Can my thoughts be read or even influenced during neurofeedback?
No! This is not possible at any time. It is trained exclusively to better control one’s own thoughts. The electrodes are pure measuring instruments. They do not send impulses to the brain. Nothing is influenced from outside!
How long does a workout take?
As a rule, a training session lasts 60 minutes. It takes place as a single session. 40 minutes of the session are for neurofeedback training and the remaining time is for a relaxed arrival as well as pre- and debriefing of the training.
How many trainings are useful?
This depends on the particular symptoms or training goal. As a rule, sustainable effects occur after 15 – 20 sessions. For many people who train, approx. 30 training sessions are performed. Of course each training is examined individually and then it is decided how many further sessions or training adjustments would be useful.
How regularly do I have to train?
It is recommended to train 2 times a week for the first 6 – 8 weeks (if possible). After the starting time you can change the training rhythm to 1 time per week.
If you have already done 10 or more training sessions, it is also not bad if you are on holiday for 1 or 2 weeks or cannot make an appointment due to time reasons.
Do I need to prepare for training?
No! Special preparation is not necessary.
Are there any restrictions for me after training?
No! All activities can be performed normally, no matter if driving, learning or sports! Also the hairstyle remains intact.
How are the electrodes attached to the head?
This happens with small, saltwater-soaked sponges on the scalp. The small salt water residues are almost invisible and can be easily wiped off after training.
Is it possible to take an companion with you?
Of course! There is enough space in our training rooms. Both during the first meeting and during the training itself.
Do I have to book a fixed number of trainings?
No. With us you do not have to commit to a certain number of sessions in advance. It is planned from session to session and the therapy can be suspended or terminated at any time with no questions asked.
Are there any side effects?
No side effects are known from research and personal experience. Some people describe a certain tiredness after training, but it does not last long.
