Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about neurofeedback therapy and our services at Beyond Limits Neurofeedback.

What is neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain function. It's a non-invasive method that can help improve various cognitive and behavioral issues by training the brain to function more efficiently.

How does neurofeedback work?

During a neurofeedback session, sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brain activity. This activity is then displayed on a screen, often in the form of a video game or movie. The brain is rewarded for changing its activity to more appropriate patterns, which, over time, can result in improved brain regulation and function.

What conditions can neurofeedback help with?

Neurofeedback has shown potential benefits for a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, sleep disorders, migraines, and cognitive decline. It can also be used to enhance performance in areas such as focus, memory, and stress management.

Is neurofeedback safe?

Yes, neurofeedback is considered very safe. It's non-invasive and doesn't involve any drugs. The process simply involves measuring brain activity and providing feedback. However, as with any treatment, it's important to work with qualified professionals.

How many sessions of neurofeedback are typically needed?

The number of sessions can vary depending on the individual and the condition being addressed. Typically, a course of treatment might involve 20-40 sessions, but some people may see improvements in fewer sessions, while others might benefit from more. We customize the treatment plan based on each individual's needs and progress.

How long does each neurofeedback session last?

A typical neurofeedback session lasts about 30-45 minutes, including setup time. The actual training time is usually around 20-30 minutes.

Are the effects of neurofeedback permanent?

The goal of neurofeedback is to create lasting changes in brain function. Many people report long-term benefits from neurofeedback training. However, like any skill, occasional 'tune-up' sessions may be beneficial for some individuals to maintain optimal brain function.

Is neurofeedback covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for neurofeedback varies. Some insurance plans may cover it, especially if it's being used to treat a diagnosed condition. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage. Our team can also assist you in understanding potential costs and payment options.
