Bio-Neurofeedback supports the therapy of (behavioral) disorders that can be traced back to a dysregulation of brain functions. Bio-Neurofeedback was discovered in the 1960s at the University of Los Angeles (USA) as part of a research project by the space agency NASA and has been continuously developed since then. Today, Bio-Neurofeedback is considered a drug-free, computer-assisted form of behavior therapy, as well as a proven method for digital mental training.

Bio-Neurofeedback is the feedback of brain activity measured in the EEG (electroencephalography). The EEG signals are transmitted to a computer and converted into audio/visual feedback. This feedback is linked to a computer-controlled reward principle and trains the brain to learn new behavioral strategies. This has a positive effect on states of excitement, concentration and relaxation.

Electroencephalography, or EEG for short, is a neurological diagnostic procedure for recording electrical currents (potential changes) in the brain. These are recorded graphically in the form of brain waves, which represent the aggregated electrical activity of the nerve cells.

Bio-Neurofeedback is used as a digital form of behavioral therapy to improve self-regulation in the brain. By optimizing self-regulation, perception, concentration, attention, sleep and well-being are positively influenced. Negative symptoms such as stress, sleep disorders, headaches, migraines, etc. can be successfully reduced. Bio-Neurofeedback is also suitable for improving mental performance in the areas of school and work.

Originally, Biofeedback is an umbrella term that includes both peripheral Biofeedback and Bio-Neurofeedback (also known as EEG Biofeedback). Peripheral Biofeedback is feedback from body signals that are directly related to the autonomic nervous system (e.g. breathing, muscle tension). Bio-Neurofeedback, on the other hand, is feedback from brain activity, i.e. the central nervous system.

Bio-Neurofeedback is suitable for peak performance training when maximum mental performance is required. Bio-Neurofeedback is now indispensable, especially in top-level sport. Bio-Neurofeedback supports pupils and students in focused attention while preparing for exams. High achievers in the professional, sporting and stage sectors who want to learn how to promote their own mental performance potential and access it precisely will also benefit from Bio-Neurofeedback.

Anyone who decides to undergo Bio-Neurofeedback comes with their own biography, which must be considered individually. Therefore, an exact number of sessions cannot be given in advance. On average, successful Bio-Neurofeedback therapy includes around 20 to 30 sessions.

Bio-Neurofeedback is like a long-term learning process, similar to swimming or cycling. The brain changes its activity patterns in the long term. In extensive studies, the learned effects were clearly demonstrated even after six months.

Many people who come for Bio-Neurofeedback want to reduce their existing medication or to stop taking it altogether. Parents in particular want their children to try out gentle, drug-free forms of therapy before giving them any medication. When starting Bio-Neurofeedback therapy, care should be taken to maintain the dose of the existing medication. No other medication should be taken in addition, nor should it simply be omitted unless it is medically necessary. A change in medication should always be discussed with the treating doctor!

Whether something is unpleasant is a very personal feeling. The vast majority of clients find Bio-Neurofeedback to be a pleasant, relaxing form of therapy.

There is no strict age limit. Currently, school entry is generally considered the minimum age. There is also no maximum age. Older people with declining mental abilities can particularly benefit from Bio-Neurofeedback.

1) Learning phase sessions 1 - 5 (1 - 2 x weekly) --> Reorganization of neuronal structures / networks -->Synapse connection 2) Automation session 6 – 10 (1 – 2 x weekly) -->Trained condition is stabilized -->Improve your own control -->Unstable phases (do not interrupt training) 3) Stabilization session 11 – 20 (1 x weekly) -->Longer stable phases -->Better sleep -->Clarity / focus increased 4) Performance improvement session 21 – 30 (1 x every 2 – 3 weeks) -->Stable autoregulation and flexibility achieved -->Willful retrieval of clarity and focus -->Increase in mental performance possible

Biofeedback is a method in which people learn to consciously control bodily responses, such as breathing or muscle tension. Sensors measure these physiological signals and display them on a screen, allowing the person to learn to regulate their responses to reduce stress or improve performance.

Capnography is a medical technique that measures the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the breath. It is used to monitor breathing.

The Capno Trainer is a Biofeedback-assisted breathing training device that uses capnography to measure the carbon dioxide concentration in the air we breathe. It helps to optimize breathing patterns and reduce stress.

The Capno Trainer is used to improve breathing technique, manage stress, increase performance and treat breathing disorders such as hyperventilation or anxiety disorders.

The combination of Bio-Neurofeedback and Biofeedback enables comprehensive self-regulation of brain activity and physiological functions. This can reduce stress, increase concentration and improve emotional health.

IHHT (Interval Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy) is a non-invasive method that aims to improve health and performance through controlled breathing exercises. IHHT involves alternating the oxygen supply between low (hypoxia) and high (hyperoxia) oxygen concentrations in intervals. This method simulates the conditions that prevail at high altitudes and activates cellular adaptation mechanisms.

IHHT (Interval Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy) works by alternating between periods of low (hypoxia) and high (hyperoxia) oxygen concentration. The client breathes through a mask connected to a device that regulates the amount of oxygen. Hypoxia periods simulate high altitude conditions and activate cellular adaptation mechanisms that improve mitochondrial function and increase cellular energy production. Hyperoxia periods promote recovery.

IHHT (interval hypoxia-hyperoxia therapy) is used to improve cell health and metabolism. It is used in rehabilitation, in the treatment of chronic diseases, to increase athletic performance and for general health promotion.

Yes, IHHT is suitable for improving mental performance at work and in sports. It improves oxygen supply and cell function, which promotes concentration, cognitive performance and endurance and accelerates recovery.

The number of IHHT treatments needed varies depending on individual goals and health status. Typically, 10-20 sessions spread over several weeks are required to achieve noticeable results.

The effects of IHHT therapy can last for several months, but vary depending on individual health and lifestyle. Regular booster sessions can help prolong the positive effects.

Yes, one can start IHHT even while taking medication. However, it is important to consult a doctor beforehand to avoid potential interactions or risks.

IHHT treatments are usually neither painful nor unpleasant. They consist of alternating phases of oxygen supply and oxygen deficiency, which are well tolerated. Some people experience slight tiredness or dizziness.

IHHT is generally suitable for adults and older adolescents. It is usually recommended from around the age of 16, depending on individual health and under medical supervision.

The costs for IHHT are not covered by health insurance companies.

The 2019 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to William Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter Ratcliffe and Gregg Semenza for their discovery of the molecular mechanisms of cellular response to oxygen deficiency.

A therapy session lasts 1 hour.

A Bio-Neurofeedback and Biofeedback therapy session costs CHF 120.00. One IHHT therapy hour costs CHF 100.00

The therapy sessions will be invoiced or can be paid via TWINT.

If you are unable to keep an agreed appointment, you must cancel it at least 24 hours in advance. If you do not do so, you will be charged the full amount.

A companion is welcome to come along to therapy.

I recommend comfortable clothing that doesn't constrict.
