Ways to train

One system. Three ways to train.

Train your own brain at home. Run sessions with your clients. Measure two, three or four people at the same time. Most biofeedback companies would sell you a different system for each. Vilistus does all three with the same hardware and the same free software.

Start where you are

Grow without starting again

People come to Vilistus for different reasons. An athlete wants a sharper edge. A therapist wants a dependable clinical tool. A researcher wants to see what happens between two brains during a conversation.

We don't make you choose a lane. Every Vilistus system is multi-channel, upgradable and runs on Vilistus/Pro, which is free, with free updates and no licence fees. Buy a system to train yourself and later start seeing clients, and you keep using it. Move into group work or research, and you add sensors, not a whole new system.

01 · Self-training

Your brain, your goals, your living room.

For: individuals, athletes, executives, meditators — anyone who wants better focus, lower stress, better sleep or sharper performance on their own schedule.

Self-training puts professional-grade neurofeedback in your hands. Clip on the sensors, choose your session and let your own brainwaves or heart rhythm drive the feedback. When you're in the zone, you know instantly. When you drift, the feedback tells you, without judgement.

How it works

Set your target

Calm, focus, recovery, a meditative state. You decide what "better" means.

Feedback the way you like it

Tones, on-screen graphs, or fadeBack, our translucent overlay that sits over any film, game, music or document and fades as you move in and out of the zone. Train while you watch something you actually enjoy.

See your progress

Every session is recorded, so you can track change over weeks. Progress shows in the data, not just in how you feel.

Why Vilistus for self-training

Professional hardware, home-user priceVilistus is Latin for "affordable machine", and we mean it.
EEG and HRV on one platformStart with a simple clip-on HRV sensor for stress and recovery, then add EEG when you're ready.
You won't be on your ownOptional one-to-one support gets you set up properly, in the Lake District or by video call.
Built to growIf you later train family, friends or clients, your system is already ready.
02 · Practitioner training

A clinical-grade tool without the clinical-grade price.

For: neurofeedback practitioners, therapists, psychologists, coaches, sports and performance trainers, private clinics and home-office practices.

Your clients judge you on results, and you rely on your equipment to deliver them. Vilistus gives you eight channels of EEG, real-time feedback and full raw-data recording, holding its own against systems costing many times more, with no annual licence fees eating into your margin.

What you can do

Run sessions your way

Design protocols, adjust thresholds live as the signal moves, and choose the feedback that suits each client: audio, video, graphs, or fadeBack over the client's own media.

Record everything

Raw data is saved for every session, so you can review, analyse and show clients clear evidence of their progress.

Combine modalities

EEG, HRV and skin response (GSR) on one platform. Add sensors as your practice develops.

Work with up to four people at once

One Neurofeedback Training Pack supports four people simultaneously with no loss of signal: group sessions, family work or parallel clients without extra hardware.

Specialist protocols

Mind Mirror 6, developed with the Institute of the Awakened Mind, adds a dedicated system for meditation and awakened-mind brainwave training.

03 · Hyperscanning

When two brains are better measured together.

For: researchers, universities, couples and relationship therapists, team and performance coaches, meditation groups — anyone exploring how people connect.

Hyperscanning means recording the brain activity of two or more people at the same time, so you can see how they respond to each other. It's a fast-growing field, studying empathy, communication, teaching, music, teamwork and shared meditation, and until recently it meant expensive, lab-bound equipment. Vilistus makes it practical: one Neurofeedback Training Pack records up to four people simultaneously across eight channels, in a single session. No second system to synchronise, no second licence to buy.

What you can do

Record multi-person EEG together

Capture two, three or four participants in one session, on one system, ready for inter-brain analysis.

Add physiology

Pair EEG with HRV or GSR to look at heart-rhythm coherence and arousal across the group, not just brainwaves.

Keep the raw data

Full recordings from every participant, ready to take into your own analysis.

Give shared feedback

Let a couple, a team or a meditation group see their activity side by side in real time, turning measurement into training.

Customise the setup

Need a custom sensor, a different montage or integration with third-party hardware? We design and build in-house, so we can often make it.

Questions

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Can I start with self-training and move into practice later?

Yes, and plenty of our customers do. The same system and software cover all three ways of working. You simply add channels or sensors as you need them.

Do I need separate equipment for each person in a group or hyperscanning session?

No. One Neurofeedback Training Pack supports up to four people at the same time with no loss of signal.

Is the software really free?

Yes. Vilistus/Pro is included with your system, updates are free and there are no licence fees.

I'm new to neurofeedback. Will I get help?

Yes. Every customer gets direct access to our engineers, and you can book one-to-one support in the Lake District or by video call, built around your goals.

Can you build something custom for my research?

Often, yes. We design and manufacture in-house, so custom sensors and third-party integrations are possible. Tell us what you're trying to measure.
