Frequency Asked Questions
​

What is Neurofeedback?
​Neurofeedback is a gentle brain training that uses real-time feedback to help your brain shift out of stress and into a healthier, more balanced state. It's non invasive and supports nature self-regulation.

What is the difference between EEG and IASIS MCN?
​An EEG is a medical test that records brain activity and is interpreted by a neurologist to help diagnose neurological conditions, such as seizures.
With IASIS MCN, we are not diagnosing anything. Instead, we gently support the brain's natural ability to self correct and regulate. Think of it less as "reading the brain" and more as helping the brain reset and function more efficiently over time. 

​How soon will I notice changes?
​Some people notice positive shifts after a few sessions, while others see gradual improvements over time. Every brain is unique, but most experience benefits within several weeks.

​Who can benefit?
​Neurofeedback is for anyone wanting to feel calmer, think more clearly, or improve focus. It's helpful for adults, teens, and children whether you're managing stress, recovering from trauma, or aiming to perform better.

​How does IASIS MCN different from Traditional Neurofeedback?
In traditional neurofeedback, information from your brainwaves is transmitted to a computer screen. Patients attempt to train their brainwaves by mentally manipulating events on the screen. No signal is transmitted back to the brain. This kind of neurofeedback typically requires 40+ sessions, with a typical session lasting 45 minutes to an hour.
With Micro Current Neurofeedback clients don’t do anything other than sit still for a few moments. A brief, tiny pulse transmitted feeding back to the brain does all the work. And unlike traditional neurofeedback clients, Micro Current Neurofeedback patients generally notice changes either immediately or within the first few sessions. Fast action, limited number of sessions, and the ease and simplicity of treatment all distinguish Micro Current Neurofeedback from traditional neurofeedback.

How does IASIS MCN work?
Micro Current Neurofeedback uses a very low power (3 pico or 3 trillionths of a watt) electromagnetic field to carry feedback to the person receiving it. The feedback travels down the same wires carrying the brain waves to the amplifier and computer.
Although the Micro Current Neurofeedback signal is weak, it produces a measurable change in the brainwaves without conscious effort from the individual receiving the feedback. This feedback frequency correlates with the dominant brainwave frequency. When exposed to this feedback frequency, the EEG amplitude distribution changes in power. The result is a changed brainwave state and much greater ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself.
Micro Current Neurofeedback is a direct feedback, imperceptible to the patient, and requiring no conscious effort.

What are the common side effects?
In the first few IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback sessions, the patient sometimes experiences temporary fatigue, “light headedness” or a feeling of being “revved up.” Mild headaches also occasionally occur. These symptoms are always temporary, and typically last only a few minutes to a few hours.

Is IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) safe?
Yes, extremely safe. There has not been a single reported case of someone being worse off from being treated with Micro Current Neurofeedback. It can be used for adult, children and pregnant women.

How effective is IASIS MCN?
The success rate is staggering. Over 85% of patients claim by their own assessment that they experience significant, often dramatic, benefits. With traumatic brain injury, clarity begins to return, headaches and migraines diminish. The “fog” begins to lift and cognitive function begins to return. In PTSD, anxiety starts to abate, panic attacks stop, sleep improves and depression lifts. And the changes are enduring. Once enough sessions have been completed, assisting the recipient to get closer, treatment is usually done.

What to expect during consultation?
Initial intake (history, allergies, habits, lifestyles, measure of reactivity, goals)
Set expectations, every brain is different. We don't know how your nervous system will respond, so we set reasonable expectations and goals. Ideally, sessions is twice a week. We are working to achieve enduring sustainability (neuroplasticity).

Does IASIS MCN affect negative patterns? What about positive?
Only frozen, stuck patterns are affected. Healthy, functional brainwave patterns are flexible and resilient. When there is a tiny fluctuation they automatically spring back to their healthy patterns.​

Do I need to stop my medications?
Medication does not diminish the effectiveness of Micro Current Neurofeedback. There is no need to stop or reduce your medication, which should only be done in conjunction with your healthcare provider once Micro Current Neurofeedback treatment is complete.
​
Who can do this treatment? Is it for home use?
Micro Current Neurofeedback is only to be administered to patients by trained doctors, nurses and clinicians. It is not intended for home use. Everybody can benefit from MCN.

I live out of state/outside the United States, can you refer to other IASIS Certified Providers?
