NEURO/BIO FEEDBACK
WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?
Neurofeedback, also refered to as EEG Biofeedback or Neurotherapy, is a state-of-art, theraputic training tool that can be used to improve a variety of health conditions or increase personal potential.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to monitor brain wave activity and "feedback" information to the brain about its activity. A certified Neurofeedback professional provides the necessary instruction and interpretation to encourage the brain to function within a more appropriate pattern level. This involves increasing or decreasing certain brain wave frequency activities at certain locations. In effect, the brain learns to function with greater control and stability through self-regulation.
EEG Neurofeedback has received a lot of media attention in recent years. Newspaper and magazine articles, as well as television reports, have cited cases where EEG Neurofeedback has helped people with serious and debilitating neurological problems when no other therapies seem to work.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Sensors are applied to specific areas on the scalp and ears using a special conductive paste. These sensors transmit brain wave activity to an EEG that measures and records the frequencies being used to perform a particular task. These frequencies are divided into bands that are displayed on a computer screen, which appear to the trainee in the form of a video game or other video display. During Neurofeedback, the trainee effectivley "plays" the video game using his/her brain to reach the mental state in which the desired brain wave is achieved. Then the desired brain wave is reached, the brain is "rewarded" and learns to direct itself toward a more desireable performance level. The brain wave frequencies targeted are specific to reach individual. There are no medications. The procedure is completely painless and non-invasive.
IS TREATMENT SUCCESSFUL?
When the brain wave frequencies move into the desired frequency pattern, symptoms may be greatly decreased or entirely eliminated. Treatment is then considered complete, and the results are permanent. It may not be possible to predict how successful training may be for every individual, but a reasonable expectation of results can usually be assessed early in the course of training. Some health conditions are severe, and in many cases, working in conjunctions with your physician, neurofeedback training can offer hope for improvement and be an effective alternative to medications or drugs, often reducing or eliminating the need for them.
Reports have documented significant improvements for people with learning disorders, seizure disorders, closed head injuries, and many others. The outcomes achieved using EEG Neurofeedback as reported in these articles are remarkable. The overall success rate of EEG Neurofeedback training is reported to be more than 85%.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?
The number of training sessions required will vary depending on the specific condition being addressed. Treatment periods have been known to range between 10 and 60 sessions (40 minutes to 1 hour per session), 2 to 3 times per week. Your Neurofeedback professional will determine the actual number of sessions required, and assist in establishing the schedule that best fits your budget and goals.
IS NEUROFEEDBACK SAFE?
EEG Neurofeedback training only presents information to the brain about how it is performing. The decision to increase or decrease a performance frequency is made solely by the brain. EEG Neurofeedback training is increasing in popularity because it is safe, drug FREE and the results are remarkable.
