What is Neurofeedback?

 

Neurofeedback training is a form of biofeedback that uses EEG/brainwave information to help teach an individual how to regulate their brainwave activity and improve their brain function. Neurofeedback training is a non-invasive therapeutic approach to enhancing enhance neuroregulation and metabolic function for a variety of conditions. Additionally, Neurofeedback is used for a model of learning, which associates behaviour with a stimulus, known as “operant conditioning”.

What are the benefits of Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback uses EEG/brainwave information to regulate brainwave activity and improve brain function. The brainwave activity can be measured by different types of brainwave bands. Standard frequency bands are DELTA, THETA, ALPHA, BETA, and GAMMA.

NEUROFEEDBACK CAN HELP US:

  • Improve attention span and concentration

  • Reduce hyperactivity/impulsivity

  • Enhance creativity and problem-solving skills

  • Decrease anxiety, stress, and depression

  • Improve mood and self-confidence

  • Optimize and improve sleep quality of sleep

  • Improve cognitive functioning (e.g. memory, executive functioning)

  • Improve reading and writing due to learning impairments

How is Neurofeedback done?

To monitor brainwave activity and train the brain, sensors are gently placed on the client’s scalp to read electroencephalogram (EEG; i.e.,  (brainwave) activity. These EEG signals are monitored by a computer-based system, which provides the proper feedback by means of video display and/or game, along with audio signals. This feedback provides reinforcement to the brain, which promotes regulation and healing.

By improving the brain’s ability to self-regulate, patients feel better emotionally and physically as well as report improved attention and concentration. With regular sessions, symptoms associated with brain dysregulation will improve.
