Neurofeedback (NF), or EEG biofeedback, has been practiced for well over four decades. Hundreds of thousands of individuals and families impacted by various mental health and/or neurological conditions have benefited greatly from this powerful, effective, established, and proven intervention. NF is relatively non-invasive and creates lasting results in stark contrast from the outcomes derived from pharmaceutical treatment for a wide variety of conditions. We estimate over 15,000 clinicians, world-wide are using this technology. The represented professions are inclusive of: psychology, counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, nursing, neurology, pediatrics, rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, naturopathic medicine, speech and language pathology, chiropractic, psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and family medicine.
Our approach
Empirical Studies from Universities, hospitals, Neuroscientist, Doctors, Psychologist & Engineers for the last 70 years are now evidently effective. Many have tried other therapies and finally they try neurofeedback. Better still ISF neurofeedback. Many have told me, “I wished I started first with QEEG Neurofeedback, either to save time or money. Simply put, many therapies tried to activate speech from zero sounds/speech via speech therapy, Sonrise and ABA, and have not been successful when the network is not connected. We have taken on these cases and succeeded to activate speech for these kids. As a ‘Behavior Psychologist’ ( since 1991), I know when ABA can or cannot work, and if intervention is introduced at the wrong time. This is simply the power of the schedules of reinforcement applied in all therapies even if they do not know it. This differentiates a good therapist from the rest. Correct schedules contributes to the effectiveness of neurofeedback therapy too. When to change the frequencies and when to introduce a different protocol. All therapies like Sonrise, ABA, Speech therapy are good and will work better when introduced at the appropriate time, when the brain is ready. Qeeg Neurofeedback is able to do this because we scan the brain and know where and when to treat the brain. We have replicated success many times. The brain is like a network of radio stations. If you want to attain frequency FM90.5, you have to accurately tune 90.5 to get loud, clear sounds. Because neuroplasticity exist, the road to recovery exist. We may be the road less travelled but surely real hope begins with us.
Neurofeedback Societies Maintaining Research Bibliographies
- The International Society for Neurofeedback and Research maintains a comprehensive bibliography of research articles discussing conditions that are positively affected by neurofeedback by D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D., Professor, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, University of Utah School of Medicine, and D. Allen Novian, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC-S, Adjunct Professor, Neurofeedback and Biofeedback, St. Mary’s University. ISNR also has an editorial in defense of EEG biofeedback.
- The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback published Evidence-Based Practice in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback (3rd ed.) which provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based and neuroscientifically supported information on the subject. They also have more information for consumers.

The ISNR Comprehensive Bibliography of Neurofeedback Research
Wilson Tok is a psychologist who graduated from the University of Victoria, BC, Canada in 1995. During his undergraduate studies, he volunteered at autism homes, which ignited his passion for supporting children with autism. He also dedicated two years to exploring computer-aided instruction (CAI) through “Think Fast,” training software developed by psychologists aimed at enhancing speed and accuracy for fluency learning.
After experiencing a serious auto accident and taking three years of medical leave, he began exploring neurofeedback. He has prior experience as a combat medic during National Service in Singapore. Additionally, he spent eight years serving on the school advisory committee at West Spring Secondary School in Singapore.
He currently practices QEEG-guided neurofeedback and is a licensed practitioner of infra-slow fluctuation neurofeedback, working to optimize brainwave activity in Singapore and Malaysia. He firmly believes in the principle that the whole exceeds the sum of its individual parts. He has provided care for clients with a range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, ADD, cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, severe tremors, multiple system atrophy, migraine, depression, anxiety, and most recently, cognitive impairment related to COVID-19.
His clients include students from leading Singaporean institutions such as SJI, RI, ACS, as well as Pathlight School, which serves students with special needs. He has also volunteered with the Singapore Sports School. Many of his former clients are currently undergraduates at top universities, pursuing careers in engineering, law, and medicine. In addition, he has provided brain training for management executives from multinational corporations across various industries to help them reduce stress and regain peak performance. The benefits of brain training are sustained over time, as the foundational skills developed during the sessions continue to support further growth even after the training concludes.
Wilson is currently the only practitioner in Southeast Asia who combines photobiomodulation (PBMt), pulsed electromagnetic frequencies (PEMF), Thai massage, Traditional Chinese Medicine Ai devices, and ISF neurofeedback in his client treatments. He holds certification in Thai therapeutic massage, accredited by the Ministry of Education in Thailand, and offers his expertise to clients seeking to learn techniques for providing care to their loved ones.
Wilson integrates multiple therapies to help his clients. Building on his undergraduate studies of fluency—speed and accuracy—he developed the ‘Think Fast’ Photobiomodulation system, aimed at restoring fluency in the brain. His multimodal approach is suggested to support individuals seeking assistance.

Mark Smith is a licensed clinical social worker, whose early career was established in the world of work, providing clinical services to the nurses, doctors, and staff of NYU Medical Center and Downtown Hospital in New York City. He is the owner and Clinical Director of Neurofeedback Services of New York. Mark currently has hundreds of practitioners worldwide, learning ISF and I was privileged to learn for him in New York & Arizona, Bi Polar & Loreta (ISF) fluctuation neurofeedback 9 years ago. ISF makes you ‘feel’ just by training you below 1hz in frequency. eg. 0.0030hz.
