Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is an effective method for improving brainwave imbalances. As a pain-free, non-invasive, and medicine-free training technique, we can safely promote improvement for ADHD, anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injuries, and memory, just to name a few.

How It Works

Researchers have known for decades the connection between neurological conditions and abnormal brainwaves. Neurofeedback is the only treatment focusing on fixing irregular brainwaves and returning them to healthy patterns. The communication between neurons within our brain is at the root of all our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Neurons communicate with each other through electrochemical signals, which can be measured as wave-like patterns called brainwaves. Brainwaves are produced by synchronized electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating. They can be calculated by electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive recording of electrical activity using sensors attached to the scalp. There are five patterns of brain waves, each brainwave state representing a particular physiological function and corresponding to a different state of awareness.

Neurofeedback training is not new and has been the subject of researchers' studies for several decades. This method had been developed based on neuroplasticity characteristics of the brain: a capacity of neurons and neural networks in the brain to change their connections and behavior in response to new information, sensory stimulation, development, damage, or dysfunction. Neuroplasticity refers to the physiological changes in the brain that happen due to our interactions with our environment. Neuroplasticity allows our brains to continuously change and adapt, forging new neural connections as needed and abandoning pathways we no longer use. Neurofeedback training can help you rewire the brain for optimal performance, eliminate pathological states, and allow you to rule your life successfully and healthily. 

​
Neurofeedback has a 75-80 percent success rate with a 30-40 sessions recommendation. As an effective relapse prevention tool, neurofeedback can retrain the addicted brain to match those without addiction. This is a short-term treatment option for long-term effects to help with psychological conditions. Many pathological states and disorders are caused by poorly functioning patterns in the brain and an imbalance of different brainwaves in the other brain regions.

What is Neurofeedback?
​During a session, information about your brain is collected (that’s the neuro- part) and then the information is fed back to your brain by brief pauses in sound. That’s the feedback part. Hence the logical name, neurofeeedback.


How we experience the world is a result of our positive and negative brainwave activity. Neurofeedback can improve how we think, feel, and behave.
