What is memory, and why does it need training?

Memory is a dynamic process that can be built, strengthened, and also weakened if not exercised. Occasional forgetfulness is a normal human experience, but when difficulty remembering information, repeated lapses, or a feeling of mental fog begin to interfere with daily life, it can become a source of frustration and worry.

Modern lifestyles, marked by multitasking, constant information flow, and psychological stress, often exacerbate these disturbances. Stress, fatigue, aging, and cognitive overload directly affect short-term memory and concentration. Thanks to brain plasticity, these functions can be stimulated and strengthened.

Three main categories of memory disorders:

  • Regular age-related memory changes: mild difficulties (minor forgetfulness, trouble multitasking) that do not impact daily autonomy.
  • Mild neurocognitive disorder: more pronounced memory problems than in normal aging, but without affecting independent daily functioning.
  • Major neurocognitive disorder or dementia: progressive loss of cognitive functions (memory, language, organization, planning, judgment) significant enough to impair daily abilities.

Good to know: Combining neurofeedback with other approaches (mental activities, physical exercise, meditation, balanced diet) can maximize memory benefits.

Who is affected?

  • Older adults: Memory disorders are more common with age. Approximately 1 in 20 people aged 65 and older, and 1 in 4 people aged 85 and older, are affected. Women are twice as likely as men.
  • Children and young adults may experience attention difficulties or a high mental load, while students and young adults may be affected by stress or overexertion.
  • Professionals, who are often subject to stress or overwork, are also concerned.

Often associated with other challenges

Help your child strengthen memory and focus for academic success

Watching your child struggle with homework, forget lessons, or have difficulty keeping up in class can be a source of worry and frustration for the whole family. These challenges may be linked to cognitive problems that can be addressed. Neurofeedback offers a safe and practical approach to support your child’s memory and attention development.

Maxime, 9, struggled to memorize multiplication tables and constantly forgot instructions. His parents received notes from school highlighting his lack of attention and wondered how to help without overloading him. After a few neurofeedback sessions, they noticed a significant improvement in his concentration and ability to retain information.

“Our son is calmer when doing his homework, remembers things better, and his teachers have noticed his progress. He’s enjoying learning again!”

Unlock your potential: better memory for academic and social success

Student life and early adulthood are intense periods where memory and focus are constantly challenged. Frequent forgetfulness, difficulty maintaining attention in class, or high exam anxiety can create a feeling of falling behind and hinder success. These obstacles can be overcome to thrive fully.

Julien, 22, struggled to retain his course material, forgot essential deadlines, and felt stressed before every exam. He thought he was working harder than others without achieving the same results, which undermined his confidence and plans.

“I finally found a method that helps me stay focused and memorize my courses without relying on stimulants. My grades are improving, and I feel in control of my future.”

Julien, 22

Optimize your work performance and well-being by strengthening your memory

In a demanding professional world, memory and concentration are valuable assets. Frequent forgetfulness, difficulty managing multiple tasks, or a foggy mind can undermine efficiency, career growth, and cause significant stress. You deserve to regain full cognitive capacity to tackle any challenge.

Sophie, 38, a project manager, felt overwhelmed by the volume of information she had to manage. She would often forget essential details in meetings, struggled to prioritize tasks, and constantly felt under pressure, which affected her confidence and responsiveness.

“My forgetfulness decreased, and my concentration improved day by day. I feel much more in control, able to manage complex tasks without the anxiety I had before. It’s a real professional advantage.”

Sophie, 38

Support your loved one's memory while preserving your energy with Neurofeedback

Supporting a loved one with declining memory comes with challenges, worries, and exhaustion. Managing forgetfulness, behavioral changes, or anxiety can have a significant impact on your own well-being. You are not alone, and finding support for both you and your loved one is essential.

Caroline, 55, cared for her mother with Alzheimer’s disease. She felt constantly anxious and exhausted from her mother’s repeated forgetfulness, communication difficulties, and sleep disturbances. She sought ways to improve her mother’s quality of life while preserving her own mental health.

“Neurofeedback was a breath of fresh air for my mother and me. She is calmer, sleeps better, and I feel less overwhelmed by stress. We have regained moments of joy I thought were lost.”

Caroline, 55

Steps in our Neuroperforma approach

How our Neurofeedback Method can improve your memory

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training method that helps harmonize your brain’s electrical activity. By specifically targeting imbalances related to memory, concentration, and cognitive management, it can sustainably strengthen your ability to retain information and improve mental clarity.

How our Neurofeedback Method can improve your memory

Begin with a 30-minute call with one of our advisors. We take time to understand your specific memory challenges, habits, and personal or loved one goals.

Next, you meet a qualified psychologist or neuropsychologist. This session assesses the nature of your memory difficulties, their impact on daily life, and sets objectives for enhancing your memory.

A medical electrophysiology technologist records and analyzes your brain activity for 30-45 minutes. Non-invasive, painless sensors on the scalp measure real-time electrical activity.

Our specialists analyze your qEEG data and provide a detailed written report that links brain activity to memory challenges, along with recommendations for a customized training program.

Training consists of at least 12 sessions per issue. During each 50-minute session, an electrode headset monitors brain activity. Neuroperforma utilizes a 19-electrode system that simultaneously reads, analyzes, and trains 12,700 brain locations.

Progress is regularly analyzed, and the program is adapted to maximize results.

Neurofeedback-optimized capacities are typically durable and can continue to improve after training concludes.

A Proven and Recognized Method for Lasting Memory Enhancement

At Neuroperforma, our approach is rooted in science and enriched by human expertise. We’re proud to offer a method whose effectiveness is validated by research and confirmed by the powerful testimonials of our clients.

Scientific Evidence

Effectiveness for attention and cognition: Innovative clinical studies, such as those by Jérémie Mattout, have examined neurofeedback’s effects on attention in children with ADHD, showing reduced inattention symptoms through training — observable via the P300 wave (an attention biomarker). Enhanced attention is a crucial foundation for improving memory.

Impact on associated conditions: Neurofeedback is classified as a Level 5 intervention (the highest level of evidence) for attention and anxiety disorders — both major factors that can disrupt memory and focus. By reducing anxiety and stress, neurofeedback can significantly boost cognitive performance.

Targeted brain mechanisms: Neurofeedback stimulates the neural networks involved in encoding and consolidation, promoting mental clarity and stronger information retention.

Recognition & Technology

We collaborate with qualified professionals (psychologists, neuropsychologists, and medical electrophysiology technologists).

The Ordre des Psychologues du Québec officially recognizes Neurofeedback as a technique practiced by psychologists.

Neuroperforma is the leading neurofeedback center in Canada. We utilize the latest 19-electrode Neurofeedback technology, which offers more detailed analysis, faster results, and greater efficiency compared to traditional 1–2 electrode systems, allowing for precise targeting of dysfunctions related to memory and cognition.

FAQ – Memory Disorders and Neurofeedback

1

Is it normal to have memory lapses with age?

Yes. Normal aging can bring mild forgetfulness without loss of independence. Mild neurocognitive disorder refers to more noticeable difficulties that do not affect daily life, while major disorder (dementia) implies loss of autonomy.

2

How does neurofeedback improve memory?

By training the frontal, temporal, and hippocampal regions involved in memory, encoding, and consolidation. The brain learns to self-regulate, reducing forgetfulness and improving fluidity of recall.

3

Is it painful or risky?

No. Painless sensors record brain activity; the method is non-invasive and has no known side effects.

4

Can it be combined with other approaches (medication, speech therapy, psychotherapy)?

Yes. Neurofeedback complements medical treatment, cognitive exercises, healthy lifestyle habits, and specialized therapies.

5

Should I also change my lifestyle habits?

Yes – this enhances the results: regular sleep, hydration, physical activity, stress management, a balanced diet (including omega-3s and B vitamins), and cognitive training.
