The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility, acceptability and potential impact of using neurofeedback interventions to manage cognitive, emotional, and behavioural symptoms in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: (1) What is the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using the Nonlinear Dynamical Neurofeedback intervention for persons living with MCI? (2) What is the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) intervention for persons living with MCI? (3) What is the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using the Brain Music neurofeedback intervention for persons living with MCI? (4) What is the potential impact of five weeks of a neurofeedback intervention on cognitive, affective, and behavioural symptoms experienced by persons living with MCI? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the Nonlinear Dynamical (NLD), Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS), or Brain Music neurofeedback intervention groups or a control group receiving usual care.
