What is fNIRS neurofeedback?

Most consumer neurofeedback is based on measuring electroencephalography (EEG) or brainwaves. Instead, in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neurofeedback, fNIRS detects changes in the brain's local blood flow and oxygenation in response to neural activation.


Mendi’s fNIRS high-fidelity signals are processed with proprietary algorithms to create simple, visually comprehensible, and easy-to-learn local feedback signals.

The key aspect of this technology is that it measures the brain's response to changes in activation, which allows for much more efficient and precise neurofeedback training.

How does it work?

The fNIRS sensor is placed over the forehead, and beneath it is the prefrontal cortex (PFC) which plays a key role in the mental processes of the Executive Function (e.g. focus and working memory). fNIRS neurofeedback is similar to weight training for the PFC - with repeated training lasting structural and functional neuroplasticity will occur. Because it is a form of neural exercise, Mendi neurofeedback training is perfectly safe, proven effective and its benefits are enduring.
