Clinical Efficacy First

Precision mapping.
Targeted protocols.

We deploy 19-channel quantitative EEG (QEEG) to identify network dysregulation, followed by operant conditioning protocols to normalise cortical activity.

Clinical Focus Areas

Attention Regulation

Theta/Beta Ratio Protocol

Targeting the central midline (Cz) to down-train excess Theta (4-8 Hz) and up-train low Beta (12-15 Hz) or SMR. Clinical data indicates significant improvements in sustained attention.

Anxiety & Hyperarousal

Alpha Symmetry Protocol

Addressing right frontal Alpha asymmetry. By encouraging greater Alpha amplitude in the right hemisphere relative to the left, we observe a reduction in somatic anxiety.

Trauma & Dysregulation

Infra-Low Frequency (ILF)

Targeting extremely slow cortical potentials (< 0.1 Hz) to stabilise the autonomic nervous system. Particularly indicated for severe hyper-arousal and PTSD.

The Mapping Protocol

Phase 01

Data Acquisition

A 19-channel electro-cap is applied. We record 10 minutes of eyes-open and 10 minutes of eyes-closed resting state EEG data, ensuring impedance remains below 5kΩ.

Phase 02

Artifacting & Analysis

Raw data is manually pruned for muscle (EMG), eye blink (EOG), and movement artifacts. The clean data is processed through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).

Phase 03

Normative Database Comparison

We compare the patient's spectral data against the FDA-registered NeuroGuide database (N=625) to identify statistically significant deviations (Z-scores > +2 or < -2).

Phase 04

Protocol Design

A highly specific operant conditioning protocol is established based on the Z-score deviations, targeting exact Brodmann areas and network hubs.

Observed Clinical Outcomes

* Symptom reduction percentages represent mean score improvements on respective standardized assessments post-treatment. Remission defined as dropping below clinical thresholds.

Hardware & Signal Fidelity

Clinical outcomes rely entirely on the accuracy of the signal. We use strictly medical-grade DC-coupled amplifiers.

Scientific Validation

Neurofeedback is not a novel concept; it is supported by decades of peer-reviewed research. Our clinical protocols are strictly aligned with the findings of the ISNR (International Society for Neurofeedback and Research) and the AAPB.

Targeting the Default Mode Network (DMN)

Much of clinical pathology—from rumination in depression to hyper-vigilance in anxiety—stems from a failure to appropriately suppress the Default Mode Network during task-positive states.

By utilizing LORETA (Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography) 3D imaging, we can specifically target deep cortical hubs like the Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC) and Medial Prefrontal Cortex (mPFC), rewarding the brain for establishing healthy phase lock and shift dynamics between these regions.

The In-Clinic Experience

01

Preparation

Sensors are applied using conductive paste. The process is painless, non-invasive, and takes less than 5 minutes.

02

Training

You watch a movie or play a simple video game. The software continuously monitors your EEG and fades the screen or audio when your brain deviates from the target parameter.

03

Consolidation

Through hundreds of micro-rewards per minute, the cortex implicitly learns the new state. Sessions last 30-45 minutes.

Subjective Reporting

While QEEG provides objective data, patient experience remains paramount. We utilize weekly standardized psychometric scaling (GAD-7, PHQ-9, ASRS) to ensure cortical changes are translating to real-world functional improvements.

Objective Measurement

Every 20 sessions, a follow-up QEEG is recorded. We mathematically compare the mid-treatment map against the baseline to verify Z-score normalization toward the mean.

Addressing Clinical Skepticism

Is it just a placebo?

Double-blind, sham-controlled studies have demonstrated that true neurofeedback produces significant cortical changes and symptom reduction that sham (fake) neurofeedback does not, particularly in ADHD populations.

Why isn't it more widely prescribed?

It requires significant time investment (30-40 hours of clinic time) compared to the 15-minute medication management model. It is also heavily operator-dependent; poorly designed protocols yield poor results.

Are the results permanent?

Longitudinal studies indicate that once neuroplastic consolidation occurs (typically after 30-40 sessions), the behavioral and cortical changes are sustained years post-treatment, unlike medication which ceases working when metabolized.

Are there side effects?

When guided by a QEEG, side effects are minimal and transient (e.g., temporary fatigue, mild headache). Without QEEG guidance, training the wrong frequency can temporarily exacerbate symptoms.
