I learned to meditate years ago with the Muse and loved it. Now I am interested in and am buying the Mendi for focus. My hobby demands sustained focus and I am falling short and messing up. Looking forward to using the Mendi. Thanks for the discount!

[@crypticnomad]

As a developer and an owner of a muse device I can say I think the device itself is a good device but the app leaves a lot to be desired. I stopped using the app altogether, created my own and have just been recording my sessions

[@berdog2904]

Dear Dr Cody, I could not agree more with you on your evaluation. Let me just add that Mendi is a lot user friendly than Muse. Warm personal attention vs a long questionnaire before you can even write your request. For this reason alone I've totally abandoned Muse and will not return despite myself doing very well at some stage with the Muse S. Mendi has brought me nothing but positive vibes. Thank you for validating my feeling on this subject and bringing some technical aspects which I did not know.

Thanks for the book reference it sounds exactly what I'm looking for, I've given up on the muse, I find it too fraught with problems and consistency, I think if it was better engineered they would have a killer product,

[@McLKeith]

I have 2 Muse S's and have rarely had a problem. It could be because I have a shaved head. But Dr. Cody has convinced me that the Menhi is good. So I have ordered one and it should arrive in a couple of days.

[@johnPaul-qn3dg]

@@McLKeith I also have a shaved head, but a big one and I have many problems with the muse headband, especially the initial connecting, I'm up and down, wiping my head, wetting it, which I start to find annoying and stressful, which is not a good state to begin your med session. I'm back using insight timer, but I am open to a similar product, which works, when one comes on the market.

[@jellyphish2112]

Appreciate this...I have both, and have found benefits similar to yours. My only complaint is that the Muse can 'drop-out', even if everything is seemingly prepared and that can be frustrating, esp if I'm in a flow state in the meditation and then, committed to the Muse process, have to break to reconnect the device (I have found that adding salt to a bit of water at the connectors seems to help). A fun thing to do with the Mendi is pranayam/cyclic breathing, as it feels that it gives preferential power to the pre-frontal cortex (eg. the ability to make ball move on the app).

[@neurolifebalancedusseldorf3775]

I watched your Mendi videos and git inspired. I uses Mendi for >70 days every day without any day left. Unfortunately I did not get any result. I have not been able to get a least minimum of control of the Mendi ball. All reactions of the ball remained pure chance. And even in my daily life I did not notice any difference. I''ve asked 3 time the Mendi support for ideas or support. So I've stopped it pretty much frustrated and did not use since. Again not realising any difference.

[@atmosblack4366]

I'm meditating for over 30 years and recently bought a Muse, because I wanted a look at my brain wave patterns. After 3 weeks I'm totally disappointed, because I need the external Brain monitor app to even show me the actual brainwave reading. The Muse app and visualisation is a joke. It's utterly useless and looks like it's just a random graph without any meaning. To make things worse, the biofeedback seems to be ONLY for a certain kind of focussing mediation and only rewards that. So they are forcing you into what they think mediation is! My best meditations that were pure calm and stillness had the worst "ratings", while when I was just superficially focusing, I got over 400 birds in one session. After 3 weeks the readings are making even less sense to me. It's like the exact opposite of what is shown in the app that is true in my experience. Maybe for total beginners a focusing meditation is good to start with, but for me, I'm opening my awareness infinitely, producing high alpha, delta and gamma (only to be seen in mind monitor) - which is giving you wrong results in the Muse app. At least they should give us the choice and show meaningful graphs. So I'm only using it with MM now and without biofeedback (which makes it kind of useless). Thanks for the Mindi tipp - I ordered one and will test it out. Your videos are awesome and thanks for making them useful for advanced users like me! I wished I had discovered you earlier. Oh and btw. My most favorite wearable for relaxation is the VNS device Amofit S - it's even better than the Apollo Neuro (which is also great) - what makes it so useful is that you can wear it all day and it helps DURING stressful situations and not like most others AFTER (in mediation etc) - the Amofit is a life changing device for me. 😀

[@CodyRallMD]

Thanks Atmos! I will have to check out the Amofit S! My Muse feedback goes haywire when I expand consciousness as well. I like to use it for about 20minutes to stabilize my attention on the breath, then remove the headband when I want to elevate into higher Beta and Gamma frequencies. I talk about it in this video: Hope that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKi6iGqkntCMedU

[@atmosblack4366]

@@CodyRallMD Thanks! In the meantime I also found out that the app features I was missing were due to my language settings. I had to set my whole iphone to English (German is my native language) and now it's a totally different Muse app! The readings now make more sense - although it's annoying that there are no language settings in the app and I only found this out by experimenting. I also just do focusing meditation with it and for that it works well. By the way, the Amofit is also a PEMF device similar to the Neorythm (which I also love) but more for resonance with the Vagus nerve and you can wear it all day around your neck for continuous calming frequencies.

[@justenergy1724]

@@atmosblack4366 ordered the Mendi as well. How are your thoughts about it? I never heard of Amofit, but checked it out now and it seems promising about the parasympathic system. When do you use it and why actually?

[@DigitalSamTV]

Hey Atmos... Why do u like the amofit more than the Apollo neuron? Plz give me ur feedback, I'm looking at both of them

[@atmosblack4366]

@@DigitalSamTV I love both and they have become very valuable daily companions. The Amofit is much more subtle and gentle. I immediately sense when it's turned off though. It works like a break on my SNS. Like it's calming the noise in the background. I'd get both, because tbh they actually DO something, while all these other headbands etc just measure. I didn't profit at all from Muse and the others because I know how to meditate anyway. I needed support in daily life while being active and not to calm down AFTER stress by training. I've stopped using all others, because they were more of a burden and zero help at all.

Lots of questions with subjects like white noise usage vs pink noise usage between devices, eating habits or foods, drinking (alcohol, soda pop, juices, coffee some of which can increase anxiety). It sounds like a dependency can develop in this clip. How does poor cholesterol levels, sleep apnea, tachycardia effect devices?

[@Here-AndThere]

I ordered the Mendi. Heres hoping it helps me progress deeper into the jhanas, I've been having issues with either loosing awareness or getting distracted by thought. My technique is pretty solid, as I do get effects that tells me I'm making progress, however it'd be nice to get an extra edge. If the mendi doesn't work, I'll give the muse s a shot. Which would you say was more effective for getting into the jhanas, the muse or the mendi? And which one worked in solidifying meditative skill in the long term?

[@ProTT_VR]

muse can help a lot to check your overall state, how deep you go and how much you can still your mind when you record your raw brainwaves with mind monitor and then analyze the graph... mendi is a device which is supposed to help you concentrate better which then of course can help you meditate better, a thing which i wanna test out right now, that's why i am watching those videos to see how it works and if it has a live feedback coz i wanna use it while meditating and not those exercises with open eyes, so if that works i can use it in combination with the muse - mendi to try to enhance the ability to focus and then muse to check the overall state and progress

[@hollybigelow5337]

Ugh, maybe it's even in this video and I missed it, but I feel like I am listening to hours and hours of reviews and reading article after article to not get my questions answered. Basically, I'm trying to see if there is ANY product on the market that is somewhat accurate and user friendly that I can use to play MULTIPLE, INTERESTING GAMES and also where I can buy the games up front or get access to some free games to give me the incentive to play and help me have fun and not notice when I am training. If I get some horrible app that draws lines to tell me where I'm at, or even worse plays music or bird sounds or wind chimes I will probably throw the thing across my room in anger multiple times. I will not ever use it. Also, I plan to work OT to be able to afford this, so while I can do a one-time purchase I absolutely refuse to sign up for a subscription, plus I literally can't afford it and am splurging anyway. Can anyone answer these questions for me? Are there any fun games with a device that happens to be even a little bit accurate where I can buy the game one time and not have to pay for a costly subscription? Ok, if I have to pay $1 per month I might be able to swing that, but I absolutely will not pay more than $20 per year for a subscription.

[@yugiohmane4716]

Haven't noticed anything with the Mendi but the Muse S does help a little bit when it comes to concentration. I find the Muse S and Mendi to be lacking when compared to getting professional neurofeedback at a clinic. The difference between Muse S and going to a Neurofeedback clinic is night and day for me when i use the Muse S it only lasts a few hours but when i went to a clinic the "flow" focus feeling lasted a couple days which is much stronger than taking my ADHD medication Concerta/Vyvanse. I'm going to return the Mendi because i see no real benefit but the Muse S helps slightly. Unfortunately the clinic I go to isn't covered by my health insurance thus i can't afford the treatment sessions so i'm going to switch insurances to Blue Cross because a different neurofeedback clinic accepts that. Which brings me to my last thoughts on home neurofeedback vs clinician neurofeedback, professional neurofeedback will always be better because the sensors on the devices they use cover the whole brain not just a part of it like the Muse S/ Mendi but the treatment is very costly. Muse S only has 4 sensors but a Cap has 21 or more in comparison.

[@yugiohmane4716]

I'm looking to by myself a neurofeedback cap, amp, and software but i don't know where to start but i know that isn't cheap but beats the cost of going to a neurofeedback clinic can anyone give me recommendations? I already own the Muse S/Mendi and they aren't good enough because they don't have enough sensors and they neurofeedback that the Muse S uses isn't accurate enough even with the different soundscapes. Looking for software that has the traditional neurofeedback that makes the beeping noise not ocean waves ect.

[@SERAVE1984]

I had me the mendi and i noticed that to get the ball moving out well you had the tense your forehead. It didn’t actually measure my focus, it was more of a measurement of blood flow of my forehead muscles. I would love to see someone control the ball well with a complete relaxed forehead. The idea sounds great but I honestly think they need to remove the noise of the forehead muscles

Muse has gone to a membership format. I was on their site a few days ago to buy a backup S Gen 2 headband-only (without a pod) and they are not listed in anymore. Fortunately, the Chat section gave me a link. I like to use my Muse S in unconventional ways. For example, I will turn negative feedback back off, or down very low. Sometimes, I turn the birds down or off and just check the graphs afterward. I don't get the stillness feature. I am always at 0% and I only make slight posture adjustments.

Thank you for this great comparison video. I have a question I havnt been able to find the answer for - I can’t help but think how this drastically differs from playing video games, for example. Even say Chess, where intense focus is happening. Wouldn’t video games also train the brain in a similar sense, as the Muse etc. Seem to almost mimic a video game. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you!

[@ProTT_VR]

of course it does but in a video game you don't have feedback to help you check how good you did and how to improve

Hi Cody, I hope you're well buddy! Love your videos! They're awesome! I was wondering if you knew much about The Bio-Acoustical Utilization Device (BAUD) ?....and maybe if you had any experience using it? Thanks in advance! Russ (I've tried posting a comment a few times but seems to disappear.... maybe its because there is a website link in the comments and its not allowed?? Apologies if you've already seen this message)

[@CodyRallMD]

Hello Russell! Thanks for the support! No, this is the first time seeing your comments. I haven't seen the BAUD before, I just took a glance at their website and it looks interesting. Have you had a good experience with it?

[@superwickedcoolkid]

@@CodyRallMD Thanks for your reply! No, I haven't used it! But have been looking into it. Is it a totally different kind of device to the ones that you have used?

I’m new tech geek, and I love the data driven content but… I need to say also that you are extremely handsome and have hypnotizing green eyes 🙈🔥❤️

What would you recommend someone with adhd?

[@unconnected]

Here's my honest objective review of this product, you can trust me and by the way click this link where I can get paid by the makers of this app for referring you. Sarcasm and snide tone aside, it's impossible to derive any more value from content like this than we would from an Advertisement

[@jamesducker9947]

Hey Dr Cody! Thanks so much for your incredibly detailed videos. They are a huge help but I was wondering if you could advise me on something very particular??? I suffer from partial complex seizures (form of epilepsy) from a sis in the front right of my brain. Because of this my mind is moving much faster than most people, leading to lack of concentration and then suffering from seizures (usually in my sleep) to almost restart and calm my brain down again. I’m really wondering if one of these headsets may be able to calm my brain down naturally and perhaps have an effect on my seizures. If so which one would you recommend would have the best effect? I just can’t decide but the Mendi frontal lobe focal pointers sound promising. Any advise or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

[@amlaaaa479]

I want to improve my focus. I have a Muse Gen. 2. Should I rather get Myndlift with it or the Mendi?

[@trialstud]

Doc, I would like to share with everyone. ZenWave - Russian quantum REG device and mind machine, those two help me meditate and harness my Intention. ❤

[@giano6343]

Mendi can also used with eyes closed to meditate!

[@giano6343]

But I saw that with mendi you can get feedback in different ways. Sometimes I am focused in a way that feels not good but mendi does response. It is more like a fight or flight focus. I think the key with mendi is to get focused in a relaxed way that feels good.

[@CodyRallMD]

Yes you could just hear for the pings with your eyes closed I suppose!

[@CodyRallMD]

Agreed, you don't want to be too activated. Soft relaxed focus is best for sure. Thanks for the commend Giano!

Honestly I had Muse since day one it case one the original. And this device to this day I feel like it is way overpriced. Their integreation for the app is ridicoulse. At this time still they have no integration of using the I watch to corrdinate HRV readings, see your HR, RR, and SPO2. During medicaiton these data tha can be used to indicate level stress on top of you brainwave activity. Yet muse refuses to update the app and in connection with the watch.

[@xingmenneigong]

Bluetooth hurts my brain along with wifi, phone signals etc. ESPECIALLY during meditation, so these headbands are silly. I cant even use a headtorch because the emf hurts my brain. I was hoping to create gamma brainwaves with a muse headset, which I thought the headset did..

[@MandiSamara]

I feel like Mendi would be good for my ADHD based on your review here.

[@juelz5844]

I just got a mendi, my son has adhd and I am ptsd. I am just getting started and I am very curious if we can improve ourselves with the biofeedback ❤

Your lense is the wrong focal length.

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

I’ve used Muse on and off for years since they first came out and the one thing that frustrates me is getting in position correctly and I wish I could have the minutes back where I couldn’t. I couldn’t get a position I couldn’t get it. On the other hand, I thought it was tremendous and the old days they had a guy that created separate app so you could see your brain. Recently uses actually added that I think, I think I’m gonna try one more time by the newest new band because mine broke. I have PTSD acute insomnia. Brain inflammation from Running punched my head at Dr. Andrew Fagelman and so New York City. A hole always punched in my retina retina attached to the brain. No apologies just more Crimes, including by the NYPD, who apparently really like this doctor and his employee.

The word is "f-R-ustrated". There is an "R" in it

[@crypticnomad]

Mendi support absolutely sucks and so much so that I actually doubt they have any support staff at all. I've been waiting for over 10 days for a response from them. I would buy one of their devices right now but they don't have Mexico listed as a country to get it shipped to and apparently they have no support reps.

[@vijayd8634]

I already bought it. But cannot use it -- I have been waiting for a reply (their app will not even let you in because the verif email never comes!). It has been 8 days now. Help email is probably unmanned. It is not even heavy, so can't even use it as a paperweight!

[@crypticnomad]

@@vijayd8634 I finally got a response by hounding them on twitter. I replied to one of their tweets and then kept replying every couple days saying I still had not gotten a response.

[@juelz5844]

I had a great experience with the customer support before and after purchase in june-july 2023. maybe they improved it do to feedback? They get back to me usually within a few hours to a day and are super polite and helpful.
