So What’s This Neurofeedback All About, Anyway?

Neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback that helps individuals regulate their brainwave activity, has been around for more than 60 years. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, researchers began experimenting with the idea that people could learn to influence their own brainwaves.

By 1969, doctoral candidate Penny Montgomery was already working with one of the first biofeedback machines at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. These early experiments opened the door to an entirely new way of approaching brain health.

Fast forward to 1993, when Dr. Len Ochs created LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System). By delivering a tiny pulse of energy, this system helped the brain shift away from rigid, unhelpful patterns—allowing for new, healthier connections to form.

Here’s where things get even more exciting. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, which “trains” the brain to behave in a certain way, IASIS MCN gently disentrains it.

It does this through a brief micro-stimulation that creates temporary fluctuations in brainwaves. This allows the brain to let go of frozen, dysfunctional patterns—like rebooting a computer. The result? A nervous system that feels calmer, clearer, and more balanced.

As a nurse, nurse educator and later an international schoolteacher, I’ve seen firsthand how stress, trauma, and constant pressure can lock the brain into survival mode. IASIS MCN is a way to help the brain reset—to remind it that it doesn’t have to stay stuck in those unhealthy loops.

So many of us carry stress or trauma that keeps our brains in “overdrive.” This can look like:

• Anxiety that never seems to switch off
• PTSD or lingering effects of trauma
• Brain fog after mild or moderate head injuries
• Sleep struggles or memory issues
• The pressure of test anxiety, athletic performance, or even day-to-day life stress

What makes IASIS remarkable is how quickly people notice a shift. More than 85% of clients report meaningful, lasting improvements—often within the first few sessions.

I’ve experienced it myself. After decades of working in high-stress environments, moving across countries, and juggling multiple roles, I reached a point where anxiety began to take over my life. Traditional methods weren’t working. IASIS MCN gave me the reset my nervous system desperately needed. It’s why I now dedicate my work to sharing this technology with others.

IASIS MCN uses an FDA-registered EEG amplifier. The energy it delivers is tiny—just 3 picowatts (about 1/300th of what comes off your cell phone) and lasting only 1/100th of a second.

With over 100,000 users worldwide, there have been zero reported undesirable side effects. That’s one of the reasons I feel so confident recommending it to my clients, whether they are students, professionals, athletes, or anyone simply wanting to feel more like themselves again.

At Galenoia Brain Wellness, I use IASIS MCN to help people step out of stress and into calm. Because with calm comes clarity — and with clarity, anything is possible.
