Executive functions make possible mentally playing with ideas; taking the time to think before acting; meeting novel, unanticipated challenges; resisting temptations; and staying focused. Core EFs are inhibition (self-control and resisting acting impulsively) and interference control (selective attention and cognitive inhibition), working memory, and cognitive flexibility (including creatively thinking, and quickly and flexibly adapting to changed circumstances).

Through neurofeedback, Executives can learn to modulate their brainwave patterns associated with specific performance states. By gaining control over their brain activity, executives can better staying focused, take better decisions, manage stress, reduce anxiety, enhance memory, and improve mental clarity, ultimately leading to enhanced executive performance.
