Neurofeedback


Neurofeedback is a painless, easy-to-learn, alternative to medication for people who are looking for ways to develop greater self-regulation and control of physical and emotional symptoms. Clients use neurofeedback as a training tool for achieving greater awareness and flexibility in their responses to stress.

Neurofeedback has been shown to provide relief for a variety of CNS mediated disorders including:

Depression, Anxiety, Sports-related injuries, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, Chronic pain, Dementia, Traumatic brain injuries, Impulse control disorder, Alcohol & drug addiction, Eating disorders, Autistic spectrum/NVLD, Child development issues, Post-traumatic stress disorder, Chemotherapy “brain fog”

Passive neurofeedback occurs through the use of light and sound stimulation to produce changes in brainwave activity directly without the person's active participation. Active neurofeedback 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 electroencephalogram (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.

This 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 significant intellectual, social, emotional, or physiological benefits from optimizing neural functioning through explicit brain training.


Home-based Neurofeedback Training

Home training represents a cost-effective method for achieving rapid results through increased ease of access and frequency of training sessions. The home training process includes an intensive evaluation using quantitative EEG (QEEG) and neuropsychological testing and videotaped user training instruction over 5 to 7 sessions (totaling approximately 10 hours), so clients can go home ready to conduct neurofeedback sessions on their own computers. Installation of Bioexplorer or BioEra home-training software and custom-designed training protocols on the client’s computer is included. (At the present time, we are supporting the installation using only Windows XP platform.)

Note: Clients from out of town can expect to complete the evaluation and training process in 3 to 4 days. Hotel accommodations are available within walking distance of our offices.

All training sessions are videotaped, and clients take home a DVD of their training for their review. We will continue to work with clients from home using telephone and/or internet conferencing. We will review individual session data collected after sessions are completed, which clients will send us via email. Purchase and lease options are available for complete home training EEG, HEG, and our unique HEEG systems.
