Neurofeedback
What is Neurofeedback? Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) is direct training of the brain, by which it learns to function more efficiently. We observe your brain in action from moment to moment by monitoring your brainwaves with the use of the EEG and computers.
We show the information back to you in the form of a video game, and we reward shifts towards a more functional brain state. It is a gradual learning process that moves the brain to higher levels of optimal functioning.
How can Neurofeedback help? Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain disregulation. These include the anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, learning difficulties, behavioral problems, various sleep disorders, sensory integration issues, headaches, migraines, mood swings, PMS, and emotional distress. It is also useful for organic brain conditions such as seizures, the autistic spectrum, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's, bipolar disorder and TBIs (traumatic brain injury).
Who can benefit from Neurofeedback? Individuals of any age can benefit from EEG biofeedback training. Neurofeedback helps a variety of childhood problems including bedwetting, nightmares, attention and other forms of disrupting and disturbing behaviors.
Neurofeedback assists adolescents who might struggle with anxiety and depression, and alcohol or drug use. Neurofeedback helps maintain good brain function and peak performers use EEG training to enhance their abilities in business and the arts.
How is Neurofeedback done? Sensors are attached to the scalp with EEG paste to record your brainwaves. It is painless and does not involve the application of any voltage or current to the brain, so it is entirely non-invasive. A computer processes the brain waves and extracts certain information from them. The ebb and flow of your brain waves and the specific amplitude obtained from them, are shown back to you in the form of a video game. You are instructed how to play the game using only your brain. (Everyone can do it.) The specific brain wave frequencies we reinforce and the sensor locations on the scalp are unique to each individual.
What happens if Neurofeedback clients are taking medication? With successful neurofeedback training, medications targeting brain functions may no longer be needed, or the dosage may be lowered. The brain takes over the role of regulating itself. It is important for clients to discuss this training with their prescribing physician with regards to lowering their dosage or stopping their medication altogether.
If Neurofeedback can do so much, why haven't I heard about it? Neurofeedback is not yet taught in most medical schools or psychology programs. Many professionals are therefore unaware of the technique. The field is growing rapidly and as it does more professionals will be informed and educated in neurofeedback.
