Neuphony is a powerful EEG Headset tool that can help you enhance your mental well-being and improve your focus through meditation, neurofeedback, and optimizing your lifestyle. If you are new to Neuphony and want to make the most out of your first week, this user guide will walk you through the process.
There are different ways you can indulge in meditation with our app.
NOTE: Please note that the Neurofeedback is available only in the in-built modules and not available if you opt for external audio sources.
The first step in using Neuphony effectively is to find the type of meditation that works best for you. This will help you reduce stress and anxiety while also improving your focus and concentration. Here’s a suggested plan for your first day:
It’s important to note that the quantifiable effects of meditation may take at least 4 weeks to become noticeable.
However, if you experience significant variability (more than 50% difference) in your focus and relaxation scores, it could indicate that you might prefer a change of audio.
In that case, try a different category of meditation or a different category of music for the next 4 days. Once you find a music or audio that resonates with you, make use of the integrated neurofeedback in the Neuphony app.
Managing stress is crucial for maintaining good mental health. Neuphony can help you achieve this by incorporating stress-reducing practices into your daily routine. Here’s a suggested plan:
Consistently engaging in stress-reducing neurofeedback sessions can lead to a noticeable decrease in stress levels over time. Similar to the previous plan, it may take at least 2 weeks to see quantifiable effects.
If you observe significant variability (more than 50% difference) in your relaxation scores, try a different category of meditation or music while sticking to the same schedule for the next week.
Your lifestyle and diet play a crucial role in your overall mental well-being. Neuphony can help you identify the effects of specific food items on your focus and relaxation scores. Here’s a suggested plan:
After completing the first week, you’ll have enough data to pinpoint the effects of specific food items on your focus and relaxation scores. For reliable results, consume the same food at least 5 times around the same time of day and calculate the average of the five sessions.
Neurofeedback is a powerful feature of Neuphony that can help train your brain for better focus and concentration. Here’s how you can maximize its benefits:
Familiarize yourself with how neurofeedback works in the app. Neuphony employs volume modulation to provide real-time feedback on your cognitive performance.
During a focus module, if you notice an increase in the volume of the music, it indicates that your focus is increasing as well.
Your task is to maintain the mental state and thoughts that helped you achieve that level of focus. This may be challenging at first but becomes easier with practice, typically after around 10-20 sessions.
The training effect of neurofeedback goes beyond the active focusing period. It helps your brain maintain better focus levels even when you’re not actively engaged in focusing.
You can observe and quantify the benefits of this brain training after approximately 30-40 sessions.
By following these guidelines, you can make the most out of your first week using Neuphony. Remember that everyone’s journey is different, so feel free to adapt the schedule according to your needs. Enjoy your meditation and neurofeedback experience!
