What happens in a session and why feedback matters.
During a session, sensors are placed on the scalp to read brainwave activity. The system provides real-time feedback through video, audio, or visual changes. The client usually relaxes, watches a screen, or listens while the brain receives cues about its own activity.
The training is based on repetition. Over time, the goal is to help the nervous system practice more stable and flexible patterns.
No electrical stimulation is sent into the brain.
Feedback changes as brainwave patterns change.
The process is gradual and training-based.
Many protocols use video feedback. The screen may brighten, dim, pause, or shift based on the brain's activity.
Some sessions use sounds or tones as feedback, especially when eyes-closed training is selected.
Like physical training, neurofeedback typically requires a series of sessions, not just one visit.
Most people experience a session as quiet and low-effort. They are not asked to consciously control their brainwaves.
