Neurofeedback Training

Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) is a method of training brain activity using sophisticated electronic devices that monitor and feedback information to the client about minute changes in EEG patterns and relationships. This is a training approach and not a therapeutic intervention. Nothing is done to the client, there is no electrical input into the client and the neurofeedback device is simply measuring the scalp surface electrical activity in a way that is similar to a doctor listening to a heartbeat from the skin surface using a stethoscope.

The client interacts with him or herself through the medium of the feedback. Any changes in physiological activity are recorded and reflected back to the individual through the use of computer displays and audio tones that change from moment to moment. Using this information, the client can experiment with various techniques of self-awareness, insight, mental practice and relaxation while observing instantaneous responses from the computerized feedback. This process facilitates the training experience, making it much more accurate and consistent and also reduces the time necessary for learning to occur.
