What is neurofeedback?

"Our intellectual abilities and emotional resources can be considerably enhanced with neurofeedback training." Siegfried Othmer, Ph.D.

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive technique used to help the brain self-regulate. Using sensors and special software we simply measure the brain activity and reflect it back through a video display. When we allow the brain to see its own activity, it can then adjust itself for better performance and function.

Nothing is ever being transmitted into the brain. We are only recording and using the information revealed to us through the EEG.

By improving self-regulation of brain activity, we improve how our clients function cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally. This applies whether the client is an adult suffering with symptoms such as chronic headaches, or a child dealing with more severe symptoms such as autism or epilepsy. It can also be a very useful tool for athletes, entrepreneurs, or anyone looking to maximize their performance and function.

BEHAVIOR

While medication and behavioral interventions can do a good job treating the symptoms of children with ADD or ADHD, neurofeedback strengthens and stabilizes the brain naturally to regain better control and focus. Neurofeedback builds on your strengths and focuses on the person as a whole.

STRESS AND ANXIETY

Anxiety is a common response to stress, and sufferers often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and fatigued. Neurofeedback can help guide your brain to change how it responds to stimuli that disturb your physical and mental balance.

PEAK PERFORMANCE

Concentration, focus, and emotional control are key to achieving optimal performance in all fields. Athletes and business executives are taking advantage of neurofeedback technologies to learn how to utilize the full potential of their minds to reach their peak.
