Biofeedback is a brain-training method that helps a child learn to recognise and regulate their own mental state using real-time feedback from their brain activity.
During a biofeedback session, sensors placed on the child’s head read brainwave activity (EEG) and translate it into a game or short film on screen. The child moves the game forward simply by reaching a calmer, more focused mental state, with no medication and nothing entering the body.
The method is used to support children with ADHD and ADD, concentration and memory difficulties, overactivity, emotional and stress-related struggles, sleep problems, speech difficulties, autism spectrum conditions, and school challenges such as dyslexia or dysgraphia.
It is a brain-training method where a child sees their own brain activity displayed as a game or film and learns to influence it with their own mind, improving focus and calm along the way.
Usually from around 6-7 years old, once a child can hold attention for a while and cooperate consciously during a session.
Yes. It is non-invasive - the sensors only read brain activity and never send any impulses into the child’s body.
It depends on the child’s individual needs, but parents usually notice initial changes after a dozen or so sessions, with a full training course involving a longer series.
