Discover Real Time Digital EEG Neurofeedback
The brain whispers messages to the body through electrical impulses transmitted to the central nervous system. When the brain is injured, sometimes these electrical impulses, or brain waves, are disturbed, creating abnormal rhythmic patterns. When the brain continues to transmit these abnormal patterns, imbalances are created in the body. Since the body naturally desires balance, neurofeedback merely assists the brain in bringing itself and the body back into balance.

With the technological advancements of neurofeedback equipment, these whispers from the brain can now be amplified and projected on a computer screen as they are occurring in the brain. This capability is called "real time". It enables a more skilled and precise interpretation of the brain wave patterns.

Current brain research has shown that neurofeedback can be an effective adjunct to the medical treatment of the following brain disorders: open or close head injury, coma, stroke, epilepsy, migraine and cluster headaches, anoxia (oxygen deprivation), learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, and clinical depression.
 

An Adventure in Self-Regulation
Neurofeedback is one of the most compelling examples of the body's ability to self-regulate and bring itself back into balance. It offers individuals an opportunity to participate in their own health. The neurofeedback process unfolds as follows:

A Non-Invasive Process
Non-invasive sensors, or electrodes, are connected to specific sites on the surface of the head. The sensors enable the brain wave patterns to be displayed on the computer screen. By placing the sensors strategically on the head, specific areas of the brain can be trained to normalize rhythmic patterns.

The high-speed neurofeedback equipment can filter out and display any EEG electrical pattern or frequency produced by the brain. Two of the most significant ones are beta fast waves, and theta, a slow wave which ranges from four to seven cycles a second. Generally, the client's goal is to inhibit excessive theta wave patterns, and lower their amplitude. The computer assists the brain in recognizing normal patterns by producing audio and visual reinforcement when they occur. The brain makes the appropriate corrections immediately.

Real Time Digital EEG Neurofeedback Results
Neurofeedback helps to improve functions such as concentration, short term memory, speech, motor skills, sleep, energy level, and emotional balance. The results of the training are permanent unless injury occurs. Once the brain's normal patterns have been restored, the neurofeedback training is no longer necessary. The effects of neurofeedback training is similar to the effect of training wheels on a bicycle. Once you learn to balance by yourself, the training wheels are no longer needed. The body does not forget.
