Did you know that your brain is truly capable of transformation? For a long time, it was believed that the brain could not change in adulthood. Today, we know that this is not true. Our brain remains flexible—throughout our entire lives. This amazing phenomenon is called neuroplasticity.
What´s Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity describes the brain's ability to change through experiences, impressions, and targeted training. This affects both the structure and function of nerve cells and their connections.
A simple illustration of this:
Imagine the brain as a garden. The nerve pathways are the paths between the plants. The more often you walk along a path, the more visible it becomes. Paths that are rarely used eventually become overgrown again.
It works similarly in the mind: what we do or think often becomes more firmly anchored. New connections are formed, and old connections become weaker when we no longer need them.
How do we learn through Neuroplasticity?
Whether learning a language, riding a bike, or consciously relaxing—every time we practice something new, our neural networks change. The brain adapts, creates more efficient connections, and becomes “better” at what we teach it.
What does that mean for everyday life?
Neuroplasticity shows us that it is never too late to learn something new or make changes. Even if old habits feel ingrained, our brains remain capable of learning.
Important:
-
Regularity:Repetition strengthens new connections.
-
Patience: New pathways in the brain do not develop overnight.
-
Awareness: The more attentive we are to something, the better the brain stores it.
And what does it have to do with Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback utilizes precisely this mechanism. Through targeted training, the brain learns to achieve certain states—such as greater calmness, increased focus, or improved stress regulation—more frequently. And thanks to neuroplasticity, this learning is retained.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about Neurofeedback
What does a neurofeedback session feel like?
Completely relaxed. You don't feel the sensors or the measurement. Many people find the sessions soothing—almost like a mental break that allows the mind to rest. Some experience the session as intense and are tired afterwards.
How many sessions do I need until something starts to change?
Initial changes often become apparent after 5–8 sessions. For a stable effect, 20–30 sessions are usually recommended, depending on the goal and initial situation.
Is Neurofeedback covered by public health insurance?
Currently, statutory health insurance companies do not usually cover the costs. Some private insurance companies reimburse a portion of the costs. We would be happy to advise you individually on the options available.
Is neurofeedback also suitable for highly sensitive people?
Yes. People who are easily overwhelmed by stimuli often benefit particularly, because the training calms stimulus processing and strengthens inner balance—without sensory overload.
Can neurofeedback replace medication?
Neurofeedback can be an alternative or supplement for ADHD or sleep problems. You and your doctor will decide together whether and when medication can be reduced.
Is there an age limit?
We generally work with children aged 6 and above. There is no upper age limit – older adults often benefit significantly too, for example with sleep problems or mental exhaustion.
