The matter of how neurofeedback works is a very big question that requires a Nobel prize-winning answer, which I don’t have. Sterman (2000) discovered the complexity of neurofeedback in his earliest studies of seizure:

the idea that developing the reflective skills of mindsight activates the very circuits that create resilience and well-being and that underlie empathy and compassion as well.

the connection between the amygdala and the PFC explains much of the individual differences in emotional regulation.

Disrupting the DMN also helps people be more grounded in the present moment, achieving a state of mindfulness useful for battling depression.
