Understanding the technology
What Is LORETA Neurofeedback?
LORETA Neurofeedback (Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography Analysis) is an advanced brain-training technology that maps and trains brain activity in three dimensions. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, LORETA can examine deeper brain regions and the networks that connect them.
-
01
Brain Mapping
Sensors measure brainwave activity while LORETA software creates a detailed 3D map of brain function.
-
02
Real-Time Feedback
The system compares activity with reference patterns and provides visual or auditory feedback that guides the brain toward balance.
-
03
Self-Regulation
With practice, the brain learns more efficient patterns that may support focus, calmness, and emotional regulation.

Personalized brain-based care
Why Do We Use Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is used to help the brain practice more efficient and adaptive patterns of activity. Often described as “exercise for the brain,” it may support focus, emotional regulation, relaxation, and overall self-regulation. Because LORETA works with interconnected brain networks, training can be personalized to the client’s assessment, needs, and goals.
- Attention & focus
- Emotional regulation
- Relaxation & sleep
- Adaptive self-regulation
From measurement to feedback
The Neurofeedback Process
How a Session Works
- Comfortable sensors record the brain’s electrical activity. The sensors listen to brain activity; they do not deliver electrical current.
- LORETA software calculates activity across multiple brain regions and connected networks.
- The system compares measured activity with an age-appropriate reference database to help guide individualized training.
- The client receives real-time visual or auditory feedback while watching content or completing an activity.
- Repeated feedback helps the brain practice and reinforce more regulated patterns over time.
Every treatment plan is individualized. Suitability, goals, and the recommended number of sessions are discussed with the clinical team.

Classic Neurofeedback
Classic neurofeedback uses scalp sensors to measure EEG brainwave activity and provide real-time visual or auditory feedback. With practice, clients learn to recognize and regulate their brain activity more effectively.
Training is personalized to the client’s assessment, needs, and goals, with sessions designed to support attention, emotional regulation, stress management, and sleep.
Core Benefits
- Supports attention, focus, and self-regulation
- Non-invasive and medication-free
- Builds skills through repeated brain training
Emotional & Behavioural
- Encourages calmer stress responses
- May reduce worry and emotional reactivity
- Supports mood and behavioural regulation
Physical & Wellness
- May support healthier sleep patterns
- Can complement headache or migraine care
- May support overall nervous-system regulation
Neurofeedback outcomes vary by individual. It is not a substitute for medical assessment, diagnosis, or prescribed treatment.
Personalized brain-based support
Who Can Neurofeedback Benefit?
Neurofeedback may support children, teens, and adults experiencing challenges with attention, regulation, stress, learning, sleep, and emotional well-being. Every care plan is guided by each person's individual needs.
01Autism Spectrum Disorder
For autistic individuals, neurofeedback may help support regulation, connection, attention, and flexible thinking.
- Supports social engagement and communication
- Encourages adaptive and flexible responses
- May reduce sensory and emotional overwhelm
02ADD & Attention Challenges
Neurofeedback trains the brain networks involved in sustained attention, organization, and executive functioning.
- Builds more consistent mental focus
- May reduce daydreaming and inattention
- Supports organization and follow-through
03Trauma & PTSD
Neurofeedback may help retrain nervous-system patterns linked with hypervigilance, intrusive memories, and survival responses.
- Supports calmer stress responses
- May reduce hypervigilance and reactivity
- Encourages a greater sense of safety
04ADHD
Neurofeedback may help balance patterns connected to restlessness, impulsivity, attention, and self-control.
- Supports attention span and working memory
- Strengthens impulse control and regulation
- Encourages task completion and consistency
05Anxiety
Neurofeedback may support the brain in shifting from persistent fight-or-flight activation toward steadier regulation.
- May reduce worry and rumination
- Supports relaxation and restorative sleep
- Encourages calm and confidence
06Depression & Mood
Neurofeedback may support brain patterns associated with motivation, emotional balance, energy, and resilience.
- Encourages healthier mood regulation
- Supports motivation and mental energy
- May improve sleep and daily functioning

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about LORETA Neurofeedback, what sessions involve, and how care is personalized at Touch Brain Counselor.
Is LORETA Neurofeedback safe?
LORETA Neurofeedback is non-invasive and does not deliver medication. Before treatment, our team reviews suitability, explains the process, and monitors each client’s response throughout care.
What does a session feel like?
Sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity while the client receives visual or auditory feedback. Sessions are generally comfortable and require no needles or electrical stimulation.
Who is LORETA Neurofeedback for?
It may be considered for children, youth, and adults seeking support with attention, emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, sleep, or other functional goals. Suitability is determined individually.
How is it different from traditional neurofeedback?
Traditional neurofeedback often trains activity measured at surface locations. LORETA uses advanced analysis to examine and train activity across interconnected brain regions in three dimensions.
How many sessions are recommended?
The number of sessions varies based on the assessment, goals, age, response, and treatment plan. Your clinician will discuss recommendations and review progress with you over time.
Are the results long-lasting?
Neurofeedback is intended to support the brain’s capacity for self-regulation. Outcomes and duration vary by individual, and your clinician may recommend complementary strategies to support continued progress.
