MYNDLIFT
IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN’S PERFORMANCE
Myndlift is an app that helps you retrain your brain to improve your daily performance by playing a series of digital games. With a lightweight headset (Muse), we can monitor your brain activity (neurofeedback) remotely. By recording real-time displays of your brain activity, we can adjust your training program to help your brain learn how to self-regulate and change unproductive or disruptive patterns of behavior to improve mental clarity.
At NeuroZone, speech-language pathologist Erin Badour has helped clients enhance their quality of life and well-being with innovative software such as Myndlift. We can also adjust your training program to suit your specific needs. You can take back control over your life from the comfort of your own home, or at our offices in Culver City, Santa Monica, or Redondo Beach.
Contact our office or call (310) 821-3640 to learn more about how we can help you improve your quality of life and daily function.

HOW MYNDLIFT WORKS
Conditions that affect attention and daily performance are extremely common. Myndlift software provides access to a series of games that are controlled by neurofeedback to enhance your mental clarity. During the treatment, we will measure your brain waves and the Myndlift software will adjust the pace of the game you are playing to help your brain maintain focus. The games you complete on the Myndlift app will depend on your specialized treatment plan and each game is adjusted in real-time based on your brain’s electrical impulses. The treatment is especially helpful for improving your daily performance if you have any of the following conditions:
- •ADD/ADHD
- •Anxiety
- •Depression
- •Addiction
- •Illness
- •OCD
- •Alcoholism
- •Insomnia
- •Cognitive dysfunction
- •PTSD
As conditions such as anxiety, autism, ADHD, and stress have become more common, neurofeedback treatments have as well. Approximately 366 million people are affected by ADHD (1) which can have a significant impact on focus, social relationships, and quality of life. We can create a personalized treatment plan based on your medical history and health conditions to help you retrain your brain to sustain focus on daily tasks and regulate your attention. Unlike other devices that measure brain activity, Myndlift is a convenient treatment that is easy to use because it does not require us to place electrodes on your scalp or in-office treatments. (2) Myndlift leverages electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback training to help you train your brain to function more effectively which you can measure from the convenience of your home.
WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?
Neurofeedback is a therapeutic approach that trains individuals to better control their brain activity. It uses advanced technology to provide real-time feedback about the brain’s electrical activity, allowing patients to learn how to improve their mental processes through various exercises. Neurofeedback therapy is growing in popularity as a method of cognitive enhancement and mental health treatment, particularly for conditions such as anxiety and ADHD. The brain is like a muscle; with proper training, it can become stronger and more efficient.

CANDIDATES & CONSULTATION
During your consultation, Erin can discuss your symptoms to determine the best treatment plan for you. She will discuss any issues you have with your attention span or current conditions you are managing on a day-to-day basis to understand how neurofeedback may help to improve them. Suitable candidates for neurofeedback therapy can include anyone seeking performance optimization or cognitive enhancement.
If your symptoms are triggered by a specific event, we can discuss whether or not you will need to avoid triggers during your treatment. We can also discuss your lifestyle. Taking good care of your body will be important for making lasting changes to your brain waves and thought patterns.
TREATMENT PROCESS
During a Myndlift treatment, you will place the Muse headset on your scalp. The sensors in the headset will allow us to analyze your brain waves to understand your performance and optimize your brain function. You will play games to reinforce patterns based on your brain wave activity and we can analyze your progress to help you improve behavioral patterns remotely.
While you play, you will notice that when your attention changes or you become distracted, the pace of the game changes. The headset monitors your brain activity and adjusts the game to keep your brain engaged, offering rewards for consistent attention. After you finish a session, you can remove the headset. You do not need to wear the headset unless you are playing the game on the Myndlift app. During your treatment, we will schedule regular follow-up appointments.
MYNDLIFT RESULTS
Clients typically notice gradual improvements in their symptoms as they progress through multiple sessions. Some can enjoy the benefits within a few sessions, while others require several weeks to notice significant changes. After several treatments, you can enjoy improved focus, decreased anxiety, and enhanced emotional well-being. If you suffer from repetitive thought patterns or conditions that disrupt your daily life and routine, you can enjoy an improvement in the way you feel. However, it can take up to 12 weeks and 30-40 sessions to teach your brain to function differently, depending on the patterns you would like to change, your medical history, and your consistency with the treatment plan. If you take good care of yourself, get enough sleep, eat healthy meals, and stay consistent with your treatment, you can enjoy long-lasting results.
BRAIN MAPPING
Erin can also use brain mapping to understand more about your brain and the symptoms you are experiencing. Brain mapping is a specialized evaluation that helps professionals understand the brain’s structure and activity. With a brain mapping evaluation, we can better analyze the structure of your brain in addition to the brain activity that is causing repetitive behaviors or thought patterns. Before a brain mapping evaluation, you will need to avoid caffeine or other stimulants, as they may interfere with readings. To learn more about our other services, see the blog.
