Brain Training & Therapies
Change your Brain, Change your life!
The discovery that our thoughts and actions can change the structure and function of our brains, even into old age, is perhaps the most important breakthrough in neuroscience in over 400 years.
This ability of our brain to change and rewire itself, as a result of what we do, is called “Neuroplasticity.” It is our understanding of this natural and life-long ability that is driving a revolution in brain-based therapies.
Perth Brain Centre has led a pioneering approach to health and well-being for over 15 years. We use advanced QEEG Brain Scan Mapping to accurately assess how your brain is working and to guide a range of brain-based, drug-free and effective therapies based on your personal needs.
Neurofeedback
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback helps people to strengthen, rewire and optimise their own brain by training brainwaves, the tiny electrical signals naturally produced by the brain.
During Neurofeedback, people sit with small sensors on the head that precisely detect brainwave activity. This information is analysed in real-time and presented as audio and video feedback using a computer, allowing the person to improve their brain function through a process known as “conditioning”, a type of learning.
Neurofeedback at Perth Brain Centre is guided by special scans known as QEEG Brain Mapping. These scans are safe and non-invasive, making them suitable tests for people of almost any age. The information from QEEG Brain Maps allows for more personalised care and better, faster results.
Who can benefit from Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is suitable for people of almost any age, from young children to the elderly. Research indicates Neurofeedback is an effective therapy for many conditions, including (but not limited to) ADHD, anxiety (and anxiety-related disorders), PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and depression.
Research also shows that Neurofeedback can be helpful for Autistic people and also for (but not limited to) concussion, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, insomnia, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and also for those wishing to optimise their performance.
It is the clinical effectiveness, drug-free approach, excellent safety profile and lasting results that make Neurofeedback very appealing to many people.
Neurofeedback at Perth Brain Centre
There is no substitute for experience, and we have helped West Australians get the best and fastest results from Neurofeedback for over 15 years. We know what works.
After the Initial Assessment, most people will find they benefit from a program of 20 sessions (2 Rounds) of Neurofeedback, with training usually scheduled twice per week. Round 1 consists of 10 sessions with a repeat QEEG Brain Scan to track progress and fine-tune your program, before going on to complete Round 2 of training.
After this, we arrange your follow-up QEEG Brain Scan and Clinical Review, which allows us to assess your overall progress and ensure your results are supported in the long-term. Please remember that in some complex cases, people may choose to continue past 20 sessions as they pursue additional gains.
Biofeedback
What is Biofeedback?
Biofeedback helps people to strengthen, rewire and optimise how their body responds to stress.
During Biofeedback, special sensors detect small signals from the body, such as breathing, heart rate, heart rate variability, muscle tension, sweat responses and temperature. Sophisticated technology provides real-time feedback, and with one-to-one training, people can learn to gain greater awareness and control. After a few weeks of regular practice, long-term improvements can be maintained without needing to use sensors or equipment.
Biofeedback at Perth Brain Centre can be guided by special scans known as QEEG Brain Mapping. These scans are safe and non-invasive, making them suitable tests for people of almost any age. The information from QEEG Brain Maps allows for more personalised care and better, faster results.
Who can benefit from Biofeedback?
Biofeedback is suitable for people of almost any age. The Armed Forces, Emergency Services, NASA and many top athletes and sports teams around the world have been using Biofeedback for years to improve performance. Research shows that Biofeedback Training can also help people with a range of problems, including (but not limited to) anxiety and anxiety-related disorders, chronic pain, depression, Fibromyalgia, headaches, hypertension (high blood pressure), insomnia and PTSD.
It is the clinical effectiveness, drug-free approach, excellent safety profile and lasting results that make Biofeedback very appealing to many people.
Biofeedback at Perth Brain Centre
There is no substitute for experience, and we have helped West Australians get the best and fastest results from Biofeedback for over 15 years. We know what works.
After the Initial Assessment, most people will find they benefit from a program of 4 sessions with training scheduled once per week. Regular practice at home is essential, and we recommend people do at least 20 minutes of practice every day during their program for optimal results.
After the completion of your program, we arrange your follow-up QEEG Brain Scan and Clinical Review, which allows us to assess your overall progress and ensure your results are supported in the long-term. Please remember that in some complex cases, people may choose to continue past 4 sessions as they pursue additional gains.
tDCS
What is tDCS?
Trans-Cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) helps people to strengthen, rewire and optimise their own brain by using a small electric current to gently stimulate the brain.
During sessions, people sit comfortably whilst small sponge electrodes are positioned over specific areas of the brain. The soft electrodes are held gently in place using straps and deliver a small direct electric current to the underlying brain. Treatment is safe, with most people simply feeling a mild “tingling” sensation during the session.
tDCS at Perth Brain Centre is guided by special scans known as QEEG Brain Mapping. These scans are safe and non-invasive, making them suitable tests for people of almost any age. The information from QEEG Brain Maps allows for more personalised care and better, faster results.
Who can benefit from tDCS?
Research shows that tDCS is safe and suitable for people of almost any age. Studies indicate that tDCS is effective for people with depression, and there is evidence it can also help with other conditions, including (but not limited to) addiction, Alzheimer’s Disease, chronic pain, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, migraine, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and stroke.
Whilst most people choose in-clinic sessions, we are pleased to be able to offer tDCS also as a home-based program for added convenience in suitable cases.
It is the clinical effectiveness, drug-free approach, excellent safety profile and lasting results that make tDCS very appealing to many people.

There is no substitute for experience, and we have helped West Australians get the best and fastest results from tDCS for over 15 years. We know what works.
After an Initial Assessment, and depending upon the case, most people will find they benefit from a program of either 10 or 20 sessions (1 or 2 Rounds) of tDCS, with training scheduled 5 days per week.
After the completion of your program, we arrange your follow-up QEEG Brain Scan and Clinical Review, which allows us to assess your overall progress and ensure your results are supported in the long-term.
Please remember that in some complex cases, people may choose to continue past 20 sessions as they pursue additional gains.
