A calm and robust nervous system with Cenli
Using sensors and an app, you can measure your body's own, often unconscious signals – such as muscle tension, heart rate variability, and finger temperature.
Based on your unique measurements, Cenli provides you with simple visual instructions in real time on how to breathe and relax in order to calm your nervous system. -

A robust nervous system gives you peace of mind in everyday life
Just as we can train a muscle, we can use biofeedback to train our nervous system. A robust nervous system makes it easier to find calm even in stressful situations, because it is resilient to stress. You will find that muscle tension eases more quickly, your body is more relaxed, and it may be easier to fall asleep. Inner calm and balance alleviate stress-related ailments.

The research behind biofeedback and migraines
Biofeedback has been used for many years as a therapy for migraines by doctors and biofeedback therapists. Biofeedback as a method is already included in guidelines for migraines, among other things (Norwegian Medicines Handbook). What is new now is that you can conduct a biofeedback session in your own home with Cenli.
A Norwegian study by NorHead and Nordic Brain Tech, presented at the European Headache Congress in 2024, shows that biofeedback with sensors and guidance from a mobile app is safe and effective to use. Almost half of the 279 participants experienced a 30% reduction in the number of days with migraine. (Abstract from the European Headache Congress 2024, LP050) -
How to calm your nervous system with Cenli
What makes Cenli unique is that you can see your own measurements in real time and are guided through a session that adapts to your body as you go. A session with Cenli only takes 10 minutes, but many people choose to spend a little longer because it is a calm and pleasant break.
-
Step 1: Attach the sensor to your fingertip
One sensor is attached to the fingertip and measures heart rate variation and temperature. The measurements are displayed in real time on the mobile screen.
-
-
-
Step 2: Attach the other to the neck
The second sensor is attached to the neck, specifically the trapezius muscle. The sensor measures voltages that are displayed on the mobile screen.
-
Step 3: Follow the measurements and instructions in the Cenli app
In the app, you can monitor your heart rate variability, temperature, and muscle tension in real time.
Based on your measurements, Cenli gives you simple instructions in real time on how to breathe and relax in order to influence the measurements and calm your nervous system. This helps you become more aware, trains your attention, and activates the part of the nervous system that helps us relax. -

A language that the nervous system understands
Many of us have tried to talk ourselves into reason when we lie awake at night trying to get to sleep. "It's okay that I'm not fully prepared for tomorrow's meeting, just relax," we might say to ourselves.
But our nervous system does not speak a language consisting of words. It only understands physical signals. Breathing, temperature, and muscle tension are the vocabulary of our nervous system. As soon as we realize that this is the language we need to speak, we can begin to calm our nervous system. What we need is the right tool.
FAQ
How does a biofeedback session work?
Using sensors and our mobile app, you can measure your body's own, often unconscious signals—such as muscle tension, heart rate, and finger temperature.
Based on your unique measurements, we give you simple instructions in real time on how to breathe in order to influence the measurements and calm your nervous system. This is a biofeedback session.
What makes Cenli and biofeedback unique is that you see your own measurements in real time and receive a personalized session based on what your body needs right there and then.
Although a heart rate monitor can show your heart rate, for example, it does not provide guidance on how to actively lower it—biofeedback does.
Does it only help with stress?
Stress is a condition that very often leads to "additional ailments." Many people who suffer from stress experience headaches, migraines, anxiety, exhaustion, and sleep difficulties, as well as a number of other challenges. Cenli is designed to reduce stress and calm the autonomic nervous system.
With 10 minutes a day, you will gradually build a calm and stable nervous system. Biofeedback has several positive benefits:
✓ Inner peace and balance alleviate stress-related ailments such as sleep deprivation, migraines, anxiety, and exhaustion.
✓ The nervous system becomes more robust and stable and handles stress better
✓ It becomes easier to find peace even in stressful situations
✓ It becomes easier to transition from a fast pace to calm when you need to rest.
✓ It will be easier to fall asleep at night
✓ Study shows fewer headaches and migraines (Abstract from European Headache Congress 2024, LP050)
✓ Muscles release tension and the body relaxes more easily
✓ More energy and vitality in everyday life
Can Cenli help with migraines?
Biofeedback has been used for many years as a preventive treatment for migraine and is already included in guidelines (e.g., the Norwegian Medicines Handbook). The challenge has been that it was previously only available from practitioners such as physical therapists and doctors, and therefore not widely accessible to many people.
Cenli makes it possible to perform biofeedback at home. Cenli's sensors measure muscle tension, temperature, and heart rate variability—signals that show how your body is responding in the moment. Based on the measurements, you follow a breathing ball that helps your body reduce stress reactions. Cenli can help reduce stress-related ailments by lowering your stress level.
A Norwegian study by NorHead and Nordic Brain Tech shows that biofeedback using the same type of sensors connected to a mobile app is both safe and effective against migraines. The study was first presented at the European Headache Congress 2024.
For almost half of the 279 patients from across Norway who participated in the study, the treatment resulted in at least a 30 percent reduction in migraine days. In addition, the intensity of migraine attacks and the use of acute medication were reduced, and quality of life increased significantly for those who used biofeedback for more than 3 months. All participants had episodic migraine with between 4 and 14 migraine attacks per month.

What does the science say?
Biofeedback is a thoroughly tested method for reducing stress and stress-related ailments. Doctors and therapists have been practicing this for decades. What's new is that with Cenli, you can do this at home, on your own. Read more about the research here.
How is Cenli different from a heart rate monitor?
A heart rate monitor is a useful tool for many. We are not discouraging its use in any way, but Cenli is something completely different.
While a heart rate monitor is a useful training tool, Cenli is a tool that allows you to measure and (most importantly) reduce your stress levels over time. Cenli measures heart rate variability, temperature, and muscle tension. The key is what you should do with this information. Cenli allows you to respond in real-time, in a way that calms the autonomic nervous system.
Can multiple people use one Cenli?
Yes, when you buy Cenli, you get sensors that the whole family can use.
Everyone can create their own user in the app, so that measurements and scores are kept separate.
If you have a partner or spouse who is interested in stress management, you don't need to buy a kit for each of you.
What distinguishes Cenli from other relaxation techniques?
There are many meditation apps, relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises available. What makes Cenli special is that it measures your body's stress signals and provides you with real-time exercises that actively relieve and calm your body right then and there.
Does Cenli send any signals to the body?
No, Cenli's sensors do not send any signals to your body. They are developed and designed to read your stress level in real-time, with high precision and with constructive data on how you should respond to calm the nervous system. The effect on the body comes from the exercises you do in the mobile app, which are based on these real-time data.
How many patches are included?
Cenli comes with a 12-month supply of EMG patches (50 pieces). Before the 12 months are up, we will contact you by email to ask if you would like to order more. The first shipment includes half of the patches (25 pieces), and the remainder will be sent out after six months. If you need all of them right away, please contact us and we will arrange it.
