🧠 Do you have to concentrate during ILF neurofeedback?

Not in the way you might think!

During infra-low frequency (ILF) neurofeedback, small sensors pick up brain activity while you watch a movie or play a video game that responds to that activity. You don’t have to consciously control your brain activity or try to make something happen.

ILF neurofeedback is individualized and can be used with people who have a wide range of needs, including those who find talk-based approaches challenging.

There’s no skill to master. Just sit back, relax, and let the process unfold.

Interested in learning infra-low frequency (ILF) neurofeedback? 🧠

Our online training combines foundational instruction with hands-on practice, giving clinicians and supervisors the opportunity to learn about ILF neurofeedback and begin applying it in their work.

📅 Module I: February 17–19, 2027
📅 Module II: March 11–12, 2027

Our training includes:
✓ Live virtual instruction
✓ Hands-on practicum
✓ Ongoing clinical mentoring

Training is offered through our membership program, which includes ongoing clinical support and access to our Results Tracking System.

We believe learning ILF neurofeedback goes beyond understanding the fundamentals. Clinicians also need opportunities to practice, apply what they learn, and have support as they begin integrating neurofeedback into their work.

Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme highlights the importance of listening to people with lived experience and making sure their voices help shape the mental health services and decisions that affect their lives.

At NAP, we believe hearing from clients is essential to understanding how neurofeedback care is truly making a difference. Their experiences can help build the evidence needed to expand awareness, access, and advocacy for neurofeedback.

Our Results Tracking System gives clients a voice by allowing them to identify the concerns that matter most to them and track changes over time. Clinicians and organizations can then see those experiences alongside neurofeedback data, including training sites and frequencies.

When we systematically listen to what clients report, we can better understand what is happening across time, across clients, and across practices. That information can help organizations demonstrate outcomes, strengthen programs, support funding and reporting, and contribute to the growing evidence base for infra-low frequency neurofeedback.

The more we learn from real-world experiences, the more we can strengthen advocacy for neurofeedback and help ensure that client voices inform the future of mental health care.

Real voices. Real outcomes. Real change.

🧠 Trauma doesn't only affect memories.

It can also influence how the brain and nervous system respond to stress and perceived threats.

Sometimes, the brain and body can remain on alert even after the danger has passed.

The good news? The brain and nervous system are adaptable.

For people affected by trauma, supporting the brain's natural ability to self-regulate may be an important part of supporting nervous system regulation.

In The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk discusses the role of neurofeedback among approaches used with people experiencing traumatic stress:

“...focus not only on regulating the intense memories activated by trauma but also on restoring a sense of agency.”

— Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score

This work highlights the relationship between traumatic stress, brain regulation, and neurofeedback.

ILF neurofeedback is a personalized approach that uses real-time EEG feedback to support the brain's natural ability to self-regulate.

Can children do neurofeedback? 🧠

Yes! Neurofeedback can be used with clients of any age, from infants to the elderly.

One reason it can be accessible to children is that it’s a true “low-barrier” treatment. There’s no need for them to consciously control their brain activity.

They can simply relax, watch a video, or play a video game while the neurofeedback session takes place.

Neurofeedback is also compassion-informed, non-judgmental, and non-triggering.

A simple approach that can be adapted across the lifespan.

🧠 What happens after 20 sessions of ILF Neurofeedback?

Real-time outcomes tracked through the Results Tracking System show an average 40% reduction in client-rated concerns after 20 neurofeedback sessions.

Our Results Tracking System follows real-time outcomes based on what matters to clients, including the severity of their client-selected concerns.

But the impact of neurofeedback can extend beyond the concern that initially brings someone to treatment.

Because of this, we also track changes in:

✨ Quality of life
✨ Healthcare usage
✨ Behavior
✨ Cognitive function
✨ Safety
✨ Acceptability of neurofeedback

This gives us a broader look at how clients are experiencing change over time, not just whether one specific concern improves.

This is just the beginning. We'll be exploring what the data shows across these areas in upcoming Research Highlights.

🧠 What does self-regulation really mean?

Ever notice how some days you can handle stress, stay focused, and adapt to whatever comes your way, while other days even small things can feel overwhelming?

Self-regulation plays an important role in how we respond, adapt, and manage our internal state. It can affect everything from attention and emotions to stress responses, impulse control, sleep, energy, and arousal.

And here's the important part: self-regulation isn't about being calm all the time. It's about having the flexibility to be alert when you need to be alert, focused when you need to focus, and calm when it's time to rest.
