain activity from your Mendi with an established laboratory fNIRS device:
https://mendi-webpage.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/Mendi_signal_validation_interim_report_final.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2abGa5J67lU3d7pF-KmnuQCm6MbgdIrAQmRiWI_9Ot1h0KbeS6i86R5ls 



In short, it compares Mendi (in a laboratory and home settings) with a state-of-the-art, research-grade fNIRS device from Biopac - think of it as the golden reference standard of fNIRS technology. A preliminary analysis of the data has shown a great agreement between the measurements for the two devices. At the group level, the correlation between the results was 0.81, which is amazing and means that Mendi compares very favorably against top research equipment. No small feat given that we built our hardware for home use.

Please email us at help@mendi.io for more personalized guidance. We would love to evaluate your session logs to see what could be improved in your training routine.

Focus plus other benefits

Mendi is a wonderfully helpful tool to enhance focus, and a number of other mental functions and skills. As with any improvement, consistent practice is critical. Once you get into the routine of spending even a daily 5 minutes using the Mendi, the results do begin to show up. No doubt, they are a little different for each person, but reading the comments from others, and comparing that to my own experience, one of the key benefits is greater ease and quality in one's focus. That by itself has lots of "spill over" benefits to other parts of your life. Also, I have found the Mendi team to be very customer focused. Keep enhancing this excellent tool!

I love Mendi

I love Mendi! It's a remarkable technology, and I also love the story behind why CEO Moha Bensofia invested in it after healing from PTSD by using it. It drew me in, but I also muscle tested myself for it, and I considered many other products out there. After 8 days of Mendi utilization, I can feel the changes in my brain -- better focus, better breathing, better life.

I've only begun to experience the benefits, yet if I experienced no more, it was worth the relatively small cost. It'll be worth more and more as I go, so if you're considering buying it, just do it!

Whether you have done traditional neurofeedback or not, this is a pivotal tool. You can do it daily (or even multiple times a day), and you can experiment with variables (supplementation, meditation practices, time of day usage, etc) too maximize the effectiveness of the sessions. This is hard to do when you're going to a center/storefront for neurofeedback. It doesn't replace it, but it's a wonderful tool.

A great product with great people behind it

The gadget is very effective yet simple to set up and use right away. More importantly, the after-sales support from the communication and community team is fantastic. Robert Rtveliashvili took time to patiently explain in detail the best way to use Mendi and also recommended useful resources for further exploration. Mendi is a winner not just because its a great product but there are also great people behind it - in creating the product and being with the users after its sold.

I really recommend Mendi for anyone…

I really recommend Mendi for anyone that’s struggling with anxiety, stress, migraine, or even when you feel your head heavy and full after after a long day. I’ve been using Mendi for a week and I already can feel the difference on my ability to concentrate, stress relief and better mood. It’s incredible how it can just turn a stressful mind/mood into a better mood and light head in 15 minutes . I love it!

Mendi it’s awesome 😎

Mendi is beyond any devices to help with neurofeedback. I’m on a 28 day streak with my headband and I feel many things are changing. For example how I react to different emotions and situations in a comer manner. Neuroplasticity is possible with Mendi because you get instant biofeedback with the Mendi device and the app. Easy to use and happy to have Mendi in my life. Another important detail, my 2 daughters and wife are also using Mendi.

Helpful device for lifestyle improvement

Very helpful device on the road towards better mental health. Not a one-stop solution, but great addition to a changed lifestyle to make life more calm and harmonic. I recommend everyone to try it for a couple of weeks and see if they get the same results as I have.

Not just another device 🫶

Mendi helped me control my emotions, and deal with anxiety, as well as significantly reduced my level of stress. I noticed a change already after 4 weeks of using it on a daily basis. At this point, after 8 months, I consider myself a pro user 😎
I strongly recommend daily usage and experimenting with times and the length of training in order to find the best solution for yourself.
My training routine is 15 min every morning within 30 min of being awake and before coffee.
Try it out - the worst thing that can happen to you is that you trusted a lady that wrote a killer review 😁

Really just a fraudulent device

Really just a fraudulent device. A student brought this into our lab and we pieced the hardware and data apart. Cheap Chinese tech from decades ago with nothing really to say about your brain. Mendi is not a headset company they are a marketing company for getting people to buy this stuff and show them nonsensical graphs regarding brain blood flow.
Classic placebo marketing making a quick buck! Many have and will do the same I'm sure.

Its great to go "have I done my Mendi today?"

We only just got our Mendi a few days ago but its been a really fun way to enter the world of neural feedback.

My wife loves it and is already doing really well.

It's early days yet and I'll update after using it for the 28 days to get my benchmarks

It's been less than a week & I have already noticed a huge difference in my focus & ability to manage stress. I am someone who has had bad anxiety, difficulty focusing & trouble sleeping. Since using Mendi for the last few days I have already noticed a big difference over all! Excited to see my results continue!

I bought the Mendi device after hearing about it on Dave Asprey's podcast and I really love it - Great device!

I'm honestly blown away how much more focused I am and how I don't get distracted as easy as before. Will continue to use it every single day!

Doubtful if it works - broken after 11 weeks

The good stuff:
Mendi is a nicely design product, and the whole ecommerce experienced worked very well. The app in itself is pretty nice, and the "game" is very well designed which makes it kind of fun to play.

My doubts:
I was quite invested in trying out the product but I couldn't help but wondering if it actually has any effect. It says in the app that you should experience some effect after 6-8 weeks. I used the product 3-5 times per week for 11 consecutive weeks but I can't say that I experienced any effect. It does measure something, that much I can say, but I'm not sure that the "exercise" actually has any effect. I did become better at the game in the first weeks, but then it pretty quickly levelled out, and I didn't experience any other effect. If the device didn't break down (more in next paragraph) I would probably keep using it for a while longer to see if there would be any effect, but at this point in time I would not recommend it to a friend.

The bad stuff:
It loses connection quite a lot which is a bit annoying. It seemed to get worse over time.
What's worse, after 11 weeks, it stopped charging and is now completely dead. It has amazing battery time, so it was actually only the third or fourth time I charged it. I find this disappointing in terms of quality.

So all in all, a nice device that probably doesn't do anything, and even if it does, its quality is fair below par. Don't buy it! Instead, use the 10 minutes per day to meditate for free - you will have a much better effect.

Amazing product and great customer…

Amazing product and great customer service 🤩
I have been using Mendi for over a month now and it is already helping me with my focus and sleep. I feel less stressed after my usual workday. I checked out some brain health wearables available in the market, Mendi is my favorite, the device is so easy to use and carry. And most importantly, it works.

Great device

Great device! I was skeptical at the beginning but after 8 weeks (exactly as stated in the manual) of everyday use and learning about Neurofeedback - I can admit that it works for me! Now it's hard to imagine life without those 10 minutes in the morning that makes me focused and productive every day. Great job Mendi! Looking forward to new features, devices, and discoveries in brain health!
