What is Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. We observe the brain in action from moment to moment. We show that information back to the person. And we reward the brain for changing its own activity to more appropriate patterns. This is a gradual learning process. It applies to any aspect of brain function that we can measure. Neurofeedback is also called EEG Biofeedback, because it is based on electrical brain activity, the electroencephalogram, or EEG. Neurofeedback is training in self-regulation. It is simply biofeedback applied to the brain directly. Self-regulation is a necessary part of good brain function. Self-regulation training allows the system (the central nervous system) to function better.


Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain disregulation. These happen to be numerous. They 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. www.eeginfo.com

Brain Activation is a Exercise Training Program based on neurofeedback
Research shows that the brain's electrical signals are subject to change and that people can be taught how to change them. All Neurofeedback does is help the client to a specific frequency range and help him or her stay there. The Brain does the rest. 

Yet Neurofeedback is neither miracle nor panacea. It is science. It works in a scientific principle, though one that was abandoned by the powers that fund science before it was fully investigated. 

Many people have been using it for years, in some cases, 2 or 3 decades and some of the results were astounding. At gathering of neurofeedbacks practitioners, the stories of people who have had their memory restored, seen their child's hyperactivity or autism or epilepsy significantly improved, and had their lifelong migraine problem disappear are legion and routine. The effects of neurofeedback are not subtle. They are extremely robust. There is nothing else like it, not even other kinds of biofeedback. That's one of the reasons it has languished. There is nothing to compare it to. No medication require.
