What is neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is like teaching your brain how to play its favorite game better, and it does this by giving it clues about what it's doing.

Imagine you're playing a video game, and every time you do something cool, the screen gives you a little cheer or a bonus. That makes you want to keep doing that thing! Neurofeedback works in a similar way. It uses sensors on your head, like stickers, to watch what's happening inside your brain. Then it shows you pictures, sounds, or games that change based on how well your brain is working.

Think of your brain as a robot with lots of little parts. Sometimes those parts get confused and send the wrong messages. Neurofeedback helps them figure out what to do again by giving them a hint, like when you're playing a game, and the screen tells you if you're getting closer to winning.

It's not magic, it's just your brain learning how to work better with some help from fun games!
