How Neurofeedback Works
Neurofeedback is real-time brain training for children, teens, and adults. You relax in a chair with a few sensors on your scalp while a video, music, or simple game responds to your brainwaves. It all starts with a painless qEEG brain map.
Your brain runs on electricity
Billions of neurons communicate through tiny electrical signals. Those signals form rhythms (brainwaves) that we can measure with sensors on the scalp.

Stress, injury, or simply wiring can leave certain rhythms running higher or lower than typical. Patterns like these often show up alongside struggles with focus, anxiety, and sleep.
Learn moreThe brain can learn
Your brain gets immediate feedback that rewards each move toward steadier patterns. Over many repetitions, it can get better at finding them. This learning process is called operant conditioning.

Research on neurofeedback for post-traumatic stress has shown meaningful reductions in symptom scores, with effects that held at follow-up. The evidence differs by condition, and our evidence guide walks through it.

Guided neurofeedback sessions for adults and children: you relax in a chair while a video, music, or a simple game responds to your brainwaves and rewards steadier patterns.
Explore this stepEasier than you’d think.
You relax in a comfortable chair while a few sensors rest on your scalp. Nothing is sent into your brain; the sensors only listen. You watch a movie, listen to music, or play a simple game. When your brain moves toward steadier patterns, the feedback rewards it. That’s it. Most people find sessions calm and even enjoyable. Still have questions?
