About Neurofeedback
Achieving Optimal Brain Function
What if you could improve or eliminate common mental health conditions by watching a computer screen?
Neurofeedback is uses computer technology to monitor and help correct unhealthy brainwaves while the user is watching a movie or listening to music. While medications address symptoms, neurofeedback targets the brainwaves that can cause those symptoms and helps them to regulate better. The process is safe, non-invasive, enjoyable and has decades of qualified research.
Neurofeedback does not target any specific condition. Instead it helps the brain self-regulate and change timing and activation patterns. This can result in better brain function, which may improve or eliminate many neurological conditions. Direct targeting of brainwave frequencies can have a bigger impact on improving mental health than many other brain-based methods.
The Neurofeedback Process
During a session, patients are connected to a computer using sensors. These sensors are noninvasive, no electrical current is put into the brain. The sensors only monitor brainwaves.
For the next 30 minutes, you either watch a movie, listen to music or listen to an audio book. When the computer detects irregular brainwaves, it will fade the video and sound. This will cause the patient to refocus their attention back on the movie or music until it returns to normal. 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 it’s 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.
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 permanent, 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.
