What is Mild Cognitive Decline?
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) refers to noticeable changes in memory, attention, language, or executive functions such as organization, planning, and decision-making, beyond normal aging. Daily autonomy is generally preserved. Mild cognitive decline does not always progress to dementia: some profiles remain stable, while others improve with early intervention.
Who is affected?
- Individuals with cognitive decline who have observed improvements in their cognitive functions after neurofeedback training, whether affected by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia
- Individuals in the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease
- People aged 65 and older are particularly affected, with 8.7% living with at least one neurocognitive disorder, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada
- Individuals under 65 can also experience early-onset neurocognitive disorders
Good to know: Programs integrating neurofeedback, such as “Quantitative EEG Neurometric Analysis-Guided Neurofeedback Treatment in Dementia” by T. Surmeli, Eralp, and O. Surmeli (2016), have shown improvements on standardized cognitive tests (MMSE/MoCA) and a reduction in symptoms in populations with cognitive decline, with publications reporting several-point gains and favorable biological markers when used as a complementary approach.
Slow Down Mild Cognitive Decline and Boost Your Abilities with Neurofeedback
Whether you are a professional or a caregiver for an older adult, mild cognitive impairment can be concerning, characterized by memory lapses, difficulty finding words, disorganization, more complex decision-making, and confusion in familiar places. These changes can be stabilized–or even improved–with early and targeted intervention.

Support Your Parent with Practical Guidance
Mild cognitive decline goes beyond “normal” aging: small memory losses, word-finding difficulties, trouble organizing or planning. Autonomy is generally preserved, but recurrent forgetfulness and reduced attention are concerning. Early intervention can stabilize or even improve some cognitive aspects.
Isabelle, 55, noticed her mother repeating questions and struggling to follow new instructions. Appointments were forgotten, and lists multiplied. After completing a neurofeedback program, her mother was able to retain recent information more effectively and follow daily task steps more easily.
Stay Independent with a Sharper Mind
Mild cognitive decline can affect working memory, word retrieval, or the ability to organize the day. Yet, many individuals maintain a good level of autonomy. Early intervention helps maintain skills and strengthen key daily functions.
Andre, 72, sometimes got lost in administrative tasks and lost track during new activities. After a few weeks of neurofeedback, he feels more focused, follows steps more easily, and feels more confident in his tasks.
Ease Daily Life and Preserve Couple Autonomy
Early signs of cognitive decline (forgetfulness, difficulty organizing, slow decision-making) can strain a couple’s dynamic. Appropriate training can support memory and attention, reduce tensions, and promote a smoother routine.
Claire noticed her husband repeating himself and abandoning ongoing tasks. After receiving neurofeedback support, he follows recipe steps more effectively, participates more in activities, and feels less stressed about his forgetfulness.
Expected Benefits of Neurofeedback
- Improved attention, working memory, and mental clarity
- Enhanced information encoding/recall and organization
- Reduced anxiety and stress, which worsen forgetfulness
- Improved cognitive alertness

How Our Neurofeedback Method Works for Mild Cognitive Decline
Neurofeedback is a gentle, non-invasive method that helps the brain function more efficiently. By stimulating areas related to memory, attention, and mental clarity, it can help slow cognitive decline and strengthen everyday intellectual abilities.
Interviews, questionnaires, and non-invasive quantitative EEG (qEEG) to map the networks involved
Targeted objectives (recent memory, attention, organization) tailored to the individual
12 sessions of 45 minutes, 1-2 times per week; real-time feedback
Adjustments based on progress, along with brain-healthy lifestyle guidance (including sleep, physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and stress management)
Scientific Evidence
- Published studies reporting cognitive improvements in people with cognitive decline using neurofeedback (e.g., Surmeli et al., 2016: MMSE gains).
- Complementary brain-health approaches (gamma frequencies, photobiomodulation, meditation, lifestyle habits) are associated with favorable markers in dementia/cognitive disorders (publications since 2016, e.g., Toups 2022).
- Non-drug, painless method compatible with other care.
- Neurofeedback is officially recognized by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec as a technique used by psychologists.

FAQ – Mild Cognitive Decline and Neurofeedback
What is Mild Cognitive Decline?
Noticeable changes in memory, attention, language, or executive functions beyond normal aging, without significant loss of autonomy. Some individuals remain stable, others improve; a subgroup may progress to dementia. Early detection helps to act effectively.
What are common signs?
Recent forgetfulness, word-finding difficulties, more complex decision-making, disorganization, misplaced objects, confusion in familiar places, difficulty following a conversation or story.
Does it always mean the start of dementia?
No. MCI is a risk factor, but it does not inevitably lead to dementia. Regular monitoring and targeted interventions can stabilize or even improve some profiles.
How can neurofeedback help with mild cognitive decline?
Targeted training of attention and memory networks to improve mental clarity, encoding, recall, sustained attention, and organization. Non-invasive, painless, with no known side effects.
How long until effects are seen?
Improvements are often observed in 8-12 weeks with 1-3 sessions per week. The total number of sessions depends on the individual’s profile, goals, and adherence to lifestyle recommendations.
Does neurofeedback replace other care?
No. It integrates into a multimodal approach that includes cognitive stimulation, physical activity, sleep hygiene, nutrition, risk factor management (including hypertension and diabetes), medical follow-up, and psychological support. Approaches are complementary.
Are there any risks with neurofeedback?
The method is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. A trained professional adjusts parameters and monitors progress.
