Brain Training

Neurofeedback trains the brain to function more effectively.

BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback aims to organize dysregulated brainwave patterns. This process involves a series of neurofeedback sessions using specialized computer technology.

Training the brain to produce more balanced brainwaves operates within the framework of neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life in response to learning, experience, and environmental stimuli. Neuroplasticity underlies BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback by harnessing the brain’s capacity to adapt and change to optimize its function.

During the sessions, noninvasive and painless sensors are placed on specific scalp locations based on a customized qEEG Brain Map report analysis. These sensors pick up brainwave signals emitted by the brain, which are then transmitted to a computer. The BrainCore Therapy software amplifies and records these signals in real-time, displaying information about the patient’s brainwaves on the doctor’s monitor.

The BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback software identifies when the brainwaves become properly ordered and regulated, and this feedback is then provided to the client. It may appear as a game, movie, or sound tool to teach and retrain the brain to establish new neural pathways.

Through visual and auditory feedback, individuals learn to recognize and modify their brainwave patterns to achieve desired outcomes, such as improved focus, attention, relaxation, or emotional regulation. The process is designed to be easy and enjoyable for the client, facilitating practical neurofeedback training sessions.

Through repeated practice and reinforcement during BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback sessions, patients can effectively train their brains to produce more balanced and regulated brainwave patterns. Over time, this leads to improvements in various neurological conditions, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function. BrainCore therapy offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to optimizing brain function and promoting mental well-being by leveraging neuroplasticity.

Published Research

For 40 years, neurofeedback has been studied in research labs at prominent universities worldwide. Dr. Frank Duffy, a professor and pediatric neurologist at Harvard Medical School, stated, “Neurofeedback should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. If any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy, it would have been universally accepted and widely used.” 

The American Association of Pediatrics has rated neurofeedback as Level One Best Support for ADHD. Olympic and professional athletes widely use it to enhance their sports performance. The US military has also used neurofeedback as an essential tool in the treatment of PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is brain training?

Brain training refers to exercises that strengthen the brain’s ability to function more efficiently, much like workouts for the body. Traditional brain training often uses puzzles or games. BrainCore neurofeedback goes deeper by training the brain directly through its electrical activity, or brainwaves. By giving real-time feedback, BrainCore teaches the brain to regulate itself more effectively. Over time, this can improve focus, memory, sleep, mood, and stress resilience, helping individuals reach higher levels of mental performance.

During a session, sensors measure brainwave activity while the individual watches a video or plays a game. The screen responds when the brain produces healthier rhythms, rewarding that activity. When the brain drifts into less optimal patterns, the feedback changes. This process teaches the brain to self-correct, reinforcing balance. Over repeated sessions, the brain learns to maintain healthier patterns naturally, which can improve attention, calmness, and cognitive flexibility in daily life.

BrainCore neurofeedback supports a wide range of goals, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving sleep, focus, and learning. Many people also use it for peak performance in sports, academics, or creative pursuits. Because brainwaves influence how we think, feel, and respond, training them can enhance mental clarity, emotional regulation, and resilience. Brain training is not limited to treating symptoms — it also helps optimize everyday performance and wellbeing.

Brain games and apps work on mental skills through practice, while BrainCore neurofeedback works directly with brainwave activity. Apps may improve memory or problem-solving in specific contexts, but neurofeedback strengthens the brain’s ability to regulate itself across all areas of life. By training core brain rhythms, BrainCore builds a foundation for improved focus, stress control, creativity, and emotional balance that extends beyond games into real-world situations.

BrainCore neurofeedback is often used to improve attention and working memory. Many people with distractibility or brain fog show imbalances in brainwaves that interfere with focus. Neurofeedback helps train the brain to increase beta activity linked to concentration and reduce excess slow waves. This results in clearer thinking and better information retention. Students, professionals, and older adults alike often notice sharper focus, improved recall, and greater efficiency in their daily tasks.

Most people benefit from 20 to 40 sessions, depending on their specific goals. Some notice improvements in focus, mood, or sleep within 8–12 sessions, while more profound changes take more time. Neurofeedback is a learning process, so consistency is essential. Each session reinforces healthier brainwave activity, helping the brain gradually adopt these patterns in the long term. Once established, these improvements often last, although occasional “tune-up” sessions may be helpful during times of stress or increased cognitive demand.

BrainCore neurofeedback is non-invasive, safe, and drug-free. Sensors placed on the scalp only record brain activity; nothing is sent into the brain. The process is painless and often enjoyable, using engaging videos or games. Side effects are rare but may include temporary fatigue as the brain adjusts. Because it uses the brain’s natural ability to learn and adapt, BrainCore is considered a safe and effective way to train the brain at any age.

Children and teens often benefit from brain training to support focus, learning, and emotional regulation. Many parents choose BrainCore neurofeedback for kids with attention challenges, test anxiety, or sleep issues. Since the sessions utilize video-based feedback, children typically find them enjoyable and engaging. Over time, their brains learn healthier rhythms, making schoolwork, social interactions, and daily routines easier to manage. The earlier healthy brainwave patterns are reinforced, the more lasting the benefits will be.

Stress often manifests as overactive high-beta brainwave activity, keeping the brain in a constant state of alertness. BrainCore neurofeedback helps reduce these patterns and strengthen alpha rhythms associated with calmness. As the brain learns to regulate stress responses, people often feel more resilient, less anxious, and better able to handle daily challenges. Improved stress management also supports sleep, focus, and emotional well-being, making neurofeedback a valuable tool for building long-term balance.

Results are often long-lasting because neurofeedback works through neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form and maintain new connections. Once the brain learns healthier rhythms, it tends to naturally support them. Many people report ongoing improvements in focus, sleep, and stress control long after completing their sessions. Some choose periodic “tune-ups” during stressful periods or before major life events. With consistency, BrainCore brain training provides tools that support lasting cognitive and emotional resilience.
