Neurofeedback

---

 Active neurofeedback is training, not stimulation. Small sensors on the scalp record your brain’s electrical activity (EEG). You receive real-time feedback—usually a simple video, sound, or game that changes instantly with your brain activity.

How it works

• The system sets training goals/thresholds (e.g., increase or decrease certain brainwave patterns or improve timing/coherence).
   
• When your brain activity moves in the desired direction, the feedback rewards that change (the screen brightens, the music plays, the game advances).
   
• Over sessions, your brain learns to spend more time in these healthier patterns (operant learning/self-regulation).
   

What you do in session

• Sit comfortably and watch/listen to the feedback.
   
• Stay engaged and relaxed; your participation matters—this is skills practice for your nervous system.
   

Typical goals
Focus/attention, stress tolerance, sleep quality, emotional regulation, and performance under pressure.

Course of care
Plans are individualized; many clients train 1–2×/week over several weeks to build and stabilize the skill.

Passive neurofeedback is a brainwave-based biofeedback approach that monitors EEG activity and delivers tiny, imperceptible microcurrent “whispers.” These brief cues help the brain unstick inefficient patterns and self-organize into a more flexible, higher-functioning state—no effort or “brain games” required.

What it can help with
Has shown clinical efficacy in addressing symptoms of TBI, PTSD, Post-Concussive Syndrome, anxiety, depression, and attention difficulties (AD/HD).

What you may notice
Clients often report feeling calmer, clearer, and more even-mooded—sometimes with reduced head pain and less emotional reactivity. Many notice shifts in the first 1–4 sessions (occasionally right in the chair). Early changes can be short-lived (hours to days) and grow more lasting with training.

How it works
Sensors read your EEG while the system sends ultra-low microcurrents that prompt the brain to de-habituate “stuck” patterns and adopt more efficient ones. Our protocol uses 10 site pairs for comprehensive coverage. HPN software generates multiple minute signals along overlapping pathways through cortical and deeper structures to encourage balanced activity.

Course & timeline
A typical plan is 20–30 sessions (sometimes more) to consolidate lasting gains. Younger clients may respond faster. Family and friends often notice improvements early—sometimes on the ride home.
