Questions to think about before you choose.

1. Courses.  The field isn't about equipment.  It's about training.  This is a clinical tool.  The equipment is only as good as your ability to use it, and your knowledge of clinical applications. The course you pick is one of the most important decisions. Read more . . .
   
   

2. Mentoring. A good mentor is critical to your clinical success in neurofeedback.  Finding who that is takes some effort. Read more
    

3. Equipment There's a number of equipment options.  They all sound good.   But they're not. Most clinicians don't realize, the smallest part of your initial investment in neurofeedback is equipment. So pick the best darn one you can find. Here are some important criteria to review. Read more . . .

    

4. Who to get advice from?   Before you decide on anything, it's natural to find someone close by or referral to get advice from.  Sometimes, it's even a vendor you call.  Or someone you meet at a conference.  All are options.  The more people you talk to the better. 
   
   But how do they compare their "success" with others success - no one measures it the same way.  There's a lot of hearsay, but few clinicians have much exposure to all the models and systems. We're only suggesting - choose carefully. 
   
   
5. Learning curve. How long will it take to really get confident and competent in my practice of neurofeedback?  Are there ways to speed up the learning curve? 
   
   

6. qEEG's.  Where does qEEG's fit in? 
   
   

7. Practice issues.  How does neurofeedback actually help me build my practice?  What's the cash flow look like?  How many patients do I want to see?  Should I consider in the future adding staff?  Do my space options fit what I'll need? Want help in developing a practice?
   
   
8. Future tools.  What additional tools and courses will I need to take over the next 2 to 3 years to gain sufficient competency?  Are you sure this going to pay itself back?
   
   
9. What's the payback? 

   t's helpful to figure out how your billing per patient.  If you can project number of clients, and subtract costs and overhead, you can realize your payback time. Ultimately, you should amortize all costs.  You'll see quickly that the equipment, no matter what the price, turns out to be a small part of the cost for on ongoing practice.
