What Is Neurofeedback?
How Does Neurofeedback Work?
Neurofeedback is a form of EEG-based training that measures brain activity and provides feedback during guided sessions.
Monitoring Brainwave Activity
Sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor the brain’s electrical activity. This allows us to observe brainwave patterns in real time during each neurofeedback session.
Personalized, Real-Time Brain Training
As brain activity is monitored, you receive real-time visual or auditory feedback designed to support the training process.
Each session is individualized, creating an experience tailored to your unique brain activity and responses.
