🌟 The countdown is on for our first Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice Practicum of 2026!

Start the year by refreshing your skills and integrating practical neurofeedback strategies into your clinic.

Course highlights:
• 20 hours of self-paced online learning + 2 days hands-on practicum
• Expert guidance from top clinicians
• Practical tools and strategies for seamless integration

Here’s what a recent graduate shared:

“I really enjoyed the hands-on practice and online modules. It was great to connect with other practitioners and build a sense of community. The presenters were excellent, both clear and knowledgeable.”

✨ Myth vs Fact ✨

Myth: All neurofeedback systems are the same.
Fact: Protocols and clinician training matter deeply.

Neurofeedback outcomes are not determined by equipment alone. The practitioner’s understanding of brain function, protocol selection, and ability to adapt training to the individual are critical elements in effective neurofeedback practice.

This is why high-quality, clinically-informed training and ongoing professional development play such an important role in supporting ethical, evidence-based care.

What makes HRV clinically meaningful isn’t just how variable the heart is — but why it’s variable.

Stephen Porges’ work helped shift HRV from descriptive statistics to mechanistic understanding. By focusing on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), he linked heart rhythm directly to vagal cardioinhibitory pathways, offering a non-invasive index of autonomic regulation.

Concepts like the vagal brake reframed how clinicians think about flexibility, recovery, and physiological reserve — showing how heart rate can change rapidly through vagal withdrawal, without relying on sympathetic activation alone.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is often misunderstood as a simple score to optimise.
Steven Porges reminds us it is something far richer.

In his 2022 reflection, HRV is described as a living signal — a moment-to-moment expression of how the nervous system is regulating the heart in real time. Not noise. Not error. But pattern, meaning, and mechanism.

Across decades of research, Steven Porges shows how careful measurement of HRV — particularly respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) — opened a non-invasive window into vagal regulation, attention, resilience, and clinical possibility.

If you’d like to deepen your understanding of HRV beyond surface-level metrics, our training platform hosts webinars, education, and free resources exploring HRV, neurofeedback, and autonomic regulation.

During our recent trip to China for the ExeBrain Conference, we had the pleasure of meeting Dipl.-Ing. Jo Xue, co-founder & CEO of ZenoWell, makers of wearable devices for taVNS (transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation).

While ZenoWell were attending rather than presenting, Jo was genuinely curious about ANFI’s neurofeedback research and our work with survivors of trauma at STARTTS. What started as a conversation quickly evolved into an exciting exchange of ideas about how non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and neurofeedback might complement each other in supporting nervous-system regulation and recovery. 🧠✨

📢 2026 Practicum Dates Announced
BCIA-A Accredited | Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice

We’re pleased to confirm the 2026 practicum dates for ANFI’s Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice course — a hands-on, clinically focused training designed to support ethical, evidence-informed neurofeedback practice.

📅 19–20 March 2026
📅 18–19 June 2026
📅 17–18 September 2026

This practicum supports clinicians to confidently integrate neurofeedback into their existing work, with a strong emphasis on clinical application, professional standards, and client wellbeing 🧠

Suitable for practitioners new to neurofeedback as well as those looking to consolidate and refine their skills, the training is delivered in a collaborative, supportive learning environment.

Neurofeedback is often talked about, but not always clearly explained.

This carousel brings together the core concepts — how neurofeedback works, how the brain learns, and why self-regulation matters — in one place.

Whether you’re new to neurofeedback or looking to deepen your understanding, this is a simple, science-informed overview of the principles that underpin ethical neurofeedback practice.

Your breathing doesn’t just respond to the mind — it reveals it.

Research into nasal respiratory fingerprints shows that breathing patterns subtly reflect emotional regulation, stress levels and psychological traits, offering a powerful, non-invasive window into mental state.

Every breath carries information.
And the brain is always listening.

Mindfulness and neurofeedback share a key goal: helping individuals notice, regulate, and shift internal states with greater ease.

Mindfulness strengthens attention control, emotional regulation, and awareness — the same capacities engaged during neurofeedback. When the two are combined, clients often develop a clearer sense of how their internal shifts relate to the feedback they see on screen.

This synergy can make neurofeedback learning more intuitive and transferable beyond the clinic.

ANFI’s Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice Online Course includes an introduction to these concepts and how they support effective neurofeedback training.

✨ Season’s Greetings from ANFI ✨

As the year comes to a close, we want to sincerely thank our community of clinicians, students, and partners. Your trust, curiosity, and dedication continue to shape and strengthen the field of neurofeedback and trauma-informed care, and we’re grateful to be on this journey with you.

We hope this holiday season offers time to rest, reflect, and recharge. May 2026 bring clarity, growth, and continued progress — in your work, your wellbeing, and the impact you create.

Warm wishes from the ANFI team.

Did you know?

Classical conditioning isn’t just something from Pavlov’s lab — it plays a meaningful role in modern neurofeedback.

While operant conditioning shapes target brain states through reward-based feedback, classical conditioning helps those same states become automatically accessible outside the training room.

A routine such as one slow exhale, softening the gaze, or a tonal cue can, over time, become a conditioned trigger that helps clients re-enter a calm, focused state in real-world situations.

This is one of the many learning principles covered in ANFI’s Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice Online Course, helping clinicians understand not just what to train, but how learning actually happens at the neural level.

Your breathing pattern is more than a biological function — it’s a reflection of how your brain organises, regulates and responds.

Emerging research into nasal respiratory fingerprints highlights just how unique and meaningful each breath truly is.
