What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback represents the evolution of brain optimization—a scientifically‒validated method that harnesses your brain's natural neuroplasticity to improve mental function. At Vital Brain Health, we've pioneered what we call Neurofeedback 3.0, representing an integrated multi‒modal training approach that combines the best elements from all available methods and technologies.
Neurofeedback 3.0 is an integrated multi‒modal training unlike traditional approaches that rely on single methods, our Neurofeedback 3.0 represents a comprehensive meta‒strategy that strategically combines multiple analysis methods—including AI‒based analysis, network connectivity assessment, normative database comparisons, and symptom tracking—to create a complete picture of each client's unique brain patterns. We then strategically select from over 20 different neurofeedback techniques to design truly personalized protocols.
To understand neurofeedback, imagine your brain as an elegant 19‒room mansion. Each room specializes in different mental functions: your executive office (decision‒making), memory library (storing experiences), attention control room (focus), emotional processing suite (managing feelings), and 15 other specialized areas. These rooms communicate through neural hallways and a sophisticated 5‒channel intercom system representing different brainwave frequencies.
Our Neurofeedback 3.0 approach helps clients of all ages become skilled mansion managers, teaching their brains to optimize communication systems across all channels. We serve approximately 50% children and 50% adults.
Conditions Neurofeedback Can Help Support
At Vital Brain, we believe in supporting your care with a comprehensive array of services to help you live a better life. People seek neurofeedback for a range of reasons. We support people who may be experiencing any of the following:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is advanced brain training that helps optimize your brain's natural function through real-time feedback. Think of your brain as a sophisticated 19-room mansion where each room handles different functions—memory, attention, emotions, language. Neurofeedback teaches these rooms to communicate more effectively, resulting in improved focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance without medication.
How does neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback works by helping your brain's different "rooms" communicate more effectively through their shared frequency channels—like ensuring walkie-talkies are tuned to the same channel so they can work together. We use advanced EEG sensors to monitor how well your brain's rooms are coordinating, then provide real-time visual feedback when they achieve optimal synchronization. As the rooms get rewarded for tuning to the same channel, they trigger new nerve connections that grow during sleep, allowing them to stay in tune longer and better the next time. This process harnesses neuroplasticity—your brain's ability to rewire itself—creating lasting improvements in attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance.
What is a typical brain training neurofeedback session?
A typical Neurofeedback 3.0 session at Vital Brain Health lasts 15-30 minutes and offers a uniquely engaging experience. In our office, you'll relax in zero gravity chairs while your brain controls how clear your favorite shows appear on 70-inch TVs. For home training, you'll use our custom cap with gold-plated sensors connected to your phone or tablet. Our extremely effective forms of neurofeedback require shorter sessions than weaker training methods, maximizing your results in minimal time.
How is Vital Brain Health neurofeedback different from other neurofeedback practices?
Vital Brain Health stands apart as Los Angeles' premier evidence-based neurofeedback center through our Neurofeedback 3.0 approach—an integrated multi-modal training system that represents a comprehensive meta-strategy pulling from many forms of analysis and neurofeedback tools. While other practices use basic single-method training, we strategically combine multiple analysis methods including AI-based analysis, network connectivity assessment, normative database comparisons, and symptom tracking to create the most personalized and effective training for each individual. When standard treatments and budget neurofeedback options have failed, discerning families and individuals choose us for results-driven, scientifically-validated training.
