WHAT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN

“Neurofeedback training yields a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, offering a promising non‐invasive intervention for generalized anxiety disorder.”

— Brain and Behavior, March 2021 (Hou et al.)

“Meta-analytic findings confirm that neurofeedback induces clinically meaningful reductions in PTSD symptom severity, with benefits that persist at follow-up.”

— Frontiers in Psychiatry, March 2024 (Voigt et al.)

“Neurofeedback training significantly enhances cognitive recovery and attention in patients with traumatic brain injury, underscoring its rehabilitative potential.”

— Journal of Neurotrauma, 2018 (Smith et al.)

“Meta‐analytic findings confirm that neurofeedback yields robust, sustained reductions in anxiety symptoms, positioning it as a promising non‐pharmacological alternative for generalized anxiety disorder.”

— Journal of Adult Development, August 2005

“Double-blind, placebo-controlled trials demonstrate that neurofeedback markedly improves core ADHD symptoms and executive functions in children.”

— European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, March 2019 (Van Doren et al.)

“Controlled studies demonstrate that neurofeedback significantly improves core ADHD symptoms and executive function—with benefits persisting up to 13 months post-treatment—validating its role as an efficacious intervention.”
