Schedule Consultation View Rates & Insurance

Synchrony neurofeedback trains coordination between brain networks — enhancing self-awareness, calm, resilience, and focus.

Synchrony Neurofeedback is designed to strengthen communication between different regions of the brain after healthy nervous system regulation has already begun through ILF Neurofeedback.

Rather than targeting a single brain region, Synchrony training encourages different brain networks to communicate more efficiently, promoting greater emotional stability, cognitive flexibility, resilience, and overall self-regulation.

Synchrony Neurofeedback — Sil Machado, Ph.D.

Depending on the individual's needs, Synchrony may be trained using Infra-Low, Alpha, or Gamma frequencies. Each approach supports different aspects of brain function and is carefully selected as part of an individualized treatment plan.

In my practice, Synchrony Neurofeedback is typically integrated into a broader neurofeedback program after foundational nervous system stability has been established.

Synchrony neurofeedback supporting brain network communication

How Synchrony Neurofeedback Works

The brain functions through communication between many interconnected regions rather than isolated areas working alone.

When communication between these networks becomes less efficient, people may experience difficulties with emotional regulation, attention, resilience, executive functioning, or adapting to stress.

Synchrony Neurofeedback helps strengthen communication across these brain networks, encouraging greater integration and more efficient information processing.

Rather than teaching one isolated skill, Synchrony supports the brain's overall ability to coordinate multiple systems at once.

The goal is greater communication between brain networks—not simply changing one brainwave.

Different Types of Synchrony Training

Infra-Low Synchrony

Supports nervous system regulation, grounding, emotional stability, and resilience.

Alpha Synchrony

Encourages relaxation, self-awareness, creativity, and emotional integration.

Gamma Synchrony

Supports attention, cognitive performance, learning, executive functioning, and sustained focus.

The appropriate Synchrony protocol is determined through clinical assessment rather than selected by the client.

Building Upon a Stable Foundation

Synchrony Neurofeedback is often introduced after ILF Neurofeedback has helped establish greater nervous system regulation.

Once the brain has developed more stability, Synchrony training can strengthen communication between different brain regions and support higher-level cognitive and emotional functioning.

This layered approach allows treatment to progress naturally according to each person's nervous system and therapeutic goals.

ILF

Foundation for nervous system regulation.

Synchrony

Strengthens communication between brain networks.

The Science Behind Synchrony Neurofeedback

Synchrony Neurofeedback builds upon principles of neuroplasticity and brain network connectivity.

By encouraging healthier communication across multiple regions of the brain, Synchrony aims to support improvements in regulation, cognition, emotional resilience, and adaptive functioning.

Like all neurofeedback approaches, treatment is individualized and adjusted throughout the therapeutic process.
