Frequently asked questions

Yes. The app is free to download and use, with no ads, and all 36 default sessions are included. Optional Mental 6-packs and a Premium subscription are sold on this website; you never need them to use the app.

36 sessions across four goals: better sleep (delta), stress relief (theta), mood boost (alpha) and mental clarity (40 Hz gamma). Each comes in an 11-minute and a 6-minute version. A short questionnaire builds a 15-day programme from them.

Headphones give the best result, because sessions combine isochronic tones with binaural beats, and binaural beats need one sound per ear. The isochronic tones also work through a speaker.

In headset mode your phone's screen becomes the light source. Place the phone in a simple headset holder, the kind made for phone VR, and the light fills your whole field of view. Holders cost around $10–$30.

Yes. Once a session is downloaded, it plays without a connection.

AVE is non-invasive, and most people simply feel relaxed or a little sleepy afterwards. The light sessions are not suitable for people with epilepsy or a history of seizures. 6th Mind complements professional care; it doesn't replace it. More on safety.

The method for improving mental health works by stimulating brain activity of participants in the sessions using various non-invasive procedures. The procedure we use in our practice is stimulation through periodic light synchronized with audio signals generated by a specialized lamp integrated with a sound playback device. This procedure is part of a protocol with a specific number of sessions that must be performed within a certain number of days to achieve the maximum positive effect.

The human brain has the property to synchronize with external frequency signals. At 6th, we use periodic light and sound signals to stimulate the brain activity of session participants. The frequency of the signals is carefully selected depending on the participants’ needs, their answers in a personality questionnaire completed at the beginning of the procedures, and after a mental health specialist review, if such was needed.

Yes. The method is non-invasive and safe for most people; some feel a little drowsy after a session. It is not suitable for people with epilepsy. On this page you can find more details and links to scientific studies and publications regarding the testing of the method and the results of those checks.

It varies from person to person. Some people feel a difference even after the first session, others start to notice an improvement after 5-6 sessions. For lasting results, we recommend completing the full protocol.

Even after 5 sessions, we notice improvement in participants’ conditions, but most often it happens after 10 or 15 procedures. However, in some cases, sessions need to be repeated to have a positive effect. It’s always important to complete the full recommended course.

The minimum number of sessions per week that we recommend and have proven effective in practice is 2. The maximum recommended number of sessions per week is 4 or 5. Exceptions are possible in both cases.

The service is suitable for anyone who needs to improve their mental health and quality of life. The specific protocol (which programs, and within how many sessions) is determined by the needs of the participants, the answers obtained after completing a personality questionnaire at the beginning of the procedures, and after a review by a mental health specialist, if one was needed. The service is not suitable for people with any form of epilepsy.

The service is not suitable for people with any form of epilepsy. We do not work with children and adolescents. All others can benefit from it.

Yes, many participants combine the sessions with medication or psychotherapy and often get good results. It is recommended to consult your treating specialist.

Each session begins with a brief EEG (electroencephalogram) measurement. Then follows the execution of the specific program from the lamp, generating periodic light and audio signals, with the participant’s eyes closed to achieve the desired effect (as well as during the measurements, to exclude external influences). You can always interrupt the session or signal any discomfort to our team. After the program ends, we measure EEG again.

The measurements are almost without sensation. During the session itself, the periodic light and sound signals generated by the specialized lamp can cause various sensations: feelings of calm, focus, energy, or drowsiness. If you feel uneasy during the session, you can always signal, and our team will respond and stop the session.

No, there are no unpleasant sensations and side effects, either from the measurements or from the main light and sound stimulation programs. Of course, people are different, as are their sensations. Although we have not witnessed unpleasant sensations so far, we always pay attention and listen to participants for their feedback.

You can miss up to 1 or 2 sessions per week depending on the total number for the week set in your program. For example, with 3 sessions per week, it is important not to miss more than 1 per week, with 4, up to 2. Missed sessions will be added at the end of your program. In this case, there is no need to start over.

Yes, regularity is important. If you miss one or two sessions within the week, this may slow the effect, but usually does not cancel it. Larger omissions, however, may reduce the results. In such cases, you will need to start the program over.

If the missed sessions are within the recommended range, there is no need to make up, because the sessions are added at the end of the program. Still, if you wish and if possible, you may visit the office and do a session on a day other than those scheduled, even if this increases the number of sessions for the week.

Book an appointment is done through a mental health specialist if you work with one. If not, you can book an appointment via our office calendar at Superdoc.

Our office is located next to practice office “Zdrave 33”.

Currently, we do not have other locations.

A single session costs €18. A package of 10 prepaid sessions costs €162: €16.20 per session, or 10 sessions for the price of 9.

Yes. A package of 10 prepaid sessions costs €162 instead of €180, so you get 10 sessions for the price of 9.

We do not work with the National Health Insurance Fund or health insurers.

If after the recommended number of sessions you do not feel improvement, we will analyze the results of your measurements and discuss the possibilities for continuation. In some cases, time, program adaptation, more sessions or additional treatment may be needed. The service is not a magical solution, but a powerful tool, especially when combined with general health care and support from a specialist.

Statistics show that the likelihood of feeling better after attending all sessions and following the protocol is very high. This is evident from scientific studies and publications testing the method, and their results, for which we have provided links on this page on our site.

The best way to increase the effect of the sessions is to: get enough sleep (7–8 hours), eat a balanced diet, maintain physical activity, limit excessive stress, keep regular attendance. We are also working on the possibility of performing part of the program at home. We will inform you when this becomes possible.

Yes, you can stop at any time. However, it is very likely that you will lose the positive effect you have achieved so far with the help of our sessions.

It is recommended that the minimum number of sessions you do is equal to the number set for you at the beginning of the program. This is the number of sessions we have found most often leads to positive and desired results for participants.

No. Stopping early has no withdrawal effects; you may simply not get the full benefit of the programme.
