This is the best written FMC tutorial out there and it has a section on NISS: https://fmcsolves.cubing.net/fmc_tutorial_ENG.pdf

It's hard to wrap your mind around at first, but I recommend reading the section multiple times and trying out the examples until it starts to make sense.

The simplest example of NISS (and probably the best way to start out as a beginner) would be to try both the normal scramble and the inverse scramble (the normal scramble backwards) to find the best solution you can. If the best solution you can find solves the inverse scramble, invert the solution and it'll solve the normal scramble! This more or less gives you twice as many chances of finding something good!

That example doesn't involve any "switching" between normal and inverse, which is where the true power of NISS comes into play - for that, I think the document above can do a better job explaining than I could.
