Mendi

Clinical-Grade Neurofeedback, Powered by fNIRS.

About Mendi 

Mendi is democratizing brain health by bringing hospital-grade neuroimaging technology into the home. Unlike traditional brain wearables that passively track data, Mendi is an active training device designed to strengthen the most critical part of the human brain: the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC).

Founded by engineers and neuroscientists, Mendi’s mission is to make mental fitness as measurable and actionable as physical fitness. Their technology is used by elite athletes, executives, and clinicians to improve focus, regulate stress, and build lasting cognitive resilience.

The Technology: fNIRS vs. EEG 

While most consumer headsets use EEG (measuring electrical activity), Mendi utilizes fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy). This advanced optical technique measures oxygenated blood flow (hemodynamics) in response to neural activity. This provides a robust, reliable signal that is less susceptible to electrical noise and muscle movement, making it the gold standard for hemodynamic neurofeedback.

Vendor Highlights:

• Targeted Training: Specifically targets the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC), the brain's command center for emotional regulation, focus, and executive function.
• Gamified Biofeedback: Users control a game using only their brain activity, learning to voluntarily increase blood flow and neural activity in real-time.
• Clinically Validated: Built on decades of research into fNIRS technology, offering a level of accuracy previously reserved for research labs.
• Accessible Design: A sleek, comfortable headset that requires no conductive gels or complex calibration—just put it on and train.
