If your question has not been answered yet, you will find our contact form further down this page.


Can my thoughts be read or even influenced during neurofeedback?

No! This is not possible at any time. You only train to control your own thoughts better. The electrodes are pure measuring instruments. They do not send any impulses to the brain. Nothing is influenced from outside!

How long does a training session last?

As a rule, a training session lasts 50 minutes. It takes place as an individual session and includes the neurofeedback training as well as time to arrive and relax and a short briefing before and after the training.

How many training sessions make sense?

This depends on the individual symptoms or training goal. As a rule, lasting effects appear from about 10 sessions. Depending on the condition, a training duration of 20–30 sessions is recommended. Of course, each training session is considered individually and a decision is then made on how many further sessions or training adjustments would make sense.

How regularly do I have to train?

We recommend training twice a week for the first 6–8 weeks (if possible). After this initial phase you can switch to once a week.

If 10 or more training sessions have already been held, it is not a problem if you are on holiday for a week or two or if you cannot make an appointment due to time constraints.

Do I have to prepare for a training session?

No! No special preparation is necessary.

Are there any restrictions for me after a training session?

No! You can go about all your activities as normal, whether driving, studying or sports! Your hairstyle also stays intact.

How are the electrodes attached to the head?

This is done with small, saltwater-soaked sponges on the scalp. The small salt water residues are almost invisible and can be easily removed after training.

Is it possible to bring a companion?

Of course! There is enough space in our training rooms. Both during the initial consultation and during the training itself.

Do I have to book a fixed number of sessions?

No. We do not require you to commit to a certain number of sessions in advance. We plan from session to session, and the therapy can be paused or ended at any time.

Are there any side effects?

No side effects are known from research or personal experience. Some people describe a certain tiredness after training, but it does not last long.
