1. A method of providing brain activity feedback to a user accessing a media guidance application, the method comprising:

  • monitoring the brain activity of the user for a first brain state, wherein the first brain state corresponds to a frequency range of brain activity for performing a first operation of the media guidance application;

    detecting a first level of the brain activity;

    determining that the first level of the brain activity is a portion of the way towards a threshold level of brain activity but does not exceed the threshold level of brain activity;

    generating for display an icon on a display screen, wherein the icon provides feedback to the user indicating that the first level of the brain activity is a portion of the way towards the threshold level of brain activity but does not exceed the threshold level of brain activity;

    detecting a second level of the brain activity;

    determining that the second level of the brain activity exceeds the threshold level of brain activity; and

    adjusting the icon on the display screen, wherein the adjusted icon provides feedback to the user indicating that the second level of the brain activity exceeds the threshold level of brain activity.
