Foundation
QuietMind is a holistic behavioral healthcare provider specializing in brainwave biofeedback therapy, psychotherapy and Bioenergetic Analysis. Our mission is to integrate EEG biofeedback into the mainstream public healthcare delivery system. The foundation is also committed to developing an academically-based training and research center for professionals in the use of this technology. The Quietmind approach to biofeedback therapy combines both passive and active forms of brainwave biofeedback. Passive biofeedback occurs through the use of light and sound stimulation to produce changes in brainwave activity directly without the person's active participation. Active forms of biofeedback requires the person's direct attention to the feedback being provided either in the form of visual or auditory signals. Both forms of biofeedback use electroencephlogram (EEG) information to improve the brain's flexibility and resilience in response to stimulation from the nervous system resulting in improved mood, energy, alertness, concentration, and impulse control. Direct, self-regulated brainwave training has benefits to offer students over a broad range of abilities: from athletes and gifted students on the one hand to students with attention, behavioral, and learning deficits on the other. There is substantial scientific evidence of significant symptom remediation for those with ADHD and related neurologically-based and learning disorders. It is believed that all students can derive either some significant intellectual, social, emotional, or physiological benefits from optimizing neural functioning through explicit brain training. There is very little risk attached to
this form of learning and choices do have to be made. We suggest that
Neurofeedback training should be conducted and supervised by knowledgeable
certified professionals. In competent hands, some 90% of all students should
expect to see [permanent] health and educational benefits ranging from subtle
to profound. These gains are reinforced in life, and are therefore expected
to be lasting. Most often cited are enduring increases in abilities to
concentrate, focus, learn, remember, and make complex decisions. Many other
benefits are commonly reported anecdotally, including improved mood
regulation, reduced anxiety, and improved sleep. IQ boosts of 10-20 points
are commonplace [typical] in certain special needs groups. No other treatment to date has so substantially reduced students' need for pharmaceuticals such as Ritalin. No other technology available today is as promising to enlarge the academic prospects of children with learning handicaps. No known alternative to Neurofeedback is likely to be more effective in fulfilling the President's vision of leaving no child behind. Clinicians and therapists have found EEG biofeedback very effective in helping with: Addictive
Disorders We integrate the use of traditional biofeedback, movement reeducation and body-centered psychotherapy techniques, including Edu-Kinesthetics, the Feldenkrais Method and Bioenergetic Analysis to help clients achieve lasting, functional improvement.
