What Is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training method that strengthens the brain’s natural ability to self-regulate. By providing real-time feedback on brainwave activity (EEG), the brain learns to recognise and adjust its own patterns. This learning process—known as Endogenous Neuromodulation—gradually supports better mental, emotional, and physical functioning.

Many challenges, from anxiety and attention issues to sleep disturbances and mood disorders, stem from brain disregulation—disruptions in the brain’s internal rhythm and coordination. Neurofeedback addresses these patterns by targeting specific brain areas and frequencies, tailored to each individual’s needs. Because self-regulation is constantly changing, the process is guided by a trained clinician.

Throughout life, we all encounter stress, trauma, and experiences that shape how our brain functions. Traditionally, practices like meditation, music, and physical training have supported brain regulation. Neurofeedback builds on this by offering a science-based, technology-assisted approach rooted in decades of research into brain dynamics and connectivity.

All lasting benefits from neurofeedback come from learning that occurs within the brain itself. We simply facilitate that process.
Backed by clinical experience and a growing body of scientific literature, neurofeedback is a powerful, established tool for promoting lasting change and improved well-being.

Sensors and Feedback

Electrodes
During a Neurofeedback session, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record the brain’s electrical activity (EEG).

The collected information is processed and displayed on a screen, providing visual and auditory feedback.

Parameters of the EEG signal are reflected through games or videos, engaging the brain in self-correction processes.

Types of Neurofeedback Techniques

Brainwaves
ILF (Infra-Low Frequency) Training: Focuses on very slow brainwave frequencies.

Frequency Band Training: Targets specific brainwave frequencies (e.g., alpha, beta, theta) associated with different cognitive and emotional processes.

Clinical Applications

Clinical Applications
  • ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • PTSD
  • Cognitive Deficits

Core Self-Regulation

Core Self-Regulation
All Neurofeedback techniques aim to improve core self-regulation, allowing the brain to correct dysfunction.

When the brain receives feedback about its own activity, it engages in self-correcting processes.

Over time, this leads to better functioning and symptom reduction.
