Neurofeedback helps individuals learn to regulate their own brain function to reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and insomnia. It is also used to enhance peak performance in executive functioning, sports, and performing arts.
Research has shown which brain wave patterns and which areas of the brain are involved in all different aspects of our functioning such as our emotions, our ability to focus on important things and disregard unimportant things, and our fight/flight vs. rest/digest states. Using data from a QEEG brain map, we can look at what is happening in the brain that is likely linked to your symptoms. This enables us to create detailed personalized brain training protocols that match your specific needs and goals.
During a neurofeedback training session, sensors on your scalp guide the training by reading brain activity like a stethoscope reads your heartbeat. Nothing is put into your brain. The system "rewards" your brain (via videos on your phone) whenever it approaches the desired brainwave patterns. After some trial and error, your brain will actually learn to produce the optimal brainwave patterns so that you can function more efficiently, stably, and with resilience. With enough repetition, the brain will learn to access those patterns as needed and training sessions will no longer be necessary.
