Neurostimulation

At Mighty Village, we use advanced noninvasive neurostimulation technologies to gently support the brain’s natural rhythms. These tools are designed to help you or your child improve focus, emotional balance, sleep, and cognitive performance. All of our methods are safe, research-based, and offer a medication-free alternative to better self-regulation and mental clarity.

What is Neurostimulation?

Neurostimulation uses low-level electrical or magnetic signals to support healthy brainwave activity. These methods are completely noninvasive, comfortable, and often deeply calming. Every protocol is personalized using data from a QEEG brain map to ensure the approach fits your or your child’s unique needs.

Whether the goal is to improve attention, reduce anxiety, ease sensory overload, or enhance memory, neurostimulation encourages more efficient communication within the brain in a natural and effective way.

Modalities We Use

At Mighty Village, we utilize a full suite of neurostimulation approaches to support brain regulation, cognitive flexibility, and emotional resilience. Each of the following modalities is tailored to the individual based on QEEG brain mapping and current clinical needs.

  • Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS)
    tACS delivers a gentle electrical current that mimics the brain’s natural frequencies. This method helps increase or decrease activity in targeted areas of the brain to support attention, emotional regulation, and relaxation.

  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
    tDCS applies a steady, low-level current to specific regions of the brain to help improve working memory, learning, and focus. It is also used to support mood regulation and reduce mental fatigue.

  • Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (pEMF)
    pEMF uses pulsing magnetic fields to improve cellular communication and calm the nervous system. This technique is especially helpful for individuals who experience chronic stress, difficulty sleeping, or overarousal.

  • Photobiomodulation (Photostimulation)
    This modality uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate brain metabolism and reduce inflammation. It can be helpful for increasing clarity, energy, and overall resilience, particularly in those experiencing fatigue or brain fog.

  • Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)
    tVNS targets the vagus nerve via gentle stimulation of the outer ear. This approach supports autonomic balance, mood regulation, and resilience by activating the body’s natural anti-inflammatory and calming pathways.

  • Transcranial Random and Pink Noise Stimulation (tRNS / tAPNS)
    These approaches use subtle electrical noise to enhance brain plasticity and support regulation. tRNS introduces high-frequency “white noise” to improve learning, attention, and cognitive performance, while tAPNS uses filtered pink noise to reduce chaotic brain activity and promote state stability—particularly helpful for individuals with sensory sensitivity or neurological dysregulation.

What to Expect

Sessions are relaxing and completely personalized. You or your child will sit or recline comfortably during the session while the stimulation is applied. The protocols are informed by ongoing EEG data and adjusted to reflect progress over time. There is no discomfort and no active participation is required. The experience is calming and restorative, allowing the brain to reset and function more efficiently.

Many individuals listen to music, relax, or engage in psychotherapy and skill-building exercises, either during the session or shortly after, taking advantage of the enhanced neuroplasticity that occurs during and for about 90 minutes following treatment.

Who Can Benefit?

Neurostimulation may be appropriate for:

  • ADHD, anxiety, or mood regulation challenges
  • Parents seeking natural support for burnout, brain fog, or poor sleep
  • Individuals with sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, or chronic stress
  • Anyone looking to improve focus, mental clarity, or resilience

Research Supporting Our Work

We are committed to providing brain-based care grounded in science. The studies below represent just a selection of the more than 500 published research articles in our clinical database. Each one supports the safety and efficacy of the neuromodulation techniques we offer. This evidence helps guide our personalized approach to care—grounded in data, tailored to the individual, and supported by neuroscience.

EEG Subtypes in ADHD

Identified meaningful EEG biomarkers and subtypes in ADHD, including frontal beta spindles, elevated theta, and mu rhythms. QEEG patterns can guide tailored treatment strategies and predict response to neurofeedback and neurostimulation. Reference: Slater et al., 2022

Theta/Beta Ratio as an ADHD Biomarker

FDA-supported studies evaluated the theta/beta ratio as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in ADHD. Elevated theta/beta ratios are present in up to 40% of ADHD cases and are predictive of response to medication and neurofeedback. Reference: Arns et al., 2013

Gamma tACS and Working Memory

Gamma-frequency tACS has been shown to improve attention and working memory in individuals with cognitive deficits. High-definition stimulation boosted prefrontal activity and enhanced recall performance. Reference: Reinhart & Nguyen, 2019

Alpha tACS and Auditory Processing

Alpha-frequency tACS modulates auditory perception and speech processing by entraining neural oscillations, with potential applications for attention and sensory regulation. Reference: Vogeti et al., 2023

Safety of tDCS Across Populations

A large-scale review of over 33,000 tDCS sessions across varied populations found no serious adverse effects when standard protocols were followed, supporting the technique's safety and tolerability. Reference: Bikson et al., 2016

Photobiomodulation and Brain Metabolism

Red and near-infrared light therapy has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function, improve cerebral metabolism, and reduce neuroinflammation, with applications for both cognitive enhancement and neurorehabilitation. Reference: Santos et al., Cells, 2024

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Inflammation

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been shown to regulate immune function and stress responses through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Reference: Pavlov & Tracey, 2012

EEG Maturation Differences in ADHD

Children with ADHD show delayed maturation of EEG rhythms, particularly persistence of elevated slow-wave activity, which correlates with developmental lag in executive function. Reference: Poli et al., 2014

Neurostimulation for Frontal Slowing and Mu Rhythms

Neurofield-based stimulation protocols targeting slow wave activity and mu rhythms have demonstrated improvement in attention, arousal regulation, and sleep quality among individuals with ADHD profiles. Reference: Thompson et al., Neurofield School of Neurotherapy Curriculum, 2023

Enhancing Learning with tRNS

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) paired with math training improved learning efficiency and cognitive flexibility in children, highlighting the synergy between stimulation and structured practice. Reference: Looi et al., 2016
