Neurofeedback

What is neurofeedback therapy?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training treatment that helps you learn how to control and improve your brainwave activity.

How does neurofeedback therapy work?

• Sensors (EEG electrodes) are placed on the scalp to continuously record brainwave activity in real-time.
• This activity is analyzed moment-by-moment by a computer system that’s set up with specific training goals, based on your baseline brain map (QEEG).
• The system rewards the brain for producing more of the desired brainwave patterns and discourages production of undesired patterns.
  • The “reward” is subtle: better clarity of a movie you’re watching, smoother gameplay, or more pleasant sounds.
  • If the brain drifts out of the targeted zone, the reward diminishes — encouraging the brain to “self-correct” back into the optimal range.
• Through repetition, the brain learns — much like muscle memory — to self-regulate its activity more effectively, without conscious effort from you.

What conditions can neurofeedback treat?

• Anxiety and stress
• ADHD and focus problems
• Depression
• Sleep issues
• PTSD and trauma
• Brain injury recovery
• Peak mental performance (like athletes or executives)
