What is Neurofeedback
“Neurofeedback is a comprehensive training system that promotes growth and change at the cellular level of brain.”
John N. Demos
Key notes
- Neurofeedback helps train the brain by providing real-time feedback on its activity.
- Individuals can learn to regulate their brainwaves, leading to improvements in focus, relaxation, and overall mental well-being.
- It’s like teaching the brain new habits to promote better functioning.
What happens during a Session?
- Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that aims to regulate brain activity through real-time monitoring of brainwave patterns. It involves placing sensors on the scalp to detect electrical activity in the brain, which is then processed by a computer system.
- During a neurofeedback session, the individual typically engages in tasks or activities designed to elicit specific brainwave patterns associated with desired states, such as relaxation or focus. Feedback is provided in real-time, often in the form of visual or auditory cues, allowing the individual to learn to self-regulate their brain activity.
- The underlying principle of neurofeedback is based on the idea that abnormal brainwave patterns are associated with various neurological and psychological conditions, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. By training the brain to produce more optimal patterns, neurofeedback aims to alleviate symptoms and improve overall functioning.
- Research has shown promising results for neurofeedback in treating a range of conditions, with studies indicating improvements in attention, behavior, mood, and cognitive function. Overall, neurofeedback offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to addressing neurological and psychological issues, providing individuals with a means to enhance their brain function and improve their quality of life. But when used in conjunction with other interventions as a part of comprehensive treatment plan it can create wonders.
Is Neurofeedback only for Mental Health Issues?
While neurofeedback is commonly associated with mental health issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, it can also be used to address a variety of other conditions and concerns. Neurofeedback has been explored as a treatment option for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, migraine headaches, and insomnia. Additionally, it has been used to enhance cognitive performance in athletes, executives, and individuals seeking peak mental performance.
The versatility of neurofeedback lies in its ability to target and modulate specific brainwave patterns associated with various functions and states, including attention, relaxation, focus, and arousal. As a result, it can be tailored to address a wide range of neurological and psychological challenges, making it a valuable tool in promoting overall brain health and functioning.
So who can try it?
Neurofeedback extends beyond addressing solely mental health issues. It can contribute to beneficial recovery in various conditions, including:
- Migraines
- Depression
- Insomnia
- PTSD
- Academics
- Postpartum Depression
- Stress
- Anxiety
- ADD/ADHD
- Dysphagia
- Fibromyalgia
- TBI
- OCD
- Memory
- Bruxism
- Chronic fatigue
- Stroke
- Focus & Brain fog
- Addiction
- Athletic Performance
- Autism
- Pain
- Tinnitus
- Tourette’s
- Many more…
How does Neurofeedback work?
Our High-Performance Neurofeedback, also known as HPN, employs a mild form of brain stimulation alongside electroencephalography (EEG), a clinical methodology utilized for gauging the electrical activity of neurons in the brain.
By providing individuals with real-time information about their brain activity and guiding them towards desired patterns, neurofeedback can help improve cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall brain health.
Brainwave Monitoring:
Neurofeedback sessions involve monitoring brainwave patterns using electroencephalography (EEG) or other similar techniques. EEG sensors placed on the scalp detect electrical signals generated by the brain.
Brainwave Regulation:
Through the feedback provided, individuals learn to recognize and regulate their brainwave patterns. For example, if the goal is to increase relaxation, the individual may be trained to produce more alpha waves associated with a relaxed state.
Neuroplasticity:
Over time, consistent neurofeedback training can lead to neuroplastic changes in the brain, as neural connections strengthen or reorganize in response to the feedback and reinforcement. This can result in lasting improvements in brain function and behavior.
Feedback Presentation:
The individual undergoing neurofeedback is presented with real-time feedback about their brain activity. This feedback can be in the form of visual displays, such as graphs or animations, or auditory cues, like tones or music.
Operant Conditioning:
Neurofeedback utilizes principles of operant conditioning, where desired behaviors (in this case, specific brainwave patterns) are reinforced through positive feedback. As individuals successfully regulate their brainwave activity towards the desired state, they receive rewards or positive reinforcement, encouraging the brain to maintain these patterns.
Customized Training:
Neurofeedback protocols are often tailored to the individual’s specific goals and needs. Sessions can target various cognitive functions, emotional regulation, or specific neurological conditions, such as ADHD or anxiety.

How is our tech different?
As you already know there are many varieties of Neurofeedback devices in the market. At this point you may be wondering how is our tech any different or special. Yes we understand.
Reliable Technology
Our tech using Amplitude training which is the original and most popular approach in the field of neurofeedback. We use High Performance Neurofeedback (HPN) which uses gentle form of brain stimulation using a fraction of a volt. we use 10-20 sites & sequence. We Specifically target the symptomatic areas and provide feedback accordingly.
Reliable Outcomes
Scientifically, neurofeedback demonstrates a success rate ranging from 75% to 80% for specific conditions. While certain conditions may necessitate extended sessions, integrating neurofeedback into comprehensive treatment protocols undoubtedly enhances the potential for clients to achieve optimal outcomes.
What is Brain Waves?
Brain waves are rhythmic electrical patterns generated by the brain’s neural activity. These waves are produced by synchronized electrical impulses from large groups of neurons communicating with each other.
Can you explain more about Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that encourages the brain to develop healthier patterns of activity.
