Target Areas
Learning Enhancement
For young kids and students
Any brain, regardless of the initial condition it is in, can be trained towards better function. Therefore, people of all ages can benefit from Neurofeedback training.
To become an excellent learner one has to be able to focus well and at the same time to stay calm and relaxed so new knowledge/information could be processed well. Neurofeedback training targets both concentration and relaxation to help students to acquire knowledge in the most effecient way.

ADD / ADHD
Regulating the brain for better focus
Neurofeedback is a well researched tool (see our Research section) that helps to improve concentration for kids and adults with ADD/ADHD. During the past three decades, after a series of case and controlled group studies, Neurofeedback has emerged as a non-pharmacologic treatment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficite Disorder (ADD). This intervention was derived from operant conditioning studies and have reported improved attention and behavioral control, increased cortical activation on quantitative electroencephalographic examination, and gains on tests of intelligence and academic achievement in response to this type of treatment.
Please note, that in case you or your child take medication for ADD/ADHD it is very important that you talk to your doctor/psychiatrist about the Neurofeedback treatment as it can become necessary to reduce medication dosage.

What is Neurofeedback?
The method is known since over 50 years, it is based on the measurement of the electrical activities of the brain by means of EEG measurements and their feedback to the brain using computer-controlled animations. This does not hurt at all and no current or voltage is applied to the brain. The method is completely non-invasive and is considered as evidence-based intervention in various countries (for example, see the list of Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Interventions by American Academy of Pediatrics).
The typical training looks a lot like a video game. Children receiving the training play a computerized game that proceeds only when they are calm and focused. If the EEG detects patterns of brain waves associated with distraction, the game stops. The method rewards the healthier brainwave patterns and over time, regular neurofeedback practice results in structural changes involving both white and gray matter.
The main applications today are the support of therapy of attention deficit disorders (ADD / ADHD), learning disabilities and behavioral problems of children and adolescents, and also anxiety & depression. Neurofeedback can relieve symptoms of physical and emotional problems, such as migraine or posttraumatic stress disorder. Neurofeedback can also help the ageing population to maintain good brain function. In addition to the medical applications, Neurofeedback is also used for deep relaxation and meditation. Nevertheless, Neurofeedback under no circumstances should be seen as a universal remedy and can not always replace medication.
