Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback, (also known as EEG Biofeedback, Neurotherapy or Neurotraining), is the process of operant conditioning which stabilizes the central nervous system using equipment that monitors and measures the electrical activity of the brain and trains the brain to be more available to life's requirements.

Simply put, Neurofeedback (also known as Biofeedback) exercises and helps "strengthen" the brain, calms it, and improves its stability. It’s easy – virtually anyone can do it.

The brain helps regulate sleep, emotions, thinking, behavior, and much more. The training doesn’t directly change sleep or other problems. It helps the brain become better regulated. Since sleep, emotions or behavior are regulated by the brain, improvements are generally seen after training.

When you give the brain information about itself, it has an enormous capacity for change. Neurofeedback makes the information available to the brain almost instantly, and asks it to make adjustments. This gives the brain a greater ability to self-manage or regulate.

• The brain can change with assistance directed by various sensory stimuli (light, movement, sound)
• The brain 'assists' in finding the best/better approach to reacting to stimuli. It is thought that the brain may create new pathways and or dendrites in response to neurofeedback (operant conditioning).
• The brain will remain in this new state because it 'feels better'.
• As the brain is continually used, it will maintain this 'new skill'
