What to expect

A Few Questions We Often Hear

Starting something new can raise a lot of questions. Here are a few of the most common things people ask about neurofeedback and our process.

What is the difference between clinical and nonclinical neurofeedback?

Non-clinical neurofeedback is a broader approach, training areas of the brain responsible for maintaining optimal functioning. For example, someone might train to better manage the stressors of day-to-day life but has not been diagnosed with or is not being treated for an anxiety disorder. This approach does not require significant assessment to accurately determine causation of symptoms, nor is the reason for intervention due to a clinical issue.

Clinical neurofeedback is a necessary approach for those who are experiencing more significant symptoms and/or who have a clinical diagnosis. Individuals who require clinical neurofeedback have been diagnosed with a disorder, typically by a clinical neuropsychologist. This ensures appropriate diagnosis, a targeted treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis(es), and ongoing clinical oversight and care.

We work with individuals of all ages. In our program we generally do not see kids under the age of 5 because it tends to be hard for younger kiddos to sit still for neurofeedback. Outside of that, we see individuals of all ages…even well into their 80s!

Yes, neurofeedback is safe for most individuals. Prior to initiating neurofeedback, a thorough intake is completed to rule out any reasons someone shouldn’t do neurofeedback. For example, certain untreated medical conditions and/or unwillingness of the individual to attend/complete neurofeedback may make neurofeedback an unsuitable option.

In our clinic, sessions last approximately 45 minutes. At the beginning of the session, small sensors (called electrodes) are placed on the scalp. They do not put any electrical activity into the brain — instead, the electrodes read your brain’s electrical activity. Your brainwaves are displayed in real time on a computer in the form of a game. By watching the game, your brain knows if it is making enough of the appropriate brainwaves or too much/too little of certain brainwaves that result in symptoms. The auditory and visual feedback allows your brain to learn to create more functional brainwave patterns resulting in improvement in overall functioning.
