Set yourself up for succes during the proces

The process of scanning your brain (EEG) and the fist intakes  typically takes about 2 hours

A typical neurofeedback session usually lasts one hour. This includes the setup, the breaks and the clues for a successful neurofeedback training you need to train consistent. two sessions a week. after 12 sessions we can go for 1 session a week. 

If you wear contact lenses, please bring you glasses for the Neurofeedback session.

Explanation: Contact lenses can sometimes cause discomfort during longer neurofeedback sessions, especially if your eyes become tired or dry. Additionally, certain electrodes placed on the forehead or around the eyes may interfere with the lenses when you blink or move your eyes, affecting measurement accuracy.

Wearing glasses is often a better option, as they are more stable, cause less irritation, and do not interfere with brain activity measurements. If you usually wear contact lenses, we recommend wearing glasses during your neurofeedback sessions.

The number of neurofeedback sessions required to feel more balanced can vary greatly depending on several factors, including your individual goals, the condition being treated, and how your brain responds to the training. However, here’s a general guideline:

1. Initial Results (3-10 Sessions)

Many people begin to notice some improvements after 3 to 10 sessions. Early benefits often include:

  • Reduced anxiety or stress
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Better mood regulation
  • Enhanced focus and clarity

    This phase is about helping the brain begin to shift toward a more balanced state.

    2. Significant Improvements (10-20 Sessions)

    For more substantial and lasting changes, many individuals find that 10 to 20 sessions are necessary. At this point, people may experience:

    • Enhanced cognitive function (memory, concentration, problem-solving)
    • Decreased symptoms of depression or anxiety
    • Better emotional regulation and resilience

    The brain is generally learning to regulate its activity patterns more consistently, leading to longer-term benefits.

Alpha Music: Enhancing Relaxation and Focus Through Sound

Alpha music, designed to stimulate alpha brainwaves (8-13 Hz), is often created by artists and composers specializing in relaxing, meditative, or therapeutic music. This type of music is used for stress reduction, meditation, focus, and overall well-being. Below are some well-known musicians and artists recognized for creating alpha music:

This process is painless and takes about 5–10 minutes. Some people may feel slight discomfort from the electrode gel or the cap, but it’s usually minimal and temporary.

In addition to traditional musicians, some artists and producers specifically focus on binaural beats and isochronic tones, which directly stimulate alpha waves:

Kelly Howell: Known for her meditation and focus music.

iAwake Technologies: Develops tracks featuring binaural beats and meditative soundscapes.
