The brain can be trained. At home, 30 minutes a day.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training technique that uses real-time EEG monitoring to help you learn to regulate your brain activity. By watching a video that responds to your brainwaves, your brain naturally learns to produce healthier patterns.

Yes and no. When used as part of a strategy to address medical issues like depression, anxiety disorders, or dementia, it can be considered therapy. However, it is fundamentally a training method that helps with various medical conditions, not a medical therapy per se. In medical science, it typically does not have the status of a medication.

The most common choice is 60 days for €800, which with daily training is about €13 per session. For long-term clients, with an extension of €250 a month, a session is about €8.30. The equipment is included in the price.

We recommend training every day, because regularity contributes most to progress. You still set your own pace: a few sessions a week also make sense, and your training supervisor helps you put together a schedule you can keep. Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, at any time that suits your schedule.

Yes. Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive and has been used safely for over 60 years. It simply reads your brain activity and provides feedback - nothing is sent into your brain. It's suitable for children and adults alike.

Not at all. You get a pre-configured tablet on which you watch the video, the Umo device and a cable with electrodes. The cable plugs into Umo with a single connector, and the small electrodes at its other end stick to your head with conductive cream. Turn on both devices, place the electrodes following our simple guide, and start watching. Our team monitors everything remotely.

Most people notice initial changes within 2-4 weeks of regular training. More significant improvements usually develop over 8 to 12 weeks. Your progress is monitored by our team who will adjust your protocol as needed.

Simply return the equipment to us. There's no commitment to purchase anything. If you want to continue, you can extend your subscription.

Neurofeedback is backed by over 60 years of peer-reviewed research. The International Society for Neuroregulation & Research (ISNR) maintains a comprehensive repository of scientific studies demonstrating its efficacy for conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and peak performance.

No. While EEG provides valuable information about brain activity patterns, it cannot be used alone to precisely diagnose conditions. The EEG signal is one piece of the puzzle that becomes meaningful only when integrated with other case information, your history, and clinical observations. Similarly, we cannot reliably measure progress solely from the signal. The primary indicator of success is your own self-observation of changes in daily life - or in the case of children, parents' observations of behavioral and emotional improvements.

Neurofeedback is brain training, just as exercise is training for the body. When a doctor chooses exercise as part of treatment, it becomes part of therapy, and the same holds for neurofeedback. That is why it is also used in medicine: research and clinical practice report good results in ADHD, specific learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, recovery after stroke or brain injury, the consequences of psychological trauma, and on the autism spectrum. The level of evidence varies from condition to condition. For health conditions, Umo provides training alongside medical supervision, and an individual protocol is designed by Dr Giuseppe Chiarenza, child psychiatrist and neurologist.

When you read that 'more research is needed,' this typically refers to clinical-level evidence. This is extremely difficult to obtain for neurofeedback because it's impossible to conduct the type of studies done for medications - so-called double-blind randomized trials. Even if such studies were possible, they would be financially unjustifiable since this method cannot be patented the way medications are. However, direct clinical experience and the proven physiological mechanisms underlying the method are sufficient for it to be used within medicine.
