Brain Training Program
At Zen Focus, we offer an innovative approach to mental well-being through our Brain Training Program. Using the latest in EEG (electroencephalogram) technology, this program is designed to help you enhance cognitive function, reduce stress, improve attention, and promote emotional balance—all from the comfort of your own home.
Our program focuses on training the brain to function at its optimal level by leveraging EEG (electroencephalogram) technology. This technology tracks your brain’s electrical activity in real-time, providing you with immediate feedback that helps you regulate and improve your brainwave patterns. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your focus for peak performance, reduce worry and nervousness, or achieve a deeper state of relaxation, Zen Focus offers a comprehensive solution.
How EEG Brain Training Works
Electrical signals generated in the brain reflect brain activity and your current mental state. EEG is used to measure this brain activity in real time.
This EEG data is decomposed into distinct brainwaves which are associated with particular mental states. For example, alpha brainwaves usually signify a relaxed state.
You train your brain by playing specialized games or watching videos. These react to your brain patterns. When your brainwaves are in the target range, you will advance in the game or the video will be bright and auditable.
With repeated trainings, you learn to control your brain activity. Overtime the brain networks begin to function properly & communicate better. This leads to better performance in many areas of your life.
Overcome Life's Challenges
At ZenFocus, we understand that life’s challenges and chronic issues can weigh you down. We focus on understanding your unique brain needs, using science-based techniques to rewire your brain and eliminate troublesome issues, and implementing strategies for lasting change. This promotes peak performance and overall wellbeing.
Chronic issues can lead to a downward spiral, leaving you overwhelmed, lost, suffering, frustrated, and feeling hopeless. But there is hope! Our personalized neurofeedback programs can help you break free from this cycle, creating an upward spiral towards the life you deserve.
The Zen Focus Process
1. Attend your Initial Consultation
At ZenFocus, your journey commences with a meaningful conversation and personalized guidance from our program director, John Capps, PhD.

John is a clinically-trained health research psychologist who specializes in neuropsychological assessment, clinical neuromodulation techniques, and health psychology. John received his doctorate in 2023, winning the outstanding dissertation award from UTEP with his collaborated study with TMS El Paso. The study demonstrated the antidepressive effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a diverse border population. It also demonstrated how demographical and clinical variables are associated with treatment response.
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to share your unique life situation, experiences, challenges, and goals. This dialogue is the foundation upon which we build your path to neuro-wellness and better living.
Our program director will demo the Zen Focus neurofeedback programs and provide you with all the necessary information you need to begin your journey. This crucial step is all about ensuring that our neurofeedback program aligns seamlessly with your unique needs and schedule and allows you to enroll in our neurofeedback program.
2. Receive your training kit, Brain Map & Assessment, & Personalized Plan
Once enrolled, you will receive your Muse EEG device, your program director will conduct your qEEG brain mapping, overall assessment, and will build your personalized program plan.

Once enrolled, the second step in your journey is the essential process of qEEG Brain Mapping. Every individual’s brain is distinct, just as their challenges and aspirations vary. That’s why we use Myndlift’s advanced software to conduct a sequential qEEG Brain Map. This allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your brain’s intricate functions, creating a brain map. This critical step sets the foundation for a comprehensive and personalized plan tailored to your unique needs.
First, ZenFocus will provide you with your Myndlift Neurofeedback Kit. This kit is leased (free of charge) to you for the duration of your program. There is a lease contract which must be signed along with a security deposit ($150/$250) which will be returned when you turn in your device after completing your program.
Next, one of our program directors will guide you through use and setup of your device and conduct your qEEG brain mapping. The qEEG Brain Mapping process provides valuable insights into the frequency and location of your brain’s activity. It’s akin to creating a detailed roadmap of your brain’s functioning, enabling us to identify the underlying causes of any mind and body issues you may be experiencing and finding areas which can improve your performance and well-being. During this you will also complete several questionnaires and computerized tasks to measure different brain functions and your current mental health status.
Once the brain mapping is complete, our program director will review the results with you. This is a pivotal moment, as it helps us connect the dots between your brain, your specific issues, your behaviors, and your overall well-being. With the data from your brain mapping, a comprehensive and personalized plan will be tailored to your individual needs, current issues, and goals. This plan serves as the guiding blueprint for your neurofeedback program.
3. Perform Your Remote Training Sessions
Following the schedule set by your program director, you will train your brain using games, videos, audio, and/or meditations.

Once you’ve completed your qEEG Brain Mapping and received your personalized plan, you are ready to start your neurofeedback program from the comfort of your own home utilizing Myndlift application.
Our remote training sessions are user-friendly and accessible through an app on your tablet or smartphone. These neurofeedback sessions consist of games, videos, or audio. These all react in real time to your brain waves. Reinforcement allows your brain to automatically adapt to the desired brain waves in specific areas. Through repeated sessions your brain uses neuroplasty to rewire and strenghten connections in positive pathways.
Likewise, there are sessions where you can watch your favorite YouTube or Streaming service videos while training your brainwaves.
How does this work? When your brainwaves match the zones set by your program director, you move forward in the neurofeedback game. For videos, audio, or streaming, the volume goes up and the video gets brighter. If your brainwaves are outside these zones, you won’t move forward in the game, and the screen will go black with very low sound. Based on your qEEG brain map and symptoms, neurofeedback will train certain brainwaves in specific areas to meet your needs.
The remote neurofeedback meditations via Myndlift and Muse are a unique offering, combining the power of meditation with cutting-edge neuroscience. Not only does our device detect brainwaves, but also monitors movement and your heartbeat – this allows your to get critical insight on your body and mind while emerged in a calming and rich meditative environment via audio feedback.
Achieving optimal results through neurofeedback requires consistent effort, with most individuals undergoing 20-30 minute sessions 5-7 times a week. Typically, about 30 to 60 sessions are needed to reach desired outcomes. These sessions are essential for reinforcing positive brainwave patterns and fostering lasting well-being, as gradual yet significant changes occur over time.
The process is straightforward yet powerful. You’ll receive real-time feedback on your brain’s activity, allowing you to witness your progress and improvements. We also track and monitor your wellbeing through several objective measures including questionnaires and cognitive tasks. Through easy-to-understand graphs and data, you can track the changes taking place in your mind and body as you go through your neurofeedback journey.
4. Attend your Weekly Meetings
