7 decades of neurofeedback research

Things will always happen that you can’t plan for or change. But you can always choose how you respond — when your brain is in balance. When brains are out of balance, they can get stuck in fight or flight — that feeling of not being able to come down from stress mode.

But your heart-mind connection is strong. With heart coherence biofeedback — using breathing patterns to influence your heart rate — you can incorporate the heart into your brain training and work around a sidelined brain. You’ll take control of your stress response and train up your HRV (heart rate variability).

Another way people try to balance their brains is by correcting whatever’s outside the norm. Training “back to normal” is good when you have a medical problem like a concussion. When healthy, high-performing minds do it, they could lose what makes them exceptional. It's grading on a curve — how well your brain apparently works is determined by your peers.

Or become your own benchmark with Sens.ai by doing a GeniusPulse™ Assessment. This brain function test takes 15 minutes, and you can do it at home. You’ll personalize your brain training for your goals and continuously improve and adjust from where you are.

When you overtrain one thing, by definition, you’re undertraining something else, creating more imbalances in your system. The result? You can’t shift from one situation to the next. 

With Sens.ai, you can train all your brainwaves. Train for everything: Discover insights with gamma. Focus with beta. Restore with alpha. Find stillness with theta. Guide your whole brain toward favorable states with personalized Missions.

Winning against yourself is a never-ending commitment, so the challenge is usually sustainable change.

Gamified neurofeedback training makes it possible. In Sens.ai you captain a starship, exploring the galaxy in search of minerals to save your home. You’ll reward daily progress and desired brain patterns with interstellar soundscapes and app animations that get triggered by your brain signals (this is the neurofeedback). You’ll also unlock new planets and training programs as you go.

When it comes to improving your brain function, you have options: Caffeine, cognitive enhancers, and mushrooms like lion's mane blend into morning routines. And destination retreats and intensives can be helpful and exciting — but then you get ejected back to normal life until you can carve out another week. And you can’t forget to take supplements every day, or any effects will wear off. Come-and-go progress and results eat your time and drive. 

Always move forward with Sens.ai’s Mission protocols — a mix of neurofeedback training, light stimulation, and heart coherence biofeedback based on your brain function. You won’t have to think about what to do when, making it easier to get over the barriers of getting started, push past plateaus, and create new habits.

Sustainable change gets harder when you only have so many minutes in a day. You have to make them count.

With advanced light stimulation (transcranial photobiomodulation/tPBM), which gives your brain energy, you can change your brain state in minutes and make the most of your next block of time: Boost your performance for your next meeting, before you go on stage, or take the field. Remember how to relax. Or follow with a Train program and practice sustaining the brain state.

Improving your mental well-being and brain performance isn’t exactly like working out your body. Your emotional makeup and ability to process new information are nonphysical — hard to measure. And then what do you do with that information? Take EEGs (electroencephalography). EEGs record electrical activity in your brain. But the squiggles won’t tell you much until a brain expert interprets them. So EEGs get even less helpful when you’re trying to learn how to control your brainwaves in the moment.

With audio-visual biofeedback, you’ll play your brainwaves back to you as music and animations. In Sens.ai that happens faster than you can think about it. Flowers bloom, bells ring, waterfalls glow, and fog clears according to your brain signals. So when you get distracted, the music will die down and fog will roll back in — your cue to re-engage the brain state you’re training. You’ll be able to take that self-awareness and self-regulation with you into even the toughest situations.

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably wondered “am I meditating right? Is all meditation the same?” It isn’t. And each meditation style trains a specific headspace and brainwave.

Take the wondering out of meditation with Sens.ai’s progressive meditation training nudging you in the right direction. If you’re a beginner, you’ll become familiar with the major meditation styles and reduce mind-wandering. If you’re an experienced meditator, when you add precision to your practice, you could deepen and expand it.

Many people rely on feeling over EEG data or assume what’s working for someone else will work for them: Taking supplements could have benefits and meditation could be a positive thing, but there isn’t a brain supplement or meditation retreat out there that gives you hard data on your brain’s improvements. Not knowing what works and what doesn’t could lead to taking too many supplements, the wrong supplements, overtraining, undertraining, and the unwanted side effects.

With Sens.ai, you’ll see how long you stayed in the training zone, how in sync your brainwaves were, how strong your heart-mind connection was, your HRV, and how fast you came back from distractions. Dig into your performance after every session and reinforce how you feel with hard data.
