Neurofeedback for Young Adults

Brain-based support for Los Angeles young adults navigating attention, anxiety, emotional regulation, sleep, stress, and executive functioning challenges.

Neurofeedback is a noninvasive form of brain training that uses real-time information about brain activity to help the brain practice more regulated patterns.

At Kincove, we begin with a qEEG brain map to better understand your brain activity and how it may relate to what you're experiencing day to day. From there, we create an individualized training plan and track progress through ongoing sessions, updated brain maps, and regular progress reviews.

Neurofeedback can be used on its own or alongside individual therapy and other forms of support.

How Neurofeedback Works

Neurofeedback uses sensors placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity while your brain receives feedback in real time. During training, you may watch a movie, play a game, or complete another activity while the system responds to changes in your brain activity.

There is no electrical stimulation going into the brain. The sensors only measure activity, making sessions noninvasive and easy to participate in.

Neurofeedback Process

Step 1: qEEG Brain Assessment

  • The qEEG brain assessment gives us a detailed picture of your brain activity before training begins.

    We look at patterns across different areas of the brain and consider them alongside your concerns, experiences, and goals.

  • Small sensors are placed on your scalp to record brainwave activity while you complete different parts of the assessment.

    The sensors only measure activity. Nothing is sent into the brain. The recording provides objective information that helps guide your neurofeedback training.

  • The assessment is painless, noninvasive, and typically takes about 30–45 minutes.

    Once the recording is complete, the data is analyzed to create a visual brain map showing patterns of activity across different areas of the brain.

  • We review your results with you and explain what we're seeing in clear, understandable language.

    Your brain map is considered alongside what you're experiencing and what you want to work on to create an individualized neurofeedback training plan.

Step 2: Myndlift Neurofeedback Training

  • Neurofeedback gives your brain repeated opportunities to practice more regulated patterns through real-time feedback.

    Training is informed by your brain map and individual goals rather than using the same protocol for every client.

  • During sessions, sensors monitor your brain activity while you watch a movie, play a game, or complete another activity.

    The Myndlift system responds in real time based on the patterns being trained, giving your brain repeated feedback throughout the session.

  • Sessions are comfortable, noninvasive, and typically last about 20–30 minutes. Neurofeedback does not involve medication or electrical stimulation.

    We generally recommend training 2–3 times per week, although frequency may vary based on your needs and progress.

  • We monitor progress throughout training rather than following the same plan from beginning to end.

    Updated brain maps are typically completed about every six weeks, allowing us to compare brain activity over time and adjust training when appropriate.

Tracking Progress Beyond the Brain Map

Brain data is one part of understanding progress. What you're noticing in everyday life matters too.

Throughout training, we'll check in about changes you may be noticing in areas such as focus, emotional regulation, stress, sleep, organization, and other goals you've identified.

We consider both your brain maps and your real-world experience when evaluating progress and making adjustments to your training plan.

The Science Behind Myndlift

Neurofeedback has been studied across areas including attention, self-regulation, and other cognitive and emotional concerns. Kincove uses Myndlift technology to provide and monitor individualized neurofeedback training.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Neurofeedback may be worth considering if you're struggling with attention, anxiety, emotional regulation, sleep, stress, or executive functioning.

    We begin with a consultation to learn what you're experiencing and determine whether neurofeedback may be an appropriate fit.

  • Neurofeedback is noninvasive and does not send electrical stimulation into the brain. Sensors placed on the scalp measure brainwave activity and provide information used during training.

  • Sessions are generally relaxed. You'll wear sensors while watching a movie, playing a game, or completing another activity as the system responds to your brain activity in real time.

  • We generally recommend 2–3 sessions per week, although frequency may vary depending on your individual training plan and progress.

  • We look at both objective brain data and what you're experiencing in everyday life.

    Updated brain maps allow us to compare patterns over time, while ongoing check-ins help us understand changes you're noticing outside of sessions.

  • Yes. Neurofeedback can be used on its own or alongside individual therapy and other forms of support.
