Your Score
0–4 points
Your responses suggest your brain may already be functioning relatively well. Neurofeedback could still be helpful for performance optimization, but it may not feel necessary.
5–9 points
You may experience mild challenges in focus, stress regulation, or sleep. Neurofeedback may help improve resilience, attention, and mental clarity.
10–14 points
Your responses suggest moderate dysregulation in brain or nervous system function. Neurofeedback could be a helpful tool to improve emotional regulation, focus, and nervous system balance.
15–20 points
Your responses suggest significant nervous system or brain regulation challenges. Neurofeedback training may provide meaningful support by helping the brain learn more efficient and balanced patterns of activity.
