Since the 1950s, the biofeedback method has proven to be effective in supporting individuals with autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction. Today, neurofeedback takes a step further:
Instead of measuring muscle tension or breathing, EEG sensors capture brainwave activity in real-time. Every action – whether thinking, meditating, moving, or relaxing – is made visible or audible through software.

Eveline Goodman explains in her presentation what this is useful for and how it could increasingly accompany more people in their everyday lives.
“This medication-free training method is suitable for people of all ages – whether for mental recovery after work, university, or school, to support coaching or therapy, or simply to enhance stress resilience,” she shares from her daily practice.

With deep trust in the potential of this method, Goodman founded the Neurofeedback Center Grunewald during the COVID crisis in 2020. There, she trains individuals with ADHD, autism, anxiety disorders, trauma, or chronic stress together with her team.
“Whether the triggers are media consumption, work pressure, or personal burdens – neurofeedback can help train the brain purposefully. This way, well-being can be shaped independently of external circumstances,” she says about her nearly patented training method, which she applies regularly herself.

One to two neurofeedback sessions per week are ideal to sustainably improve difficulties such as impulsivity, concentration problems, or sleep disturbances. Even during the preparatory exercises – e.g., on motor devices – the brain is tuned for the training phase. Once the sensors are connected, every brain activity can be followed live.

“During neurofeedback, we observe our own brain waves – and learn to use our brains differently,” explains Goodman. In her experience, many people discover that even simple breathing techniques or consciously directing thoughts can have noticeable effects. The visualization on the screen or the acoustic feedback through tones or music supports the brain in developing and strengthening new patterns purposefully.

Neurofeedback training is individual – no 'one size fits all'.
Depending on the issue, different training forms are used. ADHD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, autism, or sleep problems are often accompanied by the so-called theta-beta training, which specifically strengthens slow brainwaves (Theta, 4–8 Hz) to promote attention and self-regulation.

In contrast, alpha and beta training (8–14 Hz) can help stabilize the brain in an active waking state when dealing with learning or concentration problems.
“Neurofeedback compensates for neuronal imbalances and specifically supports the desired brainwave frequencies,” says Goodman.

The key is the right selection – and experience.
Depending on the objectives, Goodman uses alpha training, SMR training, sensorimotor resonance training, EMG biofeedback, or slow cortical potentials (SCP), among others. For her own method, which is currently in the patenting process, she receives state innovation funding.

Although neurofeedback does not replace medical treatment – it offers individuals a highly effective way to learn new neuronal states and develop their thought processes purposefully.
