Neurofeedback is a method of brain training.
By observing its electrical activity in real time, the brain learns to better regulate itself.
The effectiveness of neurofeedback
Neurofeedback has been extensively studied and proven effective for various neurological and psychological disorders. Scientific research shows significant improvements in patients suffering from ADHD, anxiety, depression and other conditions.
Clinical studies reveal that neurofeedback can produce lasting changes in brain activity, offering an alternative or complement to traditional treatments.
Decades of scientific research
Neurofeedback is built on a solid scientific foundation developed since the 1960s
Pioneering Discovery
Neurofeedback emerged in the 1960s when Dr. Barry Sterman conducted experiments with cats. By measuring a brain frequency of 12-15 Hz (called SMR) and rewarding increases with food, he demonstrated brain activity could be modified through conditioning. These findings were published in Brain Research in 1967.
Scientific Validation
NASA approached Sterman regarding fuel vapors causing seizures in astronauts. Testing revealed cats previously trained in neurofeedback remained immune to convulsions. Subsequent experiments with epileptic individuals showed a 65% reduction in seizures when trained to increase SMR waves.
Technological Advances
Development of 19-electrode systems enabling complete 3D brain mapping
Canada Leader
Neuroperforma positions itself as a leader in neurofeedback in Canada with the most advanced 19-electrode neurofeedback equipment
Here is how a typical Neurofeedback process works at Neuroperforma
From first contact to lasting results
Explanatory consultation
30 minThe first step is an explanatory consultation – a free 30-minute meeting with an advisor to understand your needs, present the process and answer your questions. Goals are then defined with the psychologist.
Interview with the psychologist
Discussion about your difficulties and defining your goals.
Brain activity measurement (qEEG)
30-45 min30 to 45 minute assessment performed by a specialized technologist.
Analysis and complete report
Personalized report written by our team.
Follow-up meeting
Delivery of the report and recommendations.
Starting the protocol
45 min/sessionA structured protocol of 12 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, led by an expert.
Effective treatment for many conditions
Neurofeedback helps treat a variety of psychological disorders and optimize performance
Management of Psychological Disorders
Offers new approaches to treating neurological conditions like depression and anxiety disorders. Brain training develops self-regulation abilities, reducing symptoms without undesirable side effects from medications.
Improvement in Concentration and Attention
Practical solution for concentration or attention problems such as ADHD. Training stabilizes and optimizes brainwaves, significantly improving ability to concentrate and remain focused over extended periods.
Reduction of Stress and Anxiety
Provides relief from stress and anxiety by promoting calmer mind states and regulating emotional reactions. Brain training maintains calm and serenity, reducing anxiety symptoms and improving overall well-being.
Improvement in Sleep
Addresses sleep problems including insomnia and nighttime awakenings. Modulating brainwaves promotes deep, restorative sleep by regulating sleep cycles.
Improvement in Cognitive and Sports Performance
Enhances cognitive performance for studies, work, or daily activities. Optimizing brainwave activity increases memory capacity, information processing speed, and creativity.
Management of Chronic Pain
Teaches brain to reduce pain perception by modifying brain activity patterns associated with pain, improving quality of life and daily comfort.
