Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback training, also referred to as EEG Biofeedback or Neurotherapy, uses a natural means of re-training brainwave activity known as “operant conditioning”. This is a fully natural learning activity that we all use every day when learning a new skill or activity.
In a Neurofeedback session, we place two small sensors on the scalp to monitor brainwave activity in real time. These sensors provide a constant flow of information on how the brain is working. The patient gets to sit back, relax and watch a movie!
A typical training session is 30 minutes long. While you watch the video, our equipment will be providing feedback based on your brainwave activity. For example, if you lose focus, this is related to an excess of Delta brainwave activity. When that happens, the movie dims, bringing your brain back to focus on the movie.
This happens many times in a normal session. With time, your brain creates new, more efficient neural connections that allow the movie to stay in focus better. The result – better focus and concentration in the real world.
Whether it`s panic attacks, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autism or any other brain-based condition, neurofeedback can offer a solution using this natural, effective approach.
Think about it this way – when you first tried to swim, or ride a bike, you had to practice it repeatedly to learn how to do it correctly. With practice and repetition, you soon found yourself riding or swimming with ease. That’s an everyday example of how neurofeedback works.
The results can last a lifetime.
As with any skill such as swimming, once you learn how, the ability remains present for you to call on when you need it. Neurofeedback training produces the same long-lasting change in your brainwave activity. Even better, since it`s a natural learning activity, there are no side effects.
