Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback emerged from the research labs of the University of Chicago and Stanford University in the 60s and 70s. Its initial use was developed for anxiety and seizure control in epileptics. EEG biofeedback, or neurofeedback, has been used successfully for over two decades at the clinical level on the effects of stress, epilepsy, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, addictions, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, TMJ, pain management, restless leg syndrome, migraines, closed head injury, stroke, and many other disorders.Neurofeedback is best provided by experienced EEG biofeedback specialist or neurotherapist. Treatments may vary in number but typically range from 10 to 50 sessions. Some complex cases may require more sessions to accomodate the amount of needed treatment. Treatments usually involve one hour of training two to three times per week or there are programs and equipment that allow for training at home. The client is connected to a computer through sensors that convert brainwaves into frequency groups (delta, theta, alpha, beta) that can be measured in amplitude as they vary. This variation in amplitude can be fed back to the client in the form of visual wave patterns or computer images/cognitive on a monitor. The waves can also be used to drive synthesizers to feedback varying tones to the client. Through the use of pictures and sound the client learns to control his or her brainwaves and increase them or decrease them in frequency and amplitude. Continued training will allow the client to learn how to change their brainwave patterns at will.
