F.A.Q.
Got Questions? We have answers.
What can I expect?
MCN is safe and painless. While seated, five lightweight EEG electrodes will be placed at different areas on your head and neck. The areas will first be cleaned and a conductive paste is applied to hold the electrodes in place. The position of electrodes may vary through the course of treatment and in subsequent sessions.
Do you work with children?
Yes! We love working with children and families. Parents often find great benefits to using MCN for their children. We just need the child to be able to sit still for 5-10 minutes. This is often accomplished with the help of parents, toys, snacks and of course the good old iPhone.
What can I do to prepare for my session?
Please make sure to drink plenty of water during the day of your session - we really like the half your weight in ounces rule! Please have a meal and refrain from consuming any alcohol, recreational substances or over-the-counter drugs that may make you sleepy.
Do you use Active Neurofeedback or Passive Neurofeedback?
We use the newest technology in neurofeedback, Passive Neurofeedback. Passive Neurofeedback requires zero effort from you, no screens, no headphones and all in much shorter durations than active or traditional neurofeedback. Sit back, relax, or chat with your provider and before your know it you’ve completed your session.
Will it hurt?
The majority of individuals won’t notice anything. Some feel a slight sensation but certainly no pain. In fact, the majority of our clients feel a sense of calm and relaxation during their session.
Is MCN safe?
Micro-current neurofeedback is extremely safe. MCN employs a small, lightweight and portable FDA registered EEG amplifier that transmits signals that are about 1/300th of a cell phone and can last for as little as 1/100th of a second. With over 100,000 clients experiencing MCN over the last decade, there have been no reports of undesirable effects. MCN is safe for children, adolescents, and adults.
Do I need a diagnosis to use MCN?
No. Taking care of your nervous system does not require a diagnosis. In fact many of our clients are high achieving students and professionals who come to us to reap the benefits of this neuro-hacking modality that helps them become more resilient to stress, less anxious, more focused and improve their quality of sleep.
What can MCN help with?
MCN has been reported by clients as helpful with the following:
Relaxation, Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances, Memory Challenges, Memory Disorders, Learning Disorders, Headaches, Migraines, Psychological Disorders, PTSD & Trauma Symptoms, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), ADHD, Autism, Emotional Regulation, Anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Depression, Epilepsy, Stress Management, Fibromyalgia, Peak Performance, Mental Focus and Clarity to name a few. If you’re still not sure if MCN is right for you, reach out to us and we’ll be happy help.
How many sessions will I need?
We recommend a minimum of 12 sessions to meet your goals and experience lasting results. While there is no way to pinpoint the exact number of sessions one might need we can tell you from experience that the more severe, complex or longterm the condition, the more sessions one might need to meet their goals. The majority of individuals will notice significant change within their first 12 sessions.
