Frequently Asked Questions
01
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback, or electroencephalography (EEG) biofeedback, is a reward-based training therapy for your brain.
During neurofeedback at Integrative Medica, our providers use an EEG and advanced computer software to monitor and evaluate your brainwave activity. They then stimulate, retrain, and reorganize the neural activity in your brain using various stimuli, such as videos, games, or sounds.
With neurofeedback, our providers find your abnormal brainwave patterns and make them normal. When you have normal brainwave activity, your brain's ability to self-regulate improves. This means your brain has more control over your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts.

03
What happens during neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback at Integrative Medica is a non-invasive and painless in-office therapy that takes 30 to 60 minutes.
During your session, our providers place special sensors on specific areas of your head that are attached to the EEG. The EEG and computer program process the information collected by the sensors and evaluate your brainwave activity.
Then, while you sit and relax in the therapy room, our providers use games, videos, or sounds to change your brainwave activity. You will immediately get feedback when your brainwave patterns improve, encouraging your brainwave activity toward more desirable patterns.
You should notice an improvement in your brain function immediately after your first neurofeedback session.
