What is IASIS MCN: Micro Current Neurofeedback?
With an 85% observed success rate, IASIS MCN is a 510K FDA Class II medical biofeedback device. MCN is founded on the idea of Hormesis: “Less is More.” Unlike traditional Neurofeedback or other biofeedback modalities, rather than actively training the brain, MCN passively retrains or reboots the dysregulated brain using low intensity pulses with transcranial stimulation, or LIP-tES. This low intensity stimulation uses less than 3 trillionths of a pico watt to achieve the stimulation of neurogenesis, a brain reboot, and over time, sustained regulation.
Simply put, we are pulling the brain out of a sympathetic freeze, “fight or flight,” and shifting it back into a healthy parasympathetic response, or “rest and digest.” In doing this, body wide healing can be facilitated.

Tradition Neurofeedback vs. MCN
Traditional Neurofeedback uses Active technology, takes 5-10 sessions before symptom reduction occurs, needs 40-80 sessions for sustainability, and uses direct neuro communication.
MCN uses passive technology, takes only 3-5 sessions before symptom reductions occur, requires only 20-40 sessions for enduring sustainability, and bathes the entire brain in energy, targeting a larger subset of conditions.

FAQs
What happens during an IASIS Treatment?
Upon arrival you will enter a calm relaxing space. In the sitting position, 5 electrodes will be placed on your head where the device will measure and record electrical signals. Using those signal frequencies, feedback will be signaled to your brain. This is a painless non-invasive procedure. You are free to just sit back and relax and enjoy this passive and calming procedure.
​
How Long does the treatment take?
The initial treatment could take up to an hour as we do a thorough intake of problematic symptoms. Subsequent appointments will usually take 30 minutes, 15 minutes to set up the equipment and 10-15 minutes in treatment.
​
How many IASIS treatments are needed?
Depending on the history and longevity of the perceived symptoms, 85% of clients have been observed to have a positive effect within the first 3-5 treatments. Sustainability usually occurs within 10-20 treatments. At this point, most people will require no further treatment.
Is IASIS MCN Neurofeedback safe?
IASIS MCN is not only safe for adults, children and infants, but is completely painless and patients may even experience an immediate calming effect.
​
Are there side effects to MCN treatments?
Every Patient is different, but after the first few sessions, some may experience short lived fatigue, an energetic feeling, brain fog or a mild headache. Most symptoms should last no longer than a few hours.
