What Is Neurofeedback Therapy?
Our Whole‑Brain Approach
Our overall approach with brain issues is to work on improving the health of the individual brain cells through improved nutrition, address root causes of poor brain health such as infections, inflammation, and environmental exposures. However, once these issues are addressed, often patients can benefit from teaching their brain to work better and to build new connections, a process known as neuroplasticity.
Understanding Your Brain Waves
There are five types of brain wave patterns. They include:
- Delta brain waves, which are very slow and occur mostly during sleep.
- Theta brain waves, which are slow and occur during relaxation, daydreaming and twilight states.
- Alpha brain waves, which occur during relaxed states. SMR or sensorimotor rhythm brain waves, which occur during periods of focused relaxation.
- Beta brain waves, which are fast and are associated with concentration and mental work.
How Neurofeedback Trains Your Brain
How can this happen? The computer gives your brain positive feedback on when it is changing the timing and patterns of your brain waves and over time patients learn how to improve the timing and pattern of their brain waves, just like they learned how to ride a bike or play the piano.
Neurofeedback & QEEG: How They Work Together
We measure your brain waves with a quantitative EEG (QEEG) brain‑map. You’ll wear the same cap during neurofeedback, allowing us to translate your brain’s real‑time activity into a custom training plan that helps retune wave timing and patterns toward healthier rhythms.Learn more about QEEG
Inside a Session: What to Expect
The cap is placed on a patient’s head while connected to a TV screen.There are a number of options (movie, video game, etc.) that the patient can enjoy and the sensors control the screen. If the brain activity is where it needs to be, the movie continues to play (or the video game advances). If the brain activity isn’t where it needs to be, the movie fades (or the video games slows down).
Over time the brain figures out what to do.
Recommended Schedule & Progress Tracking
Patients will do this for 60 minutes at a time to reach an optimized level of brain activity. Patients can do it at Rezilir or can do it in the comfort of their home worldwide supervised by an online technician. We recommend a schedule of 4-5 sessions a week for a minimum of 20 sessions.
Progress can be documented by repeat QEEGs every 2 weeks. Each time the brain gets a little better and over time, the changes last a little longer.
Evidence‑Based Benefits
Neurofeedback has peer-reviewed data from hundreds of studies. It has been shown to be a medication-free way of improving the following types of symptoms: Attention, Insomnia, Anxiety, Memory loss, and Obsessive behaviorThere are five types of brain wave patterns:

We measure brain waves through a test called the QEEG (more details later in the description). When a patient does neurofeedback, they will wear the same cap that they use to do the QEEG.
Once your clinician has reviewed the QEEG, they will prescribe a protocol that looks to teach your brain to change the timing and patterns of brain waves.

It helps to improve the function and efficiency of the brain and helps individuals learn to retrain their brain with more positive patterns.

It has been shown to be a medication-free way of improving the following types of symptoms: Attention and focus, insomnia, anxiety, memory loss, obsessive behavior.
