Frequently Asked Questions
New to neurofeedback? Start here. These answers cover some of the most common questions about neurofeedback, assessments, training sessions, and what you can expect at Neuro Compass Wellness.
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that uses EEG sensors to measure patterns of electrical brain activity. During training, software provides real-time visual or auditory feedback, allowing the brain to receive information about its own activity and practice different patterns over time.
Does neurofeedback put electricity into my brain?
No. The sensors used during standard EEG neurofeedback record electrical activity from the scalp. They do not send electrical current into the brain.
What happens during a neurofeedback session?
Sensors are placed at specific locations on the scalp to monitor EEG activity. You may then watch a video, animation, game, or other form of feedback that responds to your brain activity in real time. Training typically involves repeated periods of feedback while you remain comfortably seated.
What can neurofeedback be used for?
People explore neurofeedback for a variety of goals, including attention and concentration, stress regulation, sleep, cognitive performance, memory, emotional self-regulation, and peak performance. Neurofeedback is not a substitute for medical or mental-health diagnosis or treatment, and individual results vary.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no single number that applies to everyone. Training needs can vary based on your goals, individual response, training approach, and the patterns being addressed. Progress is reviewed throughout the process so recommendations can be adjusted when appropriate.
Do I have to complete an assessment before training?
Not necessarily. Neuro Compass Wellness can discuss both individualized assessment-guided training and more generalized goal-focused training. Your options can be reviewed during your initial appointment.
