WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?
Neurofeedback is brain exercise. We observe your brain in action from moment to moment by monitoring your brain waves. We show you your brain activity and we help you to change it by rewarding shifts toward a more appropriate and stable brain state. It is a gradual learning process. Neurofeedback is also called EEG biofeedback. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is another name for the brain wave recordings and, in this context, biofeedback refers to the process by which you learn to change your brain waves and thereby gain better control over your brain states.
EFFECTIVE FOR CLINICAL DISORDER & PEAK PERFORMANCE TRAINING
Neurofeedback has been found to be effective in the treatment of a number of clinical disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, seizures, and substance abuse. The benefits of neurofeedback have also been found useful in peak performance training. These benefits include improving attention/ concentration, imagery, arousal level, and decreasing worry and rumination. The combination of cognitive, emotional, and psychophysiological benefits from neurofeedback results in improved performance. Due to individual differences in brain activity, as well as the large diversity of skills required in different sports, neurofeedback for performance training is not a “one size fits all” approach. In order to obtain optimal results, neurofeedback for peak performance training begins with appropriate assessment and evaluation of an individual's brain wave (electro-encephalographic) activity. Individualized training plans are based upon the assessment findings and the specific needs of the targeted sport or activity.
HOW IS NEUROFEEDBACK DONE?
Sensors are attached to the scalp with EEG paste which then pick up brain waves. It is painless and does not involve the application of any voltage or current to the brain, so it is entirely non-invasive. A computer processes the brain waves and extracts certain information from them. We show you the ebb and flow of your brain waves, and the specific information we obtain from them, in the form of a video game. The specific brain wave frequencies we reward and the sensor locations on the scalp are unique to each individual.
