Microcurrent Neurofeedback (IASIS)
Microcurrent Neurofeedback in plain language
Microcurrent neurofeedback (IASIS) is a gentle, non-invasive neurofeedback approach that supports nervous system regulation. It uses very small, imperceptible microcurrents to help the brain recognize and release patterns of over-activation.
Unlike traditional neurofeedback, IASIS does not require effort, focus, or revisiting past experiences. You simply rest while the system supports the brain in settling and reorganizing.
IASIS is non-invasive and uses microcurrents well below sensory thresholds. It does not involve diagnosis, medication, or stimulation you can feel. If IASIS is not a good fit, we will say so.
IASIS stands for Integrated Adaptive Sensory Integration System which is a form of neurofeedback.
When the nervous system has been under long-term stress or trauma, it can become stuck in patterns of hyper-vigilance, overwhelm, or shutdown. IASIS provides subtle feedback that encourages the brain to move toward balance.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is analyzed.
The process is passive and gentle.

What IASIS may help with
Chronic stress and nervous system overload
Anxiety and persistent tension
Trauma and prolonged emotional strain
Difficulty settling or turning the mind off
Emotional reactivity or feeling stuck in patterns
Head Trauma, concussions, migraines
PTSD
What a session is like
Sessions are quiet and brief. You remain fully awake and in control throughout.
Most people describe sessions as neutral to calming. Some notice subtle shifts afterward, while others experience gradual changes over time. There is no requirement to talk about personal material during the session.
How IASIS fits with counseling
IASIS can be offered alone or as an adjunct with counseling. By supporting nervous system regulation, it can make emotional and relational work feel more accessible.
We approach IASIS conservatively and collaboratively, always respecting your pace and comfort.
FAQs
What is the difference between traditional neurofeedback and IASIS?
Traditional neurofeedback is an active process that often involves training the brain over time using feedback and practice. IASIS uses gentle microcurrent in a passive, non-invasive way to help the brain recognize and reset patterns, without requiring effort or active participation from the client.
IASIS stands for Integrated Adaptive Sensory Integration System, a form of gentle microcurrent neurofeedback.
What is IASIS?
IASIS is a gentle, non-invasive form of microcurrent neurofeedback designed to support the brain’s natural ability to recognize and reset patterns related to stress, trauma, and nervous-system dysregulation. The process is passive, meaning clients do not need to actively focus or “do” anything during a session.
IASIS works by delivering very low-level electrical signals through sensors placed on the scalp. These signals provide the brain with brief information, allowing it to self-correct in a way that is often experienced as calming and regulating. Each session is paced carefully and tailored to the individual.
Is IASIS safe?
IASIS is considered gentle and non-invasive, using extremely low-level microcurrent signals. Sessions are carefully monitored and paced according to each client’s nervous system and comfort.
As the brain adjusts, some clients may notice temporary responses such as fatigue or emotional processing, which are generally short-lived and part of normal integration.
Will I feel anything during or after an IASIS session?
Experiences vary from person to person. Some clients notice subtle sensations, increased calm, or mental clarity, while others feel little during the session itself. It is also common to feel physically tired afterward as the brain and nervous system integrate the work.
What kinds of issues can IASIS help with?
IASIS is often used to support nervous-system regulation and may be helpful for stress, anxiety, trauma-related patterns, PTSD, head trauma, and concussions. Clients also commonly seek IASIS support for emotional overwhelm, sleep difficulties, challenges with focus or concentration, and periods of burnout or prolonged stress.
Responses vary from person to person, and sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs and goals.
How many IASIS sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies by individual and goals. Some clients notice changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from a series of sessions over time, especially when supporting longer-standing patterns or nervous-system regulation. There is no required number of sessions, and care is adjusted based on response and preference.
