Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a brain training method based on biofeedback. A computer program reads brain wave activity and gives visual or audio signals in real time that show how the brain is working.

Through this process, the brain learns to recognize ineffective patterns and gradually shift to more stable and healthy modes of activity. Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback, but it focuses specifically on brain activity rather than heart rate or other physiological indicators.

This method is used as a primary or supportive approach for ADHD, sleep disorders, anxiety, depressive conditions, PTSD, consequences of brain injuries, age related cognitive changes, and behavioral disorders.

How a neurofeedback session works

A neurofeedback session lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. You sit comfortably in a chair. The specialist places electrodes with conductive gel on the scalp. These electrodes only read brain activity and do not stimulate the brain.

The data is sent to a computer and shown as graphics, animations, or sounds. When brain waves move into a more balanced state, the program immediately gives a positive signal. Through repetition, the brain gradually learns more effective patterns of work.

During the session, you stay fully conscious, without medication or sedation. After the session, you can return to your normal daily routine right away.

What to expect from neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is not a one time procedure but a training process. The number of sessions is selected individually, depending on your goals and the condition of your nervous system.

Between sessions, clients often notice reduced tension, a more stable mood, better concentration, improved sleep, and clearer thinking. The effect builds gradually as the brain learns self regulation and transfers these changes into everyday life.

Neurofeedback does not change you artificially. It helps your nervous system remember how to function more calmly, focused, and efficiently, in its natural rhythm.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a modern self regulation training method that helps you learn how to manage your body’s states by becoming aware of its reactions. It shows how you breathe, how your heart responds, where tension builds up, and how your body reacts to stress.

In everyday life, many people live in a state of constant tension. Breathing becomes shallow, muscles stay tight, and heart rate increases. This can lead to chronic fatigue, anxiety, sleep problems, headaches, and a feeling that the body does not fully recover. Biofeedback helps you see these processes in real time and gradually learn how to influence them.

How a biofeedback session works

During a session, special sensors are placed on the body. They measure physiological signals such as breathing, pulse, muscle tension, or other responses. All information is shown on a screen as clear graphs or signals. You can immediately see how your body state changes depending on breathing, thoughts, or emotions. Together with a specialist, you learn to:

• slow down and deepen breathing
• reduce muscle tension
• stabilize heart rate
• enter a calm state more quickly

The key value of biofeedback is instant feedback. The body clearly shows what helps it and what does not. Because of this, self regulation skills develop faster and become more stable in practice.

What biofeedback provides

A person starts to recognize body signals earlier and respond before tension builds up. Biofeedback is effective for:

• chronic stress and anxiety
• psychosomatic symptoms
• sleep disorders
• headaches and muscle tension
• emotional burnout
• concentration difficulties

A session lasts 30–40 minutes. After it, many people feel relaxation, reduced inner tension, warmth in the body, or calm mental clarity.

A course includes several sessions. Over time, the body enters balanced states more easily, and self regulation skills begin to work automatically in real life situations.

Biofeedback is about restoring connection with the body. It is the moment when you feel again that you can influence your state through understanding and practice.
