Question 1

What is neurofeedback?

Accepted Answer

Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive method where your brain learns to improve its own activity by watching real-time feedback. It's like a mirror for your brain - when your brainwaves are in the optimal range, you receive positive feedback through video or audio.

Question 2

How does home neurofeedback training work?

Accepted Answer

With Umo, you receive the equipment at home: a tablet on which you watch a video, the Umo device and a cable with small electrodes that stick to the head with conductive cream. During training sessions, you watch the video while the electrodes read your brain activity. A trainer monitors your brain activity remotely and adjusts protocols as needed. The brain naturally learns to produce more beneficial patterns.

Question 3

Is neurofeedback safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, neurofeedback is completely safe and non-invasive. It simply reads your brain's electrical activity - nothing is sent into your brain. It has been used for over 60 years with extensive research backing its effectiveness.

Question 4

How many sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Packages last 30, 60 or 150 days with unlimited training. Each session lasts 15 to 30 minutes. 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.
