Neurofeedback is a scientifically based method used worldwide to measure and train brain activity. It works on the basis of the electrical brain activity measurable in the EEG (electroencephalogram). A neurofeedback device recognises deviations from defined frequency bands \u2013 or matches with a set training goal \u2013 in real time and feeds them back visually or acoustically.<\/p>\n\n

How does a neurofeedback device work?<\/h2>\n

Electrodes on the scalp pick up the EEG. The device translates these brainwaves into immediate feedback through software or an app. When the brain reaches the desired state, the feedback is rewarding; when attention drifts, it changes accordingly. Over repeated sessions users practise self-regulation. The user can choose the reward themselves \u2013 for example a piece of music, a video clip or a game scenario.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of a training series the intervals between sessions are increased to test how stable the results are. Once they hold, the training can be ended.<\/p>\n\n

Professional neurofeedback devices for clinics and practices<\/h2>\n

For professional use, Mindfield offers the MindMaster series: the MindMaster Neuro 4 with 2-channel EEG for pure neurofeedback, and the MindMaster Neuro 9\/11 and BioNeuro models with up to 6 EEG channels. The BioNeuro line additionally combines neurofeedback with peripheral biofeedback (EMG, EDA, skin temperature, pulse, respiration) in one system. The MindMaster Neuro 4 cannot be upgraded to the other devices in the series; all other MindMaster devices can be extended as needed.<\/p>\n\n

Neurofeedback for home use<\/h2>\n

The eSense EEGenius was designed for guided neurofeedback home training: a 1-channel EEG system that is easy to apply and runs structured sessions through a free browser app \u2013 available to rent and used together with a trained supervisor.<\/p>\n\n

Why choose a Mindfield neurofeedback device?<\/h2>\n

Mindfield Biosystems develops and manufactures its biofeedback and neurofeedback systems in Germany. You buy directly from the manufacturer \u2013 with German engineering and in-house manufacturing, personal consultation and long-term availability of support and spare parts.<\/p>\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions About Neurofeedback Devices<\/h2>\n

What is neurofeedback and how does it differ from biofeedback?<\/h3>\n

Neurofeedback is a specialised form of biofeedback that focuses on brain activity (EEG). While biofeedback measures various body signals such as skin conductance or muscle tension, neurofeedback records the brain's electrical activity via electrodes on the scalp. The measured brainwaves are fed back in real time so that users learn to train specific activity patterns.<\/p>\n

Which neurofeedback devices are suitable for clinical use?<\/h3>\n

Mindfield offers the MindMaster series: the MindMaster Neuro 4 with 2-channel EEG for pure neurofeedback, and the MindMaster Neuro 9\/11 and BioNeuro models (up to 6 EEG channels) that combine neurofeedback with peripheral biofeedback. All MindMaster devices work with the common neurofeedback software solutions.<\/p>\n

Can I do neurofeedback training at home?<\/h3>\n

Yes, the eSense EEGenius was designed for neurofeedback home training. The 1-channel EEG device is easy to apply and works with a free app for guided sessions.<\/p>\n

How much does a neurofeedback device cost?<\/h3>\n

Home neurofeedback with the eSense EEGenius is available to rent flexibly; professional MindMaster systems start at 3,990 EUR and scale with the number of EEG channels and software modules you need.<\/p>\n\n

Professional neurofeedback training<\/h2>\n

For professional use we recommend a certified training. Our training partner, the Academy for Neurofeedback (AfN), offers a modular neurofeedback trainer\/therapist training at several locations across Germany. The 4-stage training (NFB 1\u20134) in small groups of max. 5 participants teaches sound knowledge \u2013 including a final examination and supervision \u2013 using Mindfield MindMaster devices among others. Advanced courses on multi-channel EEG and special topics are available for experienced users.<\/p>\n\n
