Who Neurofeedback Helps

What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training technique that helps regulate brain function. It uses real-time monitoring of brainwave activity to provide feedback, guiding the brain toward healthier patterns. By reinforcing optimal brain function, neurofeedback supports improvements in focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance. Over time, these positive changes become long-lasting, helping individuals manage symptoms and enhance overall well-being after neurofeedback training is complete.
✔ Comprehensive Brain Mapping – 19-channel QEEG provides a full-brain assessment to target specific dysregulations, unlike wearables that only monitor limited brain regions.
✔ Clinician-Guided Customization – Your neurofeedback protocol is tailored to your unique neurological profile, rather than relying on generic, pre-set programs.
✔ Professional Oversight – A board certified expert monitors progress and adjusts protocols, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
✔ Medical-Grade Equipment – High-resolution EEG technology delivers more accurate results compared to consumer-grade wearables.
✔ Long-Term Impact – QEEG-guided neurofeedback promotes lasting neuroplastic changes, whereas wearables may only provide temporary effects.
