Neurofeedback
Through this brain training, we help in the recovery of a state of natural balance, with fully individualized treatment plans.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a technique that allows to observe and train the functioning of the brain in real time.
It's like creating a bridge between what the child feels on a day-to-day basis and what's going on in their brain.
It works as a “gym for the brain”: just as we exercise our muscles with physical activity, it is also possible to stimulate neuroplasticity through brain training.
Neurofeedback is a safe, painless and non-invasive intervention, which helps the brain regain its balance — without the need for medication.
What is Neuro...?
Refers to Neurons, the main cells of the brain, which communicate with each other through electrical impulses.
These impulses originate brain waves: signals that vary according to our mental state.
What is Feedback...?
Refer to return of information (response stimulus) in real time.
The brain receives feedback about its activity through stimuli, which are interrupted or continued depending on the brain response.
This process activates the reward system and teaches it, in a natural way, to operate in a more balanced way.
How does neurofeedback work?
We know that taking the first step can raise doubts — especially when it comes to the brain.
For this reason, we want to explain in detail what is happening in Neurofeedback sessions, so you know exactly what to expect:
01
Before start: reception and preparation
The child will sit in a comfortable chair, in a calm and peaceful environment.
Next, we will place small sensors on their scalp. These sensors are fixed with a conductive paste (pain-free and needle-free!) which allows us to capture brain waves.
Nothing is invasive.Throughout the process, our team will accompany the child, and explain what is happening.
02
During the session: training happens naturally
Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes. During this time, the child will watch movies or play games.
And here comes the concept of “feedback”:
✅If the brain is balanced and producing waves within the expected patterns, the video will continue to run normally or the game will continue uninterrupted.
❌ But if there is distraction, anxiety or brain activity outside the ideal, the video may go dark, the sound will fail or the game will stop momentarily.
Over time, the brain learns to self-regulate, as if you were training a muscle to work better.
03
End of the session: back to the routine
After 45 minutes of training, we carefully remove the sensors and clean any residue from the conductive paste of the scalp.
No side effects or recovery time — the child can leave the clinic and resume their activities normally.
Each neurofeedback session is an opportunity for the brain to train its functioning.
Over time, the results begin to emerge: more focus, less anxiety, greater balance!
- In our protocols, we recommend two sessions per week. However, more intensive protocols can also be considered, according to the guidance of the clinical team.
- The first results usually appear around the 10th session, but the total number of sessions to reach the maximum potential will depend on each case.
- In the 20th session, we performed a new qEEG to compare the current brain map with the initial one, analyze progress and adjust the therapeutic plan, if necessary.

My daughter had a lot of anxiety that was even affecting her at school level but thanks to this treatment she improved immensely. This would be very noticeable in school and it does not seem the same. I recommend.
I really liked the accompaniment. What we want to improve is always taken into account and affects us the most. I am a completely different person, much calmer and more focused. Neurofeedback makes all the difference! I strongly advise those who manage to get green for this type of treatment
I liked it from the care to the treatment, my son is 8 years old suffers from anxiety and has attention deficit. With the help of neurofeedback you can already control your anxiety, you are calmer and more confident and your attention has improved a lot.
We are having an excellent experience. In a few sessions and you can already notice results. Great professionals and very welcoming, both at the reception and therapists. Thank you
I found a friend at the NeuroImprove Clinic when I was already desperate because all the doors were closing for my son. Today he is a teenager with friends and a super normal life, and with a very strong self-esteem. This achievement of mine is due to this magnificent clinic that has a team of excellent professionals.
Fantastic clinic and team and always looking for agenda solutions and helping the children in this case my daughter. I highly recommend coming to Porto from Lisbon because the confidence is maximum and the support, the professionalism of the teams, the way they explain the progress of the sessions can only give improvements..
It's been a very positive experience. Although there are not many sessions yet, we have already noticed differences in our son. We always give feedback in all sessions and we have the opportunity to follow the results with the evaluations made before, during and after the program. Thank you all, they are an excellent team.

An excellent follow-up with results that exceeded my expectations in my child's Hyperactivity.
I noticed a lot of differences in my son, namely in his behavior, more in relation to me, that we were with authority problems, but thank goodness he has corrected! And if I eventually need treatment again, this is where I will go for sure! Many thanks to the whole team always ready to help, and Dra. Beatriz for all the support and affection given throughout our journey! Thank you all at NeuroImprove 🙏❤️
