Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Neurofeedback is part of biofeedback and is also known as EEG feedback or EEG biofeedback. It involves measuring and influencing brain activity. This form of therapy is used for children, adolescents and adults when attention deficits in everyday life cause problems of various kinds and learning blocks occur. Good results can also be achieved with this form of therapy for burnout patients, sleep disorders, frequent headaches or depression. In the case of AD(H)S sufferers in particular, investigations and studies on brain waves have revealed significant differences compared to non-conspicuous test subjects. In these cases, the brain waves can be positively influenced by neurofeedback. Neurofeedback training is therefore an interesting addition to the services offered by many therapists.

During the therapy session, the client's brain waves are measured by connecting them to an EEG (brain wave image). The brain waves and brain activity can then be seen and heard on a computer. The clients are then shown films or computer games where a task has to be completed. As soon as the computer measures the desired frequencies, the movie or game continues. Both are controlled solely by the brain waves. This interaction leads to good training results which have a positive effect on thinking, concentration, perception and endurance.

Basically, it can be said that therapists who acquire the skills to offer this form of therapy professionally during neurofeedback training can achieve sustainable and long-term success with their clients without medication. Children and adolescents in particular respond very well to neurofeedback, as they develop a high level of intrinsic motivation through interaction with film and play. It can therefore be said that neurofeedback is an ideal addition to many therapy practices.

Questions and answers

Neurofeedback is a part of biofeedback. Biofeedback refers to everything that can be measured via current curves in the body, i.e. muscle tension, breathing or other characteristics. In neurofeedback training, you learn how to measure the current curves of the brain.

A reputable neurofeedback training course lasts around two years. Of course, this also depends on the form of teaching, the number of hours per week and other training-specific features. Ask the school of your choice about these criteria and also keep an eye on the course content.

Neurofeedback training provides in-depth knowledge from various specialist areas that are necessary for the practical application of this method. The content may vary depending on the provider and focus of the training. As a rule, the following topics are included:

  • Fundamentals of neurophysiology: imparting knowledge about the nervous system, brain waves and their functions
  • EEG diagnostics: Introduction to the application and evaluation of electroencephalography data
  • Neurofeedback protocols: creation of individual training plans and their adaptation during the course of treatment
  • Areas of application and indications: Possible applications for ADHD, sleep disorders, anxiety disorders and other psychological or neurological complaints
  • Technology and software: handling neurofeedback systems, practical training with special software
  • Ethics and limits of the method: legal framework, contraindications and differentiation from other forms of therapy

Neurofeedback combines scientific principles with practical application. The training prepares students for professional use in therapy, counseling or education.

As the specific course content is determined by the respective educational institution, there may be differences. It is recommended that you contact the school or provider directly to find out the exact content. Use our contact form to send an inquiry directly to the desired school
