CNS Vital Signs Testing:

A Key to Neurofeedback Success 

What is CNS Vital Signs Testing?

CNS Vital Signs (CNSVS) testing is a comprehensive, non-invasive computerized neurocognitive assessment tool that evaluates key functions such as memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function. It provides valuable insights into brain health, helping clinicians and clients track cognitive performance over time. By establishing an objective baseline, this testing becomes an essential part of neurofeedback training, guiding personalized protocols and ensuring measurable results.


The Role of Clinical Rating Scales in Neurofeedback

In addition to CNS Vital Signs testing, clinical rating scales play a crucial role in assessing mental health, emotional well-being, and behavioral functioning. These standardized questionnaires capture subjective experiences like mood regulation, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, or sleep quality—factors that impact neurofeedback outcomes but may not be directly measured through cognitive tests. Using both cognitive assessments and clinical rating scales gives a holistic view of brain function and well-being, creating a clearer picture of how neurofeedback affects everyday life.

Benefits of Combining Clinical Rating Scales 

with CNS Vital Signs Testing

Multidimensional Feedback

Cognitive scores combined with self-reported mental health data provide a fuller understanding of progress.

Customized Training Protocols

Pre-training clinical assessments help practitioners identify underlying issues like stress or anxiety that may affect cognitive function. 

Monitor Progress

Post-training scales highlight improvements in areas like emotional regulation, sleep quality, or behavioral challenges alongside cognitive gains.

Early Intervention Opportunities

If improvements on rating scales are slower than expected, protocols can be adjusted to address underlying challenges more effectively.

1. Establish a Baseline for Personalization

-Cognitive testing identifies areas like memory or processing speed to be targetedin neurofeedback sessions.

-Clinical rating scales reveal emotional or behavioral patterns that may needattention.

2. Track Progress with Precision

-Post-training testing provides measurable evidence of changes in cognitivefunction.

-Clinical scales confirm improvements in real-life emotional and behavioral challenges, such as anxiety or ADHD symptoms.

3. Increase Motivation with Quantifiable Results

-Clear improvements in both cognitive performance and emotional well-being keep clients engaged in the process.

-Data-driven feedback reinforces confidence in neurofeedback’s effectiveness.

4. ​Optimize Protocols with Continuous Feedback

-If either cognitive assessments or clinical scales show areas needing furtherimprovement, practitioners can adjust protocols for better outcomes.

-Ongoing assessments ensure the neurofeedback journey stays aligned withevolving needs.

Why Perform 

Testing & Assessments 

Pre and Post Neurofeedback?


Neurofeedback training optimizes brain function, promoting improvements in attention, memory, emotional regulation, and overall mental well-being. Conducting both cognitive and clinical assessments before and after neurofeedback ensures the most comprehensive evaluation of progress. Here’s why combining these assessments is essential:
