Neurofeedback for ADHD: Training the Brain to Focus

By Dr. Sotirios Douklias • Published 2025-01-15

Neurofeedback is an EEG-guided method that teaches the brain to self-regulate. During a session, sensors measure brain activity and provide real‑time feedback—usually visual or auditory—so clients can learn how to shift into more balanced, attentive states. For ADHD, we target patterns associated with distractibility and impulsivity, helping the brain practice sustained focus.

Why does it work? The brain learns through reinforcement. When your brain produces helpful patterns—like steady attention—you receive a reward (a brighter screen, a pleasant tone, or game progress). Over repeated sessions, your brain prefers those patterns, and attention becomes easier in everyday life.

At The Brain Hacking Lab in Nicosia, we combine neurofeedback with mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and when appropriate, light neuromodulation (tDCS/PBM) to accelerate gains. Families appreciate that neurofeedback is non‑invasive and drug‑free, and children often find the training engaging.

Who benefits? Clients with ADHD, focus issues, emotional dysregulation, or sleep problems. Typical programs run 20–40 sessions, 1–2 times per week, with measurable improvements in attention, task completion, and calm.
