Helping children on the Autism Spectrum

What is Mente Autism? Mente Autism is a clinical-quality EEG device that uses neurofeedback technology to help children with autism. Designed for home use, Mente Autism helps relax the minds of children on the spectrum which in turns helps them to focus better and engage positively with their environment.

Neurofeedback system for safe home use Mente Autism is an easy-to-use, effective neurofeedback system for safe home use by children with autism. It consists of a headband, an application (app) and a cloud component. Its unique technology creates “tailor-made" sonified neurofeedback for the children who use it. After each 40-minute morning therapy session, the user uploads the data registered during the session to the Cloud service by synchronising the Mente Autism App (using an Internet connection). The Mente Autism report records and measures the child’s progress. Each session report can...

Mente Autism reads four brain waves but focuses on those patterns of excess Delta and Theta waves. Delta brain waves are associated with sleep and closed eyes and people on the autism spectrum have abnormally high Delta and Theta brainwaves, which peak constantly, even when they are awake. The result is that people on the autism spectrum are often isolated, in their own world. Mente Autism uses an auditory system to reduce these Delta brain waves. It does this by creating personalised auditory stimulation to reduce unwanted brain waves. The child listens to these sounds via the Mente Autism...

How it works The Mente Autism headset records brainwave levels in real time Session data is stored on the headset device and this is processed on board in real time. The Mente Autism app, if connected to the device using an Internet connection, provides a graphical representation of the brainwaves before, during and after the 40-minute session. A report can be viewed using the user dashboards on the website or in the app. “My son, 12 years of age, has been using Mente for the past four years. The changes we have seen in him since he started using Mente have been staggering. Once a highly...

A frontrunner in its field, Mente Autism is a clinical-quality EEG device using state-of-the-art hardware and software to provide an effective neurofeedback system that is designed for home use. Comprising a headset, an application (app) and a cloud component, the technology creates individual,"tailor-made" auditory stimulation which is therapeutic for the children who use it. Mente Autism is a portable system. Its 4-channel EEG headband houses five highly sensitive electrodes which record electroencephalographic (EEG) potentials from the scalp in real time. This EEG signal is amplified,...

Front sensor: • • • • • Dry surface to user’s skin Consists of a conductive membrane behin which is electrode gel typically used in clinical EEG systems Cushioned sensor surface conforms to irregular body surfaces better than metal discs Low-noise conduction between body and sensor Stable Ag/AgCl Interface • Impedance 10 - 100 K on unprepared skin Back sensor: • Novel shape optimized for hair penetration and scalp contact • Special silver coating imparts optimal conductivity to the sensor’s surface for the best possible signal transduction • Flexible material safely flattens under pressure...

Safe and easy home use Mente Autism has been designed for home use. Safe and simple to activate, it requires little to no direct supervision and does not restrict users and data collection to a clinical setting. Portable Light and portable, Mente Autism can be used outdoors as long as the noise levels in the area will not hinder the child from hearing the sounds emitted by Mente Autism through the earphones. Personalised therapy Mente Autism's unique technology creates a personalised neurofeedback therapy that is specific to each user. Comfortable headband The headband is ergonomically...
