Frequently Asked Questions

Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) is a non-invasive process that monitors brain activity using electrodes, or leads, placed on the scalp. These leads only record brainwaves—they do not send anything into the brain. 

During training, the brain receives real-time auditory feedback (sound reward) and learns to develop more efficient and stable patterns over time. This process is based on repetition and reinforcement, helping the brain become more regulated.

Brain waves are electrical signals produced by communication between brain cells. Different patterns are associated with states such as deep sleep, relaxation, calm focus, and active thinking. Balanced brain activity supports optimal function. 

Neurofeedback is used by both children (typically age 6+) and adults. Individuals seek it for support with focus, mood, sleep, stress, and overall performance.

No. Wilmington Neurofeedback works with children, teens, adults, professionals, athletes, veterans, and individuals seeking support for stress regulation, focus, cognitive performance, and overall brain wellness.

Neurofeedback is non-invasive and does not involve medication or electrical stimulation to the brain.

Most clients describe neurofeedback as relaxing and comfortable. Many individuals feel calmer, mentally refreshed, or more clear-headed after sessions.

No. Neurofeedback is painless. Sensors placed on the scalp simply monitor brainwave activity.

An assessment involves placing small sensors on the scalp to record brain activity during a few short tasks. The data is then analyzed to understand your brain’s patterns and guide a personalized training plan. Click here to learn more.

Sessions typically last about one hour. We can adjust this time depending on client needs ot constraints. 

Most clients complete between 20 to 40 sessions. Every individual’s experience is different depending on their goals, nervous system patterns, consistency, and overall wellness factors. 

Coverage varies by provider. Some plans may offer reimbursement for EEG biofeedback. It’s best to contact your insurance company directly and ask about CPT code 90901.

If you are taking medication, it’s important to consult with your medical provider before making any changes.
