Neurofeedback

We apply electrodes to the scalp to listen in on brainwave activity. We process the signal by computer, and we extract information about certain key brainwave  frequencies. (All brainwave frequencies are equal, but some are more equal than  others.) We show the ebb and flow of this activity back to the person, who  attempts to change the activity level. Some frequencies we wish to promote and others we wish to diminish. We present this information to the person in the form of a video game. The person is effectively playing the video game with his or her brain. Eventually the brainwave activity is “shaped” toward more desirable, more regulated performance. The frequencies we target and the specific locations on the scalp where we listen in on the brain, are specific to the conditions we are trying to address, and specific to the individual. Neurofeedback addresses problems with brain dysregulation. These include the  anxiety-depression spectrum, attention deficits, behavior disorders, various  sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. It is  also useful for organic brain conditions such as seizures, the autism spectrum, and cerebral palsy.
