FAQ
Common questions
Is neurofeedback supported by research?
Partly. Early studies of fMRI neurofeedback show people can learn to influence activity in targeted brain regions, with promising findings for mood and pain regulation. The field is young: samples are small, protocols vary, and results are not yet consistent. Treat it as an emerging approach, not an established therapy.
