[@jonathanburgessmdmph1143]

Great videos. FYI, my friend, exercise does not release CNS endorphins. It does increase systemic BDNF (a contraction-induced protein) that passes through the BBB and increases dendritic arborization, a marker that correlates with the resolution of depression and more flexible thinking.

[@tommygun296]

Great compilation÷! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@theinfiniteperspective896]

What we really need is to learn how our own bodies can be used as a neurofeedback device.

[@lucapham-trong7718]

how?

[@thomasfitzpatrick8987]

Thank you for this. Are there any devices that can measure epilepsy or absence seizures?

[@thomasdudley823]

Great information ! Thanks ! Will you consider a review of Resona Health VIBE ?

[@user-ym5ge3lm5u]

Clarity on what to get out of each device. One of the best reviews around. Worth my time.

[@MomentMoving]

Thank you for sharing such thorough and clear reviews on Brain Devices!! I would love to know if you have tried the Vizr visual stimulation brain device?

[@jmoaexy]

What would you do to yourself with a PEMF equipment? Would you use it for personal use?

[@JasonZorn]

TRIPP on the Meta Quest 3 is really great. Would be nice to see a review of this type of tech!

[@PinkFlowers365]

thanks

[@NicoSpeaking]

It’s so exciting 🎉 what a fabulous summary- your enthusiasm is infectious 😮I’m so completely gadget obsessed- what are your thoughts on BrainTap ? It would be amazing to have full immersion experiences available for home use - I’m still waiting for the Opus soundbed to be delivered - how cool would it be to stack fully immersive neuro sensory experiences and hypnosis to help recover from trauma and of course for productivity and brain 🧠 health ❤

[@CodyRallMD]

Hahah sounds like you would be stacking quite a few experiences! Thanks for watching. I would be more interested in BrainTap if they incorporated some measurement (EEG or fNIRS) into their hardware. Otherwise it is fun to use.

[@brianaim1858]

Hi Cody, thank you for your videos. Why do you think about HRV training, and are you going to evaluate the heart math devices?

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes I'm doing it right now! What would you like to know about it?

[@brianaim1858]

@CodyRallMD Thank you, Dr. Rall. They claim that the heart controls the brain, which counter to popular belief that it's the brain that control the heart via the vagus nerves!

[@user-xd3hh6xv1w]

Great video! I'm looking for the right solution to track self guided meditation sessions - I don't want guided recordings or games to follow. Will muse allow this? Or does anyone have any other advice for this use case? 🙏

[@user-hr8iz9lb3g]

Thanks a lot, @CodyRallMD. What do you think of PEMF technologies for 2024 ?

[@CodyRallMD]

I said quite a bit about PEMF in 2023 so decided to give it a rest for a year. Not too much new on the horizon yet for updates. I'm sure I'm missing something out there, so that could change.

[@user-hr8iz9lb3g]

Thank you for your answer @@CodyRallMD

[@thefalsecritic9520]

Hey Cody, how good is the sensai device? Like can it replace in-clinic neurofeedback or is it just the best at home alternative available? How good is it compared to myndlift?

[@bilrez195]

Hi Dr. Cody, thank you for your presentations, I am a psychotherapist specializing in Psycho Spiritual integration of Awakening experiences. Do you know of any VR with biofeedback that can control the Audio Visual Entrainment to move the brain in to various states such as Alpha (8 to 10 Hz) Beta (12 to 40 Hz)Delta (1 to 4 Hz)Theta (4 to 7 Hz) Gamma (40 to 70 Hz) Sort of like the Kasina Light & Sound DeepVision™with Ganzfeld Frames, or David's Delight Pro but with VR and Biofeedback, were the biofeedback controls the patterns and the speed and colors of the flashing lights, creating a journey through the different mind states so that one can recognize when one is in theta, or alpha, or delta state, for example? Thank you :)

[@YuriiDopa]

Are you going to create overview about sens ai device?

[@sleep57]

Fascinating collection of devices commented on but while it interesting to see what is "liked" the absence of any actual data in this review reduces it's utility. Objective data could either reflect the accuracy of what these devices are measuring or documenting the outcomes of use.

[@maraganivamsi6973]

Hi Can you please recomand me which device is best for research purpose on the brian waves like Alpha, Beta, Ghama, Theta and Delta as well.

[@somaticdrummer]

Absolutely love your videos! I'm a career drummer studying Somatic Experiencing trauma healing who is interested in neurofeedback to potentially improve outcomes in both domains. Which device might be best used during drumming? Any resources you recommend linking neurofeedback and trauma therapy? Thanks!

[@susandersen4067]

@codyrallMD thanks for this video (and a few others that I've watched)! Do you know if there is any being used with Alzheimer's patients or who I could reach out to and ask? My mom has alzheimer's and I know there has to be cutting edge tools/studies being done. Thank you!

[@CC-jr5vk]

Any discounts for neurable headphones?

[@buckoa]

Thoughts on Neurovizr

[@keithklassen3634]

Great info as usual. For HRV you have never reviewed the heart math products. Great HRV trainers. Been using them in our clinic for over 20 years

[@NicoSpeaking]

True... I have HeartMath and use the EliteHRV app - do you have any other favorites that you use at your clinic? :D

[@CodyRallMD]

Good feedback, maybe I should include them more.

[@Dr.KeithKlassen]

At our clinic since 1997 we have been using full neurofeedback training, which is not a wearable. We have found that HRV home training to be very helpful to our clients. We now ask clients at home to use the Heart Math Innerbalance, which can be used with the app inner balance on the phone, clipped to the ear. The feedback is the breathing pacer goes green when good HRV coherence is reached. Also the EMwave, with the thumb, has been around for 20 years. For golf you may find the old youtubes teaching EMwave HRV to medium golfers interesting. Lots of literature showing learning to go green (high coherence) and then using it when you go to hit the ball (there is an ear clip) leads to 20% improvements overall. Thank you for talking about the pulseto, didnt know it was around. As you will know they are looking into blocking injections into the stellate ganglion block. Seems to me stimulating this has promise.

[@Eflodur]

Hey what about the fitbit sense 2 or the Google watch 2. They do hrv and skin temperature and ox2 and pulse it should give you good feedback to your stresslevel.

[@finhalobosar]

for a study season, which one is the best? any of they could do the measure of this?

[@SveinOlavGlesaaenNyberg]

I came here because I had just purchased the Muse S. It seems it will be very useful for me, but I *did* want feedback on how much Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta I have under different conditions. Bare bones just that and nothing more. Are there apps for the Muse offering that, or gear offering brain wave overview (and essentially that)?

[@Langkowski]

Since I was in my early 20s, I have had huge problems with reading. Instead of doing it automatically, I am extremely aware of it while reading, and often has to read the same sentence several times before I'm able to move on. Some people say that when they read, they get lost in the book,, and suddenly several hours have passed. I used to be like that too. Now I am very aware of where I am all the time if I try to read. Do you know what kind of brain device that could possibly be of any help for a situation like that?

[@bennguyen1313]

Would liked to have heard a mention about pricing.. especially if some of these devices require monthly subscription payments in order to work.. i.e. if the company/internet is down the device is still usable. How does the Pulsetto compare with NeoRhythm?

[@ashburnconnecttv7860]

I returned Pulsetto for a refund!

[@zenova-pump]

Which of them can improve my Chess level? ( have problems with blunders, maybe due to adhd).

[@andrzejj9]

Can any of these devices act as EEG? I'm interested in measuring brain waves during meditaion to be able to tell how much time I was actually in alpha state and how much in other states.

[@clyde2801]

What do you think about Vital Neuro?

[@u-liconfoosius6432]

Thank you Dr Cody. Good Overview. Glad that I already own a lot from your list. Pulsetto really stands out because is is the only neurostimulation device - and I can tell you it works.

[@NicoSpeaking]

I’ve got most of the affordable gadgets on the list too - Pulsetto is a wonderful tool! I’m debating spending $1200 for the Neurosity 😮😮😅

[@CodyRallMD]

Pulsetto is fun

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I am excited to be working with Pulsetto more.

[@adrianrivas5147]

​​@@NicoSpeakingwhich ones would you say work better for you? I got the mendi but can't see much benefits tbh.

[@NicoSpeaking]

@@adrianrivas5147 totally different efficacy - if a product has a good return policy I typically will try and buy - return if I don’t get results- Pulsetto is a little sticky and designed for quick relief and Mendi requires consistency to build focus 🥰 are you being consistent? It’s tricky to measure focus with certainty… I do love both ❤️

[@usmanshahid2219]

I bought a few different headbands based off your reviews (I believe it was the muse and the mendi) - tbh the changes were very minor. I meditate regularly - you dont need the muse, and the one where you focus your mind for the ball was definitely placebo. You overhype things brother.

[@saifulhaque5135]

Overhype=money

[@onlinesavant]

"The one where you move the ball with your brain." You've claimed to use it, and conclude that it's merely a "placebo", but you don't even know the name of the product? Sure Jan....

[@mrnewyorkcity7]

😂lol 👍 thanks 4 your honest opinion bro

[@Michael-ze5xw]

He has affiliate links to all of them of course he is just trying to convince you to buy stuff so he makes money …this isn’t a review it’s an infomercial

[@usmanshahid2219]

thats unfortunate if true@@Michael-ze5xw

[@AwakenedVibration]

Which device will help best with clarity and decision making when too many options lead creative minds paralyzed to make decisions with confidence to take action.

[@FortniteFamiljen]

Can you please explain more about what the quarterback is using. He i using Muse S band, but what about the other cable that is connected to the Muse S band? Is that something you get when you join the program with a myndlift coach?

[@user-cj6gc8uz7e]

please provide the perfoamance, patent number and price of each product

[@kn1g1337]

Hi, I see that the devices are more convenient to use for different applications. I am considering getting a Neurosity Crown. In theory it sounds like I could replicate functionality of the Muse and Mendi devices. Or is there something the Muse or Mendi can measure which the Crown cannot? The Crown has way more sensors but Muse and Mendi have the sensors in the front. Is there a difference in the data I can get from the devices? Sorry, I just saw your video today and didn't know these devices exist before... Great videos!

[@gemsher78]

Waiting for a response. Attempting to see which device is bed for me.

[@christiea772]

I’d love to try all of this but the problem is data collection and usage. I would love it if they didn’t need to be connected to the internet

[@devilalwayscry]

which one actually measure the wave patterns?

[@user-cj6gc8uz7e]

i want to know the product name and price

[@borysrudenko7942]

Hi. I like video which you prepare about different devices for brain monitoring. Recently I read about HemiSynk technology. This is a sound which generate frequency which synchronize left and right brain parts. Have you heard about? That would be interesting to see how this sound contribute on brain. If you will have interest on that may be it can be a subject for next video.

[@BenMcClellan-Summit]

The HemiSynk is very similar to the AwakendMind headset, except it also offers a frontal lobe visor with synchronized flashing lights.

[@thefalsecritic9520]

Hey Cody, I just purchased a used Muse S gen 2 headband for 130 dollars thanks to your videos. I have a question: Is it true that training too much alpha waves as one does with the Muse relaxation exercises can be bad for you and slow you down too much if you dont also train other brain waves? I have adhd btw.

[@CodyRallMD]

I do not believe that training alpha during meditation will affect your ADHD

[@muhammedsalihozturk5526]

Hello, I just discovered you and I really like your videos. I would like to consult you on something. I want to submit a project to a competition with an EEG device. In the project, I will convert brain waves into motion with robotic coding. For this, I only have a budget of 500 dollars for the EEG device. I thought about using the Emotiv insight model, but things like license fees got in the way. I guess I can't communicate the device with the computer without getting a license. I don't have complete information on this subject, so I'm in the middle for the device I will buy. Which is the best device suitable for my budget for the project I will do, can you inform me exactly how is the license issue for Emotiv insight? Thank you.

[@ChrisOmeltschenko]

Nice info. Just got my Muse and signed up for Myndlift. Do you have a recommendation for earbuds that are good for side-sleeping?

[@CodyRallMD]

No, that's a good question. Luckily the Digital Sleeping Pill has the sound of rain and thunder so might not be to disruptive to partner's sleep.

[@ChrisOmeltschenko]

@@CodyRallMD how does the sound get the ears with the digital sleeping pill? Haven’t tried it yet. Waiting for kit to arrive from MyndLift.

Hi Cody, What's your take on Dr. Patrick Porters award winning Brain Tap?

Love my Pulsetto, Muse-S and Neorythm. My Woop never arrived, so hope it's useful when it finally arrives. I prefer my Garmin Fenix 7X and HRM fitness wise.

Would prefer to chat if you have time. I just don’t like being on the phone all the time, going back-and-forth reading and listening to videos. It looks as though you’ve experienced enough of these devices, perhaps we could have a conversation?

[@MysmarttvCloud]

Have you tried Dreem 3 headband? It will now run with Beacon. I used Dreem 2 for several years and it was already better than Muse 2 back then.

[@miketoner76]

Hey Cody... love your channel. I would like to know on the above as well... Is there any way for retail purcharses to acquire a Dreem 3? I had a Dreem 2 and absolutely loved it, but a tiny piece of the strap came apart and rendered it not usable. I have emailed Dreem at least 6 or 7 times and not had any reply, which i found super disappointing, as the main body of the headband is still working perfectly. Also, I have not found out that the Dreem 2 no longer works with the app. I would absolutely love to buy a Dreem 3 so if anyone knows how you can get one, please let me know,...

[@drizzizzo]

You mentioned help with insomnia, specifically around falling asleep. Have you heard any information about staying asleep?

Awesome video once again. Just a note, be careful using AI and ML interchangeable. ML is used to predict results based on historical data. AI is a psudomagic computer algorithm that you feed wast amounts of text and suddenly it can talk.

[@antonyprinz4744]

Which one is the best to study and memorize informations?

[@CodyRallMD]

The Neurable headphones coming out next month will help you keep focus for longer. No devices yet for actually improving memory. I recommend checking out the book "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer.

[@AnotherCoyote]

I'd like to know if you can cheat with any of these devices; Like can you take them off and put them around a plant and achieve the same results (i.e. not actually reliable) like you can with the ones that clip to your ear lobe in the past. One woman on youtube demonstrated how the Muse cannot tell the difference between a person concentrating on peaceful meditation and doing intense office work on their computer. Considering I have induced out of body experiences with single focus meditation IRL and want to continue improving this ability, knowing if these headbands actually work for single focus is VERY important to me for choosing which one I will buy next!

I watched your review and got muse and sens AI couldn't be worse, sens AI can't work at all.

In general the concept is not the best; It is rather expected that it will only be a reading of the neuronal frequencies, not inducing them... because: it is invasive, in the sense of starting the brain's ability to learn, for example, we plan to go towards deep meditation, theta waves, and through an element, vibrating when we move away from the purpose: this is how we truly train so that the BRAIN LEARNS to generate these states, when we do not have the element of neurofeedback vs. neurostimulation, which is desirable. With an ideal device like this, we would go, why not, to the state of ENLIGHTENMENT. The feedback referred to can be either visual, auditory or sensory, better yet: triple feedback! ✨🙂💭❗✅
