That we are now using NeuroGen HPN as our primary intervention strategy. A perfect solution for those experiencing cognitive difficulties, such as ADD/ADHD, learning disorders, OCD, even PTSD and TBI.

NEUROGEN focuses on the root of the problems – NOT the symptoms.
NeuroGen HPN is a type of neurofeedback which uses Microcurrents to optimize the brain to function in a more balanced and healthful way. MCN has proven to be helpful to sufferers of many neurological conditions including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, insomnia and many more.
Unlike traditional neurofeedback, where the participant has to participate, NeuroGen HPN is completely passive and the computer does all of the work. This is a great alternative to neurodevelopmental exercises and home programs when compliance is low.

How Does neurogen HPN work?
High Performance Neurofeedback (HPN) is a non-invasive, state-of-the-art method for optimizing the brain to function in a more balanced and healthful way. NeuroGen HPN uses microcurrents to correct brain imbalances, which have proven to be helpful to sufferers of many neurological conditions including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, migraines, PTSD, ADHD and many more.
The brain is a bioelectrical system. Every thought, sensation and emotion are brought about by the electrical firing of neurons in the brain. The cumulative effect of millions of neurons firing produces brain waves.
After decades of studies, healthy brain wave patterns have been documented.
Healthy brain wave patterns are balanced and predictable. A healthy, balanced and properly regulated brain will produce the appropriate brain waves at the appropriate times. These healthy patterns are referred to as Neural Regulation.
Neural Dysregulation occurs when the brain and nervous system are injured or stressed. Brain wave patterns become unhealthy and imbalanced. This Neural Dysregulation results in a wide range of conditions including depression, chronic pain, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, memory, lack of focus, and many more.
The effectiveness of HPN is thought to be its ability to interrupt the unhealthy brain wave patterns and stimulate new healthy ones. Like rebooting a computer, HPN stimulates the brain to reset itself and develop new healthy brain wave patterns. The result is the elimination of unhealthy brain wave patterns and the symptoms associated with them.

What should i expect during a HPN session?
A typical HPN session begins with the placement of five electrode sensors on the head and neck to measure the electrical activity of brain waves using an electrocephalograph (EEG) unit.
The EEG unit transmits the signal to the computer which then responds by sending low intensity pulses back through the EEG unit to the brain.
The intensity of the pulses is far less than the strength of a AA battery and cannot be felt. In fact it is 1 million times less intense than your smart phone. The pulses interrupt unhealthy brain wave patterns and stimulate new healthy ones.

How many sessions will i need?
The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some clients may notice improvement after one treatment. An individual with a history of lifelong problems will typically require more treatments.
A typical series is 15-20 treatments for adults, youth typically require less. Initial improvements are often temporary, but due to the cumulative nature of the treatments, the improvements last longer with each one. Over time, the improvements often lead to enduring sustainability.

What are the differences between Neurogen HPN and traditional neurofeedback?
HPN is a passive type of neurofeedback. The only thing you will be asked to do is sit and relax. Traditional neurofeedback requires active participation and effort. HPN generally takes less time per session and typically requires fewer sessions than traditional neurofeedback to sustain improvements. With HPN there are many advanced protocols the ICP may utilize to obtain positive results.
what can I expect after the treatment?
The most commonly reported responses include; mental clarity, clearer vision, more restful sleep, increase in motivation, improved focus and clarity, decreased anxiety and depression, increased ability to read, absence of irritability, absence of impatience, and the absence of anger.
Possible reactions include; feeling tired, lightheaded, slight headaches or a temporary exacerbation of a symptom. Occasionally, individuals may have periods of increased anxiety, increased irritability, or lack of energy. If you experience any of these reactions, please tell your HPN Provider, as the treatments can be adjusted to minimize reactivity. Staying hydrated and resting may help alleviate these symptoms.

Can i get shocked by this process?
No! The amount of energy that is used in HPN is very small and very safe. The EEG Amplifier puts out a very small signal that is equivalent to about 1/100th the strength of an AA battery. The signal is less than the strength of a cell phone signal and is far below anything a person can feel or detect. The HPN System is a Class 1 FDA Registered device, 510K approved.
are there any studies or research?
Yes. The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine conducted a study on veterans with PTSD. The results documented, via neuroimaging, showed significantly improved neural functions in the participants with mild traumatic brain injuries. The results were published in the September 29, 2017 issue of Science Daily. As a result, the Veterans Administration in San Diego is conducting a study that began October 2017. This $4 Million, double-blind study at UCSD will measure the progress of veterans who will receive treatments to care for PTSD symptoms.
