Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) uses activity from deep subcortical regions of the brain. This is the newest type of neurofeedback treatment.

Types of neurofeedback include:
-	Frequency/power neurofeedback
-	Slow cortical potential neurofeedback (SSCP-NF)
-	Low-energy neurofeedback system (LENS)
-	Hemoencephalographic (HEG)
-	Live Z-score neurofeedback
-	Low resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORE-TA)
-	Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)

This is the most common type of neurofeedback used. This uses 2 to 4 surface electrodes and changes the speed of brain waves in certain locations. 

Frequency/Power Neurofeedback

Slow cortical potential neurofeedback (SCP-NF) improves the direction of slow cortical potentials.

Slow Cortical Potential Neurofeedback (SCP-NF)

Low-energy neurofeedback system (LENS) uses a weak electromagnetic signal while the patient is still with their eyes shut.

Low-energy Neurofeedback System (LENS)

Hemoencephalographic (HEG) neurofeedback gives information on blood flow in cerebrum.

Hemoencephalographic (HEG) Neurofeedback

Live Z-score neurofeedback inputs comparison of electrical activity in the brain to a systematic database.

Live Z-score Neurofeedback

Low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORE-TA) uses 19 electrodes to observe phase, power, and coherence.
