History of Neurofeedback

1960s: The Beginning

Research by M. Barry Sterman and Wanda Wyrwicka showed that brain activity could be measured and influenced using EEG.

Key Discovery: Brain Patterns Can Change

A specific brainwave pattern—sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)—was linked to deep focus and stability.

Researchers discovered the brain can learn and adapt when given real-time feedback.

1970s: Expanding the Research

Further studies at University of California, Los Angeles showed that trained brain patterns could support improved neurological stability.


This helped move neurofeedback from research into real-world application.

Today at Wilmington Neurofeedback

With advancements in technology, neurofeedback has become more precise, comfortable, and tailored to the individual.


At Wilmington Neurofeedback, we build on this progress with a personalized approach designed to support more efficient brain function—helping improve:

  • Focus & Attention 
  • Emotional Balance 
  • Sleep Quality
