What Is Neurofeedback?

Brain Training Made Easy

Neurofeedback is the direct training of the brain in real time, which helps the brain learn to function more efficiently. Neurofeedback addresses brain dysregulation, which can cause many conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep disorders, migraines, and more.

Think of your brain as a musical quartet: When all musicians are in sync, the sound is harmonious. But if one musician is out of tune, the overall sound is affected. Brainwaves operate in much the same way, working together to keep your mind and body in sync and running smoothly. But if any of your brainwaves are off, it can impact your entire system negatively.

The Neurofeedback Process

During a session, our clients are connected to a computer with a painless sensor. There is no electrical current put into the brain. Instead, the sensor listens to your brain wave activity. When the computer system detects irregular brain waves, it will cause the client to refocus their attention on the movie/video in a way that will cause brain wave regulation to take place. This can happen hundreds of times during a single session. Eventually after multiple sessions, the brain starts to learn to stay in the healthy ranges on its own. As that happens, the patient will see a reduction in their symptoms.

Neurofeedback does not directly target conditions and symptoms: it corrects irregular brainwaves and modifies timing patterns in the brain. The best part, results are often permanent.

The Benefits Of Neurofeedback

Improves autism symptoms by speeding up Beta brainwaves
Increases attention and focus for kids with Learning Disorders
Improves depression symptoms by speeding up Alpha brainwaves
Reduces anxiety and stress by slowing down Beta brainwaves
Improves sleep disorders by slowing Delta brainwaves
Improves memory
Regulates the brainwaves responsible for habits, which can reduce cravings

Why Does It Work So Well?

Research shows that people who suffer from neurological issues have irregular brainwaves. A person with ADD will have slower Beta brainwaves, which are responsible for attention and focus.

Training the brain can change these brainwaves over time, speeding them up or slowing them down where needed. Neurofeedback can improve alertness, attention, emotional regulation, behavior, cognitive function, and mental flexibility. When brainwaves are running at the right speed, users will often see a reduction in symptoms.

Results are often long lasting, which may allow someone to eliminate medications completely. Where medications only manage the symptoms, the goal of neurofeedback is to address the underlying cause and restore normal brainwave function.
