The cost of neurofeedback can be initially intimidating primarily because performance enhancement is rarely
viewed as an investment in the future of the client. When directly compared to other common expenditures, some of a
more essential nature than others, the cost of neurofeedback is placed into perspective. When considering the
potentially profound enduring benefits associated with neurofeedback it is recognized as one of the best bargains
available.
